    out at 1328.25. Profit, including commissions $201.

    I think it will go to 1330.25 before you see a sizable pullback. Back to the my problems, I couldn't just sit and let the trad work out.

    Why I took the trade?: Market looked strong with strong reversal in 5 and 15 minutes. I went in 15.75 so that my stop will be at 14.25 two bars lower on 5 minutes. If the trend is really strong there will not be any two bars breaks soon. Let's wait for the next pullback.

    I should not be buying any pullbacks, unless there is a reversal in 2 minutes. Then I'll buy the first pullback to the 2 minutes pivot.
    If I buy the pullback to 1326.25 it will be for one point profit a scalp.
