We're playing around a tricky area. Put a horizontal line at 3565 on a 4H. Zoom all the way out. Look at the PA that has occurred here in the past. We could dick around this level for quite awhile....or not. Yes, we've been in bear mode, and yes, the weekly looks promising for further bear......but it's not a done deal. Trade safe....
Yup, I've just been playing scalps all night tonight so far... 5 to 10 pips at a time. Price is not very consistent in direction or conviction.

I just try and follow price. If it's going up, buy the dips, if it's going down sell the rallies. At this point, it would have probably been better just to hold through the noise though.

This is always an ever growing learning... I am not where near as good as a lot of the folks on this board.

But nervous? No, I don't leverage my trades to unreasonable amounts... I could loose 100 trades in a row and i'd still be here ready to go.

Although, I must say I would be slightly annoyed. lol

Direction... decided by swing highs/swing lows. If it's just a retrace, the next swing high should generally be higher then the previous.

See, e/u on the 5m just made a new lower swing high, so now I am looking at shorts.

Nothing is ever full proof, and I have been known to be wrong quite a bit... lol

If we end up making a new high, then I was wrong, close the trade and move on.

I'm not a scalper, but if I were, here's one way I might do it: trade the slope of this line. It's the one I showed before, and it's a variety of a Gaussian filter. John Ehlers has some papers on them.

By my count, depending on the threshold of the slope, and just when in the 1M the slope changed (not shown), there might have been as many as 6, or as few as 2 trades. The last one would have been around 21:35CST, at around 43.

Not recommending this filter, nor this technique, but just a thought.

Now we retrace again for more shorty opportunity, eye on 3543 and 3540 to adjust bias.

One of these days, I need to just stay up for london trading. It must be nice when price actually moves in a consistent direction. lol

(or just moves)
