  5. Not seeing much I like right now... may not have any trades tonight... I'll probably have to wait for london to open.

    After a nice 3% day yesterday, I'm just not seeing as much tonight.

    No point in forcing a trade, however. I'll just watch and see if London brings some of my setups to the levels i'm watching...
