  1. 0923 The hourly is up and the 5 min is up. Just have to watch carefully now.

  2. In retrospect, that was the second most important observation today.

    I am long for a quick trade!

    I would rather be short @ 108.

  4. 0935 Out at 107 18 on half and 107 17 on half.

    I might call it a day. If you think about it, we've spent roughly 2 hours in a range that cycles around 4 - 6 ticks. Yes I know the high to low is higher, but the reality is it has been a 4 - 6 tick range. Very difficult to make money on such a narrow range.

  5. 0943 I closed my eyes and went long a 4 lot at 107 19. Looking for 107 24.

    Today's lackluster volume and range leads me to believe all of the big players went to the beach!

    I am trying to squeeze one more tick out of this and I am DFD.

  7. Just to close out today's posting, I got out at 107 22. I tried for 107 23 but didn't get filled.

    I think that is it. This has been a grind all day.

  8. On the previous post you wrote:

    >>we are short below 107 16 and long above 107 16.>> ...but then you took a long position @ 107 15: why? :confused:

    Maybe the Neural Network is using discretion?

  10. I was simply stating that the hourl NN had a solid line at 107 16 and as long as price stayed below, then I would probably be short, not that I was short at the time. It was a general observation.

    Note that my buy was a solid 30 minutes after the post about the hourly NN. 30 minutes is a long time for me.

    I went long for a number of reasons. I saw WG activity. WG = working group, and I'm just being funny by using that phrase, but somebody is "working" it, if you know what I mean. Whether it is program auto trades, Goldman Sachs, the Fed, I don't really care. I just recently discovered this and I mentioned it a few days ago. This WG stuff I will keep to myself. Other than some hints from people here and there, as well as some publicly available PDF's I discovered the footprint and the calculations on my own.

    My 5 min NN was long. It has a similar S/R structure as the hourly but obviously the S/R's are closer.

    The simple 1 min MACD was showing positive signs.

    We had a new CPSR at 107 13 which I had written previously to keep into account.

    We had an approaching CP which I suspected would result in a spike up.
