It's a beautiful thing to have the confidence to do that!
It's the senior diapers (Depends) that give me the confidence to do it!

Thanks older fart than me.

I was trying to post a 1hr chart to show you why I entered the trade near your entry but must have had operator error. Any how I had a little trend line across the bottom on the 1hr.

No I'm not old enough to have a senior moment yet, just a computer idiot moment I guess.

Reversed long at 6505....took a short at 6550 on the run up......then went long again when i thought 6530 was becoming support, closed that trade for a few when the flat top candles came out on the 15m.

Way over trading for me but still holding the short from 6550, took 40 off the first time and covered +4.

So 30 and 45 and 10 and 40 so around 130 out of all that this session with 2 southbound soldiers still running. That was a lot of work.

Sure would like to see some follow through come back into these moves. It is tough for me to trad into into 6600 area. I think the Fed has been protecting that area all summer!

Take it to the flag store and get it fixed before the bear gets pissed!

We've put in a triple bottom on the m15, h1 and the h4. I can't see anymore shorts for the time being.

Great job! You've done better in one session than 99% of the traders around the world do in a week.
