agreed - there was a HL, so I turned my other one back on and it bought at 10,935 in the 8:45 bar and it hit TP for +40, with the next BRN looking likely.....TWT

No its not easy! Think about selecting the direction and set it to only trade in that direction .......it needs a certain amount of additional input / filtering to be profitable.

I'm busy with another project, so not posting for a bit.

Thanks Islander, i know i have to be more picky about my trades, but i allready improved, i could easily make 30/40 trades in 1/2 hours, without direction and jumping on every change, you know the result ... Gained my pips today.

I'm busy with another project, so little time to post, work continues on my use of an EA.

This morning's (manual) entries.....as I type, I'm long again off the **50 level....SL now +1 and I'll probably close when I go out or move my SL and set a TP

Edit: closed +5 on stop

GM - just a different view using Market Statistics.....the last three PVPs totalled 100 horizontal units. So far this developing PVP totals 8 units.....I wonder how many horizontal units are needed to allow all of those longs to exit........hey - Dr P any ideas.....

That developing PVP was yet more accumulation and Dax ground its way to more ATHs late in the cash session. The 1 day PVP is now at 11,330 with a new area developing ~ 11,390.

I took an early buy today as price held > Friday's close and moved above today's open, out at R1 and reversed for 10 as it was against the trend. Waited for XO and bought again. Took partials at R1 and the remainder at MR2, although its now looking like the Sweet Spots are better targets. Now more coffee whilst we wait for the CPI data....

From D1's thread....
For me, the failure after XO making a lower high and failing to break above the **25 SS was the signal to sell and there was another LH UNDER both the day's open and yesterday's close that confirmed the sell.

As usual for me (!) I did bank too early at yesterday's low, but then sold again and waited for a wide ranged higher volumed bar to bank again. Any fast MA helps remind me to stay short - here its the 21 LWMA

The lows are at the 38% retrace on the hourly chart, also a prior accumulation area, with the next area ~the 50% retrace. Now I expect a retrace into the Decision Zone (38% to 61%) with a half sized buy as price broke above the fast MA. Now a break until the US Session

PS price moved up into the DZ and the 50% retrace.....
