M15 is fun, but I've been focusing a lot more on the H1/H4/H12/Daily. Trying to do more with less. Of course, not much one can do with the HTF's swing wise, but the range is still good for a few hundred.

M15 looks like an ascending triangle breakout to the north.
yeah seeing the same, but those wedges fail with a false break almost as often as they succeed in my opinion...

you know me v, m15 is long term in my book... least when i'm in scalping mode... btw risk on would see reduced dollar demand, as investors move from liquid cash into securities and vice versa...
Yep... rejected... will be back to check on it next hour. Until then bears until bulls...

reckon intrady stops are above 25 dpp area, as someone just mentioned... sell stops likely to be just below friday's low...

meantime it looks like the arbitrage boys and girls and algos are just screwin' around...

They are awesome, but the problem is, you need room for it to move too as well. This one broke to the north right into a close supply level of a higher time frame, so obviously it overrides. The patterns are important, the muck in the way even more.

Yep. I use levels too, but they come from recent candle bodies, but that's about it. Patterns, I mostly just pay attention to compression and triangles.

Compression is a hard one, as it's hard to find the top of it.

The level to beat was 2909. Kicked it clear outa there.

Edit: The cool thing about the way I trade... if this current candle finishes bear, then the level to beat moves down. 2905. But this has to finish bear first, then be beat.

But as always, the big boys sucker in as many people as possible... then completely flip the direction around. To me, that is why closes are so important.

Maybe the news can get her going? I tried twice with it. Two scalps for a total of 20'ish pips. The short from here is suppose to be monstrous... but I am only so patient with stuck price. I know I will be regretting it mid week sometime next week...

last 4 h was a bear b/o close.. but if the next h close my 4h. takes away the last 3 or more watch out. a close now above 2927 is a bullish sign. for
... the edge for this is st one at 2826 is 30245... but even higher dont stop the bear. 3079 or even 3140 is valid. so the next h the 4 could be a i hammer if we close near the current low.. that indicates bullish and would agree with the Friday day candle... bears need a nice LL move this h.. if not.. closes above 2927 should not be ignored. for the bounce to 3014 ish
2 4h candles closed after post atm.. the attempt for 2926 was rejected just under. its a R atm. the next red candle after the dogi marked 2 was the rejected one. since its red and under 2927 ( closed) its still in the bear mode. only when/if that changes today. the bear will remain. to be safe a close above 2930. since w/o it i still have 2866.. st... a close now under 2887 on my 4 at 5est... would put 2839 in the scope and lower the bounce height potential

not much, just reading a bit here and there.

just saw that Scott Forstall is going to leave Apple... kind of worrying how things are changing there since Steve passed away. The "new broom" hopefully isn't going to destroy the best computers, I have ever used up to now. Just as a precaution I am taking a look at the newer editions of Debian. My homeserver is running the fourth straight year now without a single hickup.

Btw... does Windows 8 really suck that much? I had a discussion this afternoon where a person seriously wanted to tell me that I could manipulate the system to be able to boot to a desktop environment... I mean, come on... what has become of the "out-of-the-box"-experiences?
