  1. Interesting charts clown on the 15 min. Sometimes it's easier to see things just taking a step back and looking at a bigger picture.

    Trying another short at 64.

    Target is 55.

    Stop now at b/e - if it going to work it should go down now otherwise i know im wrong and limit my loss. Can always get back in.

    Your right my friend, i think sometimes you can pick some nice R:R entries looking at bigger charts, its just a case of fear that maybe this time it will breakout. Thats what tight stops are for i guess.

    I always start from higher charts and narrow down to the 1min chart at the end of each day so i can pick nice zones for favourable entries.

    For my daytrade account i use the zones as a guide and then use smaller time frames for confirmation.

    My target was 55-56 on this one so exit early not really good trading. Was getting anxious on this one so decided to exit. Problem is that i can't scale and bank the gains so dont really want to give back whole 6 pts on my 1 contract.

    Good day so far - lets try to push the boat out and get a monster day. If i give it back through good trading then i don't mind but if i give it back through bad trading and not sticking to the plan then someone should force me to quit :D

    Net 11 points today so far.

    Well there is the 55 target, that what happens when you don't stick to plan - missed out on potential 3 points which in long run is going to add up.

    Only considering shorts until they can break 60-61. Then may start looking for longs.

    Staying with the side with highest probability. Does that mean you can't make money with longs right now!NO - obviously their is unlimited potential on either side for any player in the market - problem is that for my trading system on days like this unitl major pivots or resistance lines are broken i will try to stick with the flow. (When i say pivots i don't use floor calculated pivots or anything like that - i simply refer to strong zone which price often will re-test multiple times in a day).

    Right now 59-61 is strong zone which may offer difficulty of longs to get through.

    On side-note notice how price is once again being dragged to yesterdays value.

    It might still make it to 61.25, in my previous post i notes 59-61 as pivot zone or resistance zone.

    Saw some weakness at 60 so got in. Very tight stop and nice reward. If it breaks from the Fib 50% then i might take that and re-enter short.
