Erasmus. I have also sometimes problems detecting, when market is on sideways mode ie. I take trades in too tight range. Better to just wait bigger moves first and start trading only then. It's only so lucrative to start trading setups right away.

I've been away couple of days. How's it been? Looks like today would have given me a massive headache and a heap of losses in hindsight, but not sure how it might have looked in real time...
