    did some trades , gonna make a break till 14:30 CET..


    here are the trades thus far ..

    Entry 1 /long
    [​IMG]
    First Long Entry , due to the fact that the vol. increased and was
    high , but we got a shortening of the downward thrust at an
    early morning MP aswell as near a sup. , and the fact that
    afterwoulds we came to an halt on the downmove even under
    such activity .. was an indictation for me that there is buing going
    on , and i took a long at the break of a bars high , price drifted
    slowly upwards , but my plan was , to stay in the trade , till the
    lows of the three bars (marked) get broken.. wich eventually it did
    so i was out for small loss..
    -----------------------------------------------

    Entry 2 /long
    [​IMG]
    Second Long Entry , but yet again the high activity didnt made any
    downward progress and i knew something was cooking up..

    this time i waited for a retracement .. wich came in a form of 1
    bar.. and i waited for the SL to break .. wich happened and i was
    long and rode the wave , till the last DL line got broken.. where i
    exited for a small win.. enough to cover the loss of the first entry..
    ------------------------------------------------------

    Entry 3 / Short
    [​IMG]
    a short play , i took an op. to join the longerterm trend , and
    hoped in at a LH , to short , but i was ready to act quick as again
    we had some buying in the background.. and are near a sup.
    level.. this short wave might not be long and will maybe end in a
    HL .

    so i didnt get out at the first SL breaks due to the bigger pic , but
    the break of the bars high , wich happend,, and iam out for a tiny
    profit..

    Aggressive Long Play

    [​IMG]

    when i saw the momentum breakout to the downside of what
    appears to be a hinge , but price made its way back to the hinge
    i was ready to take an aggressive breakoutplay as i anticipated
    some aggressive bulls aswell and some puking bears at the high of
    the hinge after the fakeout to the downside ( barking dogs?)

    as the position got triggerd , and momentum was on my side , i
    knew as i saw that the pace drys out , i will let the price retrace to
    its 50% mark wich is even slightly below my entry , to judge to either
    pull the plug or stay in , if price gets rejected.. but as point (A)
    happened ,the rallie bar towards the actual high wich failed to take
    it out , i changed my plan on the fly and adapted to the markets and
    wasent in to risk more then necessary , therfore i exited as soon as
    the low of a bar at a DL broke .. for a small profit..

    two trades ..



    1st Short
    [​IMG]

    as price traded at a res. i was looking for weakness/ or a
    breakout as the DL broke and we made a LH/ret. , i was taking a
    short , the decline came to an halt arround a earlymorning res and
    i was exiting after the drift as a bars high got taken out
    for a small profit



    2nd short
    [​IMG]

    after a retest of the res. wich yet again formed a LH i took
    a short at the break of LH , and price dropped on good mom.
    as it came towards a prev. hinge level , i was ready to get out as
    soon as the last bars high is taken out wich it did ,for a nice
    profit

    three trades three losses . oh well ,

    [​IMG]



    1 short attempt , trying to play a springboard to the downside off an MP ..


    2 long attempts , one playing a breakout of a small hinge and the other one playing a HL and playing a grind higher
    as sellers are done for the most part at that time
