Well, I'm long 73 (should be 74 on my chart, but 1 tick pos slip) Edit : missed +30 by a tick out @ +22. I notice line charts do not accurately reflect what is seen at the time of entry. {image}
What charts are you looking at ?

My 333 and 999 tick chart seem to be very different.

Further to earlier charts, here both patterns repeat;

First set-up, HD forms, go on first parabolic. There is another set-up after this one, but i ignored as ND now strong and in my experience is usually risky.
