Thanks for that insight. I'm sure some of J.L.s stuff is antiquated. But much of it is relevant. Human psyche being the best example of the latter. Whereas Technology and accessibility change much of the former.

Oh and I already told jawn he can have my truck and my dogs. Sorry...

I'm kind of changing strategies here, moving to higher TFs. Testing some stuff in demo, and it looks pretty good so far. I'm moving over to trading all pairs at a time, maybe one or two trades/pair. SL, TP all the good stuff, because I'm searching for an easier way to trade, right now. I realized I have a life too... LOL. So anyway in three days, between losers and winners it made me about 1200 pips. I think I put in about 20 trades. What I realized was when I put in the trade, I'm not worried where exactly the SL will be but I rather ask the following question: Which one is more likely to be hit? The TP or the SL? You can tell the r:r is kind of shitty but it seems to be working somehow...

exactly.. that would be a nice thing to do. fire up some lots, see if they struggle eating them
I used to do the sell to buy or buy to sell trick on occasion near the close. If I where talking a sizable long position home, I would want to protect the close or try to paint it as high as I could. Settlements where calculated from the average of the last 30secs of trade. So just before the first bell, say with 45secs left, I would sell a portion of my position, to have some bullets for the last 30secs. Right after I was done selling I would uptick it just before the 30sec bell.Now I could do two things. First I could be a buyer against any Market on Close sellers, to take the other side, and avoid prices sliding. Second, I could wait for the last 3/5 seconds and just hit as many offers as I could trying to get a good settlement, or make a new high for the day if it where in range, that was my favorite. Naturaly things didnt always go as planned, and quite a few times I had egg on my face, because the close is one of the most active times and you always had bastards lurking, and with 30 seconds to work with you didnt have much time for error. Dont forget, that we had to write these trades down too, and you had to keep a postion count as you went, lol..

Set an alarm ages ago on this - just went off - looks a little overdone to me on the daily , could see a 50/100 pip retrace
