I don't understand what this means
+5 same as yesterday...

does that mean that you sold +5 above the open Open of RTH = 2070.50)??

Yup and when it didn't make new lows on the 5M, I continued long as it made new highs. +/-5 is an inflection point. Usually will give a 1 point fade scalp, then reading price action guides me after that.

Mike, so you went short at the +5 and when the 5-min bar did not create a new low, you went long?

I can't stick around, I still have to do taxes today but I want to try to understand this +/- 5 pt stuff.

Big Mike, Are you saying that you simply sold when the open plus 5 pts was printed (2075.50), but then with a stop of 1.5 points, you reversed position from short to long with a print of 2077.00, for an attempt for a move to open +10? (open + 10 = 2080.50)

I setup to short @ 75.5, came within 1 tick of stop out. Got my 1 point scalp short. (that's it for that trade) Then I saw there was no lower low being made and calculated there is more upside in this move and got stopped in @ 77.0. No particular target in mind but typically 1.5-2.0 points.

The entry bar did not make a lower, did not expect it to either. The next bar did not make a lower low before making a higher high so I was on it. Had that bar made a lower low, I would not have then gone long. it may have gone long anyway but I can't read it that way.
