  2. Taking last 2 off from 84.28 at 86.45, looks a little long in the tooth.

  3. YES!! I have a tendency to only play Ace,9 or worse every 3 times I get it I should just play it all the time if I can get in cheap.

  6. Thanks for that.

    I am planning on adding more filters and increase my confidence when I actually pull the trigger.
    I am looking at 5 min and 1 min chart, I think timeframe is ok.
    typically CL makes few nice moves a day e.g. today 1 nice move from 11:35 onwards.
    if I can only grab 20 ticks of that move I think I should be happy rather than spend entire day making 20 trades and BE or worst lose.
    I am ready to miss few good trends if I can catch some other few good trends.

    cuz few things I have noticed in my style of trading
    1) the more trades I do the more I lose ( or increase my chances to lose ).
    2) the more trades I do , I lose more confidence , there is extreme lack of confidence before I pull the trigger.

    sim

    ok, one more time

    long at .62 via stop

    10 tick stop

    :49 changed stop to SAR at .58

    :49 short at .58 (-4 ticks; -19 rolling)

    stop at .71 (no SAR, don't want to get seasick)

    :58 reversed to long at .62 (I know, I know); -4 ticks; -23 rolling.

    I think we're going to break hard.

    stop at .47

    Damn! I forgot about the Beige book, oh well...

    :06 still not moving stop...

    :17 stop moved to be

    :23 stop trailed to .82 (low of current 5' bar)

    Target is a <i>hard</i> break of the HOD

    :25 stopped out at .82 (+20; rolling -7, about -100 USD with comms)
