{quote} That was convincing enough for me to go long again at 70 with a TP to 00 which was my original plan B this morning. Got a fill at 70. Stop is at 62. Betting they're not coming back for it. There was just too much force catching too many folks off guard, except Sakisf.
Damn, it got me too.. i sold at 70, i thought its near the top.. bad start lol..
Dont trade like me..

Don't know whether you exited a buy there or sold a fresh one, but it's still to early to tell isn't it? If you exited a buy there with a 15 to 30p profit, for a day trade that is nothing to complain about.

{quote} I've found that Hedging is hit and miss for me, it's easy to put on a hedge. But difficult to consistently get out of them well. I've isolated 4 problems with my manual scalping....in order of priority and importance: (1) Not leaving my trades alone, letting minor PBs mid trade to allow me to get out of a trade and change opinions that took time to formulate. Costing me pips in spread and timing. More times than not, my first opinion turns out to be right, without having my stop hit if the trade had been left alone. Everyone has this experience....
I have 2&3 issues. I always pamper the trades since they are 1 min. If I take one of the 30m-1h tf then I just leave it alone for couple hours. 4 is ok for me if I get 5 sl's hit for 4 pips but one runner does 40+. But I mess it up due to 2&3 on 4. Currently (last couple days) I am trading mostly SP due to possibility of small stops. High point cost there is less forgiving to overtrading & random positioning so it helps to fix 2&3. At least till now, my crap trading in EU & dax is paid back by SP, until I get a bad loser there

Got that previous spike up, first successful trade in EU (with tp hit) in like a week (usual n.5 issue - not identifying when the trend has changed and scalping counter).

Below 45 and we are below not only today's OR mid but the mids of the last 48 and 36 consecutive trading hours (not 2 and 3 days candles). It needs to stay below 45 to stay bearish for today.

She finally gave it up for now. Good thing I reversed. I have a ton of pips to get back to even today. A few weeks ago I was down 30 in the morning and took out +5p before days end. Today I've managed to bury an even deeper hole, and now expect some back, all would be even better. TP is set. SL is set to BE. We still need to break 30 below to really validate this move I think, then 1.13 is not too far off. If she comes back to over 50, it's going to surprise and disappoint a lot of people. 30 is the key number here for those currently bearish.

buyers from 48 and 72 hours ago are not giving up their prices between 46 and 48 so easily even after that dip down to 33, I did the unthinkable and got long again at 49.8 still got a ton of pips to make up

Are those keltner lines?

Should have waited for it to reach the big ma's first with the momentum it had (short at 55 instead of 48, otherwise it makes my sl wider).

spot on if looking at lower time frames. My pivot mid is showing 11353.
I meant 55 was spot on if looking at lower time frame

I haven't been observing but a nice 15p OR fakeout in the morning - they came back quickly to OR but but but they haven't gone through the other side yet
so the mindfuck game continues. Nice pin on H1, too bad it's in consolidation.

dax beckoning a move down?

Haven't been positive for a single minute since I opened both GU & EU shorts. As soon as one gets below my line the other retard goes fast up. Difficult to play when EG is leading them and usd is neutral.

{quote} Are those kepler (or what it's called - can't remember, seen it in a market profile strategy) lines?
The lines straight across end to end are intraday pivot type OR and SR lines. The other lines that step up and down with price are time based SR lines updating with each bar instead of a static bar or point in time back, they go back from 30 bars to 4320 bars (up to last 72 hours on for 1mn) and up to 60 days worth of hourly bars on 1H....a line for each H, L and mid, for each rotating price point. It sounds convoluted but something I've been trying to plot off and on for a long time that I just figured out this morning.

The snake like line blue/red line is something I found on the MT4 site, not sure if I like it yet, been putting it off and on for the last 2 or 3 days. It seems to give just as many bad sigs as good ones but it seems to help confirm the angle of step ups and downs of my new indie lines.

hoping not, I'm short EU again, just trying to get some contact and some base hits instead of doubles and triples.

Was reading a strategy where keltner channel is used for profit taking (like bb) and thought you used them too.

Meant for EU to go down. dax spiked up hard and is free now on daily.

Don't like my EU & GU shorts anymore. Hedged them both with a dax short and will go out once pl = 0. & out
