will be done with the summer session soon, should be a nice stretch to DEC..it will all come out in the wash brother..
Oh, yeah. And next week going to start bonds.

For EUR, we're going to start building toward "auto-scalping." When the fan turned brown, I was composing one last post to Magix, talking about automating some of what he, Cloggie, and you do, among others. I couldn't complete it, and just said "gotta go" instead.

I know none of you are really scalping, but it's easier to say than "auto-range-trading" or something. Plenty of time to discuss some of that later when it isn't two f**king o'clock.

And just like that, we're (unrealized) in profit again for the week (I think). That's a good time to go to bed.

In my previous posts, I put chino close is just up the road, I could have been a touch more specific. As Chino will tend towards their previous close, or Chino roll, the previous Chino roll is at 4447.

Will we get there? Pshhh, market is a little lack luster this week compared to the last couple, I think I might side with cloggies advice from last night and really not get too serious about the close of this week, and GBP bank holiday Monday.
We were rejected @ Chino roll and NY Roll was never tested...

The way I figures it, if we bust threw chino again, we are going to the moon or the TK LO cross got about a buck 15 to drop this bitch about 50 pips so that TK ain't that far behind on the exodus that could begin, really...anytime.

Press in 15 mins and I just got an M5 trigger to see if we are going to run @ top, but so far, it ain't on the paying side of shit...As we haven't tested anything close to support, I just ain't feeling the long side loving right now and still content on waiting the next set of bear droppings. <-did you see what I did there?

Anyways, my dos centavos says, a short side here with stops above HOD or chino roll is the play to be in...

But really, who the fuck knows?

That's pretty good thinking IMO....

IF we are gunna drop, it's going to be into NY an hour off the top ain't really gunna much matter.

A proper surge will drop the week and if we get that, I would almost say you could hold the play until Tuesday...

But, with the market being proper fucked...again...

That's a hell of a fucked up hourly candle.
New high and low, lower close but higher than the open of the last one.
A mess!
Complete indecision
But at this point i'd rather short than long

In the traditional prop sense of scalping for the money in between pips...No...Given spreads at best and commish, unless your working your platform from your desk at the bank, really, nobody is doing that....

But, really, what do you consider a scalp?

Do you go by the range of the trade or the length of the hold or the TF traded?

Having exposure to a great many charts and several methods of trading, in the "Not so Traditional Sense", I do...trigger off the M1 and take the quickies for a few skips....

When ya got some time, we can hop into an Ivoice chat, easier to see and say with the full on whiteboard.

Probably not...

But if you filled said bathtub with water and tried the same thing...I'm guessing your fillings would at least get really hot.
