3070 is the mid of that big reversal day monday, and a possible swing low...thats why I think it has some importance, more so on the daily close...
Have you ever put ALL of your levels on one chart...and then observed them in zones?

If I was in front of your station, it would be the first thing I would try and fit on my microfilm (lol) when you went for a shitty (lolol).

Just to see it once. Colour coordinated, of course...to hold TF significance. I know it would "look" like shit, but what DOES it look like? I'm just curious from a programmatic point of view.

indeed...


doesn't feel like a low here...still looking for a long, but dont see anything just yet..
Ditto that.

Your 70/50 zone has had my eye for hours. Give and take zone, kind of thing. BUT...one feckin tweet and that could be steamrolled...to the north, or south. Ah well...take'er as she comes.

Bollocks!

Just missed a big old double top on GU? Rarely trade the pair these days, but I almost took the first run at 1.60. I definitely should've taken the second failed attempt at 1.60. THAT is a no-brainer trade...win or lose.

Killer is smoking his pipe from the first run!

Can't blame you. I may flatten and observe for a few mins if she spins.

long 3080, risk 3060, offer 3220...

not very convincing, but I took a crack, looks like it still might want a better look at 70, but I have to step away for a bit...bbs..

You mean partial profit, right? You're leaving some runners...not closing and then opening higher on the next setup?

I think we trade a pretty similar style...some differences, obviously. On my chart...

I look for a decent entry. The one there is exceptional...and as mentioned earlier, there was some luck involved. But...I do come across similar ones quite often; less than 5-6 pips DD kind of thing. I go in large...like I'm scalping. After 20 pips, the trade is done for me. There has been enough pulled from it, and if the remainder goes at BE...I only need two/three of those a day to look like this:

But...once they start running...cha-ching! Normally (time-permitting)...I'm looking for the next setup while the others are running. It seems like you do something fairly similar...except maybe not with the scalp lean in on the trade.
