2778 would be the natural # for a bounce that would justify anything other than a scalp.

noted.

The thing is, when the good stuff comes up, I'm simply too tired to reply, or *looking over my shoulder* my wife keeps me busy.

My schedule still stands... this fall I have to make the decision, whether or not this is going to be full-time, whatever full-time means in this business.
The change of approach in the beginning of this year was good for me (and my account, so to speak).

But I'm still trying to keep the band-of-brothers together, though I'm very likely to fail there. Together, we were unstoppable.
The reality is that only a few full-time traders bother to post on FF. The vast majority is tyre-kickers , demo traders and hoping-to-get-rich- on- a -$200 mini account types.

The social interaction is good because it can be a boring and lonely job but at some stage you also realize that forums can be counter-productive and a distraction and a build-in BS filter is essential.

That's exactly why I used to ask so many questions about people's approaches to trading. When I understand, what they're doing, even if understanding is rudimentary, I can take their views/numbers into consideration for my own views or the way I look at things. How often do I overlook a certain mofu and Gator points in the right direction to get me 'in-lin' again...?

It's too bad that we don't have these vivid discussions anymore.

so you don't think 2850 is going to hold this?

I never know beforehand. I mentioned 3108 this morning, which I wanted as an entry. So far, the current turning point is exactly at the mid-point to it. 2778 is a big lower mofu level, and we either bounce there big(ger)-time, or we go much lower.
At the moment, I feel like the market is turning signal candles upside-down to rape us.

Here is the same chart from above, where I simply added the mid and target to the downside. Easy math, isn't it?

I had to. On the H4, I have a hanging man right at the top, and I cannot short into that. The following H4 candle told me that the train already left the station.

If you draw a line on your H1 at 3042 and count the candles fighting it... then you look at some posting who "definitely knew" it was gonna sell off there... would you agree that those are bs-posts?
