{quote} I think that it always better to trade price action rather than have rules not to trade. I wouldn't recommend taking a position a few minutes before the inventory numbers, but the pre-release and post release trades have been nice, and not just today.
the only reason I don't trade Wednesdays is price action isn't controlled for what I am doing its to erractic 90% of the time. its not that you cant get setups I just choose to trade 4 days with controlled PA remember I am in essence scalping looking to get 15 ticks with 9 tick stop if PA is not controlled well it could hurt me lol. I have had the experience already and that's why I don't trade inventory day

there was a perfect hat to short at 45.39 1 minute ago
On the 13r, yes. But the 18r has not indicated a short yet. Possible 123 short at 36 for the counter-trend traders

EDIT: ... or a with trend continuation at 53.

What is surprising to me, at any rate, is how trendy the moves in Bonds, Stocks, and Oils has been this morning. I have grown accustomed to FOMC days being snoozefests until the afternoon rate announcement.

if spacing is tight use 5 tick pullback otherwise use 4 on hats use 4 tick pullback. I asked myself this question would u rather miss a trade or take a loss that's why I changed it
