Eddy & Jupiter , well done onyour nimble dancing. Unfortunately for me, I have to sweat it out here as my troops on the longside are under water. I scaled out some positions so as to make taking the punches a bit easier . OK, got to go back to the battlefield ! Report back later.

if i'm not wrong... he's dancing 5 minutes... but just like me... using 1 minute to time my entries and exits...

and when we're in a right direction... we just monitor 15 minutes...

when volatility is gone... or start slowing down (price action)

then i normally back with 5 minutes and once in a while i glance with 1 minute... a lot of information and details in 1 minute chart too...

...again anything that works for you... that's fine

p.s. having at least 3 monitors is very handy... i have 2 desktops with 4 monitor and a laptop... with backup UPS...

Yes , I was long before news, squared out before news but left scout in. When the scout was in good position, I started adding in more troops on the pullback. Unfortunately the bears got stronger and I got stuck with my positions. I normally don't like flipping too quickly, so decided on staying with my bull bias but scaled out as troops got deeper and deeper under water. Since then I have been mounting my hit and run rescues (that's how I normally do it, maybe others do it differently). 50% of my troops now back safely at base, so another 50% to rescue. However all is not lost if I decide to pull the plug now as the losses will only be approx 10% of what I collected this week. But for now, I am still comfortable holding on to my postions and doing my rescues.

when i'm doing rescue... i need to do it swiftly and quickly... the aim is to control damage... not to profit... breakeven would be nice but the main purpose is to bring back your troops home... even some of them are wounded...

and never ever stay...

i hope you're okay...

Thanks dongsky for your answer to shr5.
How embarrassing... I'm only a student here, you know it.
See you next week.
With less show up. I promise.

Yes, I understand all that. Thanks for highlighting it again. I guess at the moment I am trading scared as I don't feel confident enough yet to commit too many troops during rescues, hence I have a tendency to do hit and runs. I have scaled out my exposures for the news. I am still ok, keeping a sharp eye on the book .
