Looks like we bought too early yet again, man. I saw you were stopped out, but I'm still holding mine. My entries aren't ideal, but they're still relatively good.

Once I see some signs of basing down here, I'll be adding a bit more.
Another scalping day for me bro. Been making pips on all of them albeit not so many on some...LOL

But I'm largely just buying dips for these scalps. Until we get past all the BS news and Helter Skelter reactions, I'd rather not hold much draw down if possible. There will plenty of opportunity to "position" when the dust settles IMO

Fair enough... plus, we made out pretty good last night

A lot of us were saying yesterday that 144.00 would be an ideal place for a retest and then long. Based on last night's PA, I wasn't sure it was going to get there and so started buying. Had I just slept through it, I'd be better off now, and those that were patient (or lucky enough to be asleep)... well, I hope you guys/gals bought.

I'm watching the 1min and it's starting to show signs that we're perhaps putting in a base here. I'd definitely like to see us close above 144 again for the day to make that 2 in a row. Obviously the mid to upper 144s would be preferred.

And I was right there thinking the same thing. I too had doubts it would make it. I really blew this last one though. Been watching the 15M and completely missed a play I always take. A bounce off the 200sma (green) on the 1H chart. Whoops! LOL

I was also fixated on that 38.2 fib thinking a base at 143.70ish. It made 143.86 (That 200 1H) and I didn't notice. But if I don't take another trade this week, I'm happy to be where I was last week before I got STUPID Friday morning!

As of now, the 55 (blue) is capping price on the 1H so may get another test lower today.

I'm having terrible lag on my platform today and having to use the brower based platform instead, what a nightmare! I don't know if its the servers or what, but I had a windows service pack forcefully installed during my shutdown last night and its been slower ever since...

I woke up surprised, cant believe we broke below the 40 level, but yet again buyers are stepping in... I am averaged at 144.55 at the moment

I will only be adding to positions and not closing until 168, I have said this too may times and even tho I am up pretty well I shouldnt be trading as often as I am.

ha! I went with the gf to go view an apartment and was surprised we've made some good progress since.

I think we may put an offer in on it today!

I think the Dragon drank some bad fuel man. She flies...she falls...she flies...she falls.

I was just thinking about you watching the 1M. Made my head hurt...lol

But I'm back in long again @ 144.26 and 40

haha, believe it or not... this place is one block SOUTH of Lombard on our same street. So, it'd be about a 2 block move :-)

And she'll be OK, she's just trying to shake it out of her system. Putting in a base I reckon.

Yeah, I'm holding these for a while now. I figure I can afford one more position so if she drops enough again, I'll grab it.

Keeping my eye on the 1h mostly now. I'm liking all those lower wicks. Seems she's getting bought up pretty good.

Oh ok, when you said "apartment" I just assumed rent.

LOL...same here on the 1H.

You see buddy, we suffer from the same thing. We see what will happen (yesterday us calling for 144) but we see it too early (usually a day or two ahead of time in my case). Then when it doesn't happen, we think we're wrong. Well....here we are

Yeah... it's a 1 bedroom place so I don't know what else to call it

And hey, yeah we may pull the trigger too early but I like my position I have now. I did manage to get one at 144.02 too
