It is boring, took a short earlier for a few pips, am done for the day though, NY is not giving us anything worth trading.
bad weather out that way is not going to help any....

Nothing confirmed yet, it it thin out there. Still biased to the short side here, not a single signal long.

Am not trading this, it's rubbish. Ranging 3131-3148 with an occasional spike to 3153

Range pivot is now 3145, she is starting to favour the topside for a break here.

. i have that bad feeling i got on the train too soon...

Yup, your feeling would be correct. Most traders though watch the price instead and ignore feelings....

Just let NY show you the way, use whatever strategy/method you like, just don't go jumping the gun on a range that started before the open.

Watch you pivots of the range to give you an early headsup of direction.

The pivot is doing its thang.....

Rising support is keeping this up from the open.





See y'all, am done here, not interested in scalping for a few pips, waste of my time.

short already. i have that bad feeling i got on the train too soon... if i get sled i will get in again higher.

we might still go up the top of the channel (blue lines on the 15m) again. but if and once we get down to below 3100 i hope that daily line will be broken and we could see an interesting downer (would expect more if it weren't this time of the year).

Hang tight in your short. This time of year gives alot of traders the jitters, but I say to you hang tight, your short has a high probability of paying off.

This is what I have draw for top and bottom of a box, what do you think cloggie?

Top: 1.31698
bottom: 1.31119

I've read most box traders have a rule of 3 touches for a top or bottom, is that the same rule you follow?

an hourly close under 3126 would give the ball back to the bears, otherwise bulls will be looking for 3165 and 3183...

Got 3139-3157 now. It just keeps moving from range to range, no solid breakout in sight.

Do you zoom down to the 1M to determine the ranges?

right now i am in doubt if i should close the short now and get a better entry a little bit higher (yes, i think we won't get much higher than this before going lower, at least some) or just let it be since i think we won't get much higher.

right now i see 1.3180 as possible daily high and below 1.3115 as a hard nut to crack. market's slow so i wait 3 more 15m candles for a TD count reversal setup for the short.

should have waited a little more as there were some buyers (vol) in when i took the trade. no problemo.

58 or 65 are, right now, key for me.

lots of resistance from here to 320x... the easier path is the best.. 3147.. is still a big number intra-day. a daily close above and taken out 320x.. would make longs easier. .. hey but the bears will try to get us below 3113 before close today and for the week. a poke above or below a level is just that. we are just in a little range until.. trade what is given, not what you want. bulls want to blow the top off 3189... 3202 ect.. w/o 320x and a close..it don't matter what they want, its not given.. weekly chart shown
where 3202 came from (3201.5)

Before the open, I thought NY would sell this, but the open pretty much changed my bias and told me no-go. Right now I would not be holding a short, but it is your strategy and your money, not mine. I am flat. If I would be trading, I would be looking at the long side, based on the current PA.

i am, indeed, hanging on to it. decided to increase my risk a little and i will rise my sl (there we have another break of the golden rules we were talking about last friday) by 10 pips. 31822 is a big number on my book. expect buyers to come in at 73 and 82 so i put sl above that.
