    Not a different AD..., it all the same PA

    Just another aspect to factor in

    I don't have a bias either way

    Thank You Sir

    As it should be, no line or confluence of lines is ever-infallible.

    Here's a follow up to the last chart I posted yesterday

    Breached the diagonal (actually opened below the TL and never attempted to go back above it) and breached horizontal it was in




    Trading was a lot more work today than what this particular chart reflects - I'll post why next

    Below are the 5 & 1 min charts respectively

    Today was one rangy ass day (most ranges I marked - and yes most of the ones I marked were after the fact)

    I did this only to draw attention to the ranges..., and the subsequent BOs / FBOs

    Fact is..., price made em

    Our job; identify / pick up on these real time - create / implement trade plans accordingly

    or not..., I guess

    ========================

    Today wore my ass out
