st bulls want 2944.. its norm to go back to 2892 before.. but below 2874 is probably a rejection of the bull.. at least st. the same is true on a bigger tf 2893/2958.. bulls have to make a higher high in the ponzi scheme. or bears feast
looked like just an intraday shakeout at first, went lg from 2910 on the dip, but just got out at 918 as no follow through, yet, also hourly close candle spooked me...

Yep. I'll be looking for shorts here soon on any weakness.

Edit: H4 play though. We are in a bit of a tricky area right now, since the weekly needs a retrace deeper south, daily still says long ish... h4 short. It will be nice if we can get the daily turned soon here. We may be at the highs for a long time right here... and if not... i'll pay the piper.

lesson number 1, nothing is for certain in this business... why so many people have problems trading, dealing with uncertainty and probability...
It's amazing it took me so long to get this... considering the profession as a programmer.

Risk x for y where x < y... simples. That way, you can be completely wrong, or completely right in your analysis. Everything else is taken care of.

Stop me out. I love being stopped out.

Yep... I love it. I need to be right around 20-30% (average) of the time to break even. Although, it's nice being right more than 50% generally.

Has anything changed?

I can't decide if I want to consider the daily bearish yet or not. The daily close under 2873 might do it for me.

In very small so far. If 2460 goes convincingly, I'll probably just dump the two small ones and wait for higher.

Did you put any in the bank...or holding them all?
Second order filled here...
