Shouldn't regret, stuck at the 200's. I have a feeling for 1.1380+ today, maybe it's just recharging. Moved stop back to original ... and out at -1 pip.

{quote} They loved that 561 spot. Except not in the way I had hoped. They blew by it like a truck plowing through a wall. Well if you can't beat um, join em...reversed a few seconds too late but 529 is my sell point. If this is just a PB, then I whipped myself again, crappy way to end a pretty awesome session. Otherwise, if it's a reversal start, then a retracement to 20 is plausible. So today will either be +40 or +85. Either my MT4 or my internet is very slow right now, having difficulty modifying my orders right now.
Don't enter when indies are low...

Hoped for a full swing from top but chickened out after 20, they were cooling down too fast.

[Edit] If you scalp, you don't enter short here. If you missed the entry at S/R, just wait for another one.

Holy crap. My inet connection was really messed up for several minutes, I had to tether with my phone's wifi instead, I thought it was the indies buffers on my MT4 anyway came back but since couldn't put in my hard stops was whipped 5 pips harder than I had as my initial worst case scenario...so my plus 57 day is now not plus 40 but plus 35...should have quit when I said I would.

Ahhhrgh, actually, plus 30... not a bad day from a numbers viewpoint, but a horrible unexpected afternoon. Done trading for the week!!!!

Good luck with the rest of the session guys.

I'm a glutton for punishment. Using my other portable mifi/wifi router now for now.

Long about 10 minutes ago at 549. Not putting in my stop levels here anymore, I know it doesn't make a difference and that my stop levels mean nothing to the overall market whether I post them or not. But I run my position trading EAs with hidden stops or fake stop levels, so why let the world know where my stop is for manual scalping for the sake of the thread? In general, I place them 3 to 15 pips max away from entry level depending on where I'm entered. Anything over 15 pips, then I've picked the wrong scalping direction. There are sometimes 40 or more viewers during peak trading here now. Only will reveal general stop levels on chart at times but no hard numbers for stop levels anymore, unless I'm already in a profit. Again, just superstition, but I gotta be as comfortable as possible when I trade, even though I may be a delusional and paranoid.

Stopped at -12.5.

Entered another L at 488 this time.

Currently +17.5 for day down from +57 this morning.

-11.2 on bad reload

+6.3 for the day.

I throw in the towel while I still have one today.

My daily pip curves this week look like this...

Was on the plus side, but pathetic. Don't try this at home.

Stop longing, we're below 50% of 4h and below 350, it's risky.

I'm done for the week too. Had days where I fought from -30 in the morning to positive pips and a day like today, +57 to much fewer almost zero pips. It's been a ride. Fighting back from -30 in the morning, made me think I could add more from +57 in the middle of the session. Got lots of things to work on. Trading wise and mental. Scalping is like fighting everyday for me, where I want it to be like surfing or boogie boarding instead.

Not sure if that was intentional but it's a double entendre. I was wrong to long end of the day, especially the last one for -11 when everyone else had finished, no more scalpers and action, fewer parties to move the market as well, end of week and end of volatility with all the news finished.

Bad analogy, surfers have terrible dangerous and deadly wipeouts and boogie boarders get crushed and rolled by huge waves too. Mmm, riding a wave...riding a bike, bicycle is a better analogy, I got to get to the point where it's smooth and controlled, much more controlled and deliberate. Gotta kill the gambling tendencies, it's so easy to just play another hand blindly like at a table, with scalping there's a hundred ways to blow a hand all day long.

Anyway, have a nice relaxing w/e all.
