apk..short answer is yes......remember the high or low bar is only as entry idea....wise traders who want to use that with small stops might want to use a range chart or even a 30 second chart to keep risk smaller......I watch for the slowdown but today I was a bit off and started to average in at that 93 area first initiation.....so I lost on those but made up for it on the 87 - 89's back to the 91 area ......when I plan to average I start small so if wrong I have enough ammo that i don't care if I have to lose money on initial entry point...but I think there where better way to play it today ....next post has a video with what I was looking at in general

that's it for me...coming out on all runners at 90 even...exhausting today

good trading Bruce.. did that put you on the positive side for the day?

thx

I really NEED to go out and move and shovel snow....I mean I really NEED it......gotta get some stress outta my head and body...be back later....i'd be careful if they push up into the 93 - 94 area...the "b" pattern plaers may want to drive it back to todays center bell from there....no clue really.

yes....I made small piece in overnight trade with the 99.25 target then had the one loser and then the campaign that started near the 93's....the 85.50 was a bonus campaign and I made money even without that......when averaging in position sizing is EVERYTHING !!!

that is precisely what i am trying to do as well... be a momentum trader when the opportunity presents itself and the rest of the time be a fader..... good trading Big Mike.

Just to add more grist to the mill. Today is the type of day that made me change from a fader to a momentum trader. I try to let the market tell me a story (price action).

Earlier I mentioned the EURO IB low as critical. it was critical because once it was broken to the downside, there was very little push to go above it, price just consolidated sideways around and below the Euro low.

This had me leaning short all the way. When the little burp on the opening didn't hold it was time to hop on short. Targets- Y low and beyond on runners.

Different perspective.

Good luck to all.
