5m chart after re-entry. yellow arrow was were my initial trade got stopped out while i was sleeping. i will be trading to the long side for whenever participants show up and try to push higher to either fill gap on daily or my derived long targets noted on prior post of daily chart. got a lot of work to get there and there's no telling if there will be more selling. may get stopped out again before success but that's how i have to work it. ideally price will get above central pivot and hold.
here's another handy gizmo on TOS. it's in the chat rooms section and it's a global news bot thing. gives me a fast "what's happening now" at a glance. very easy to see what's possibly moving a market.
another pic of daily chart with blue box showing gap. another possibility for this gap is that it's a breakaway gap to the downside. just sayin'
moved stop to breakeven plus a few ticks again as price is struggling to stay above pivot. this could go on for awhile.... MA's on intraday charts looking like braided yarn. so i'm willing to get stopped out while the children work it out with the yarn. much better to take a few small losses or breakeven stops than holding on and hoping. as my late dad told me, "hope is not a strategy". of course that's not the only thing he said. like, "hope is a good motivator" etc.
That really sux that you lost your 610ish point profit target by a few ticks. Don't you hate when that happens?
got back in on a hook pattern @ 8914.50. would be nice if it can clear the central pivot and get up over some longer averages before i go to bed so i can get a wide trail going while i sleep. btw, the dynamic targets are now down to the 9405 area on daily chart.
