setup was there 1 minute after market opened it was not spitting out candles so I thought it was worth a short trend was already down market reacted to nf and this was the pb. I do normally wait a few because candles fly out but it was moving slowly

BE at 7, take 15 on the 1st trade. Then BE at 7, target 30, lock-in 15 at 25? Something like that?

Thank you -

Thanks man - UJ was stellar this morning too. Big swings in the EU made it a little harder to read, but also had a few great setups.
