but you have something that I don't have and that I desperately need. if I have the thing that you have, I will be on the way to success.
I do not trade from 10:30 CST (11:30 NY time) till 12 noon as I have found that to be the lowest volume (delta flatline) and the time when moves are totally unpredictable. If you look at the 1 min during these times it looks just like a barbed wire fence. lots of long wicks in both directions.
I know its kinda after the fact which gets discounted here but my boys played hooky today and we had a movie date - so i had to leave immediately following the trade. Nonetheless, I did short at 7802, 7803 and 7805 - out at 7767. I have noticed an interesting phenomenon in CL with 00's. The first run up to or down to 00's after being away for more than 2 hrs almost always gives you a nice bounce. The second time it appears to be an exercise in stop running and then a nice bounce. After that its anybody's guess. Double zero's have been very profitable for me.
added to short at 77.95. now -3, laddered stops starting at 78.75. Might get out of all 3 if does nothing before 10:30.
