    AMT: Would you comment on your position management approach a little more precisely that you already have earlier on the thread?. Thanks again.

  4. Nice AMT,

    Divergence on intraday CD at highs as well. PA showed a failed high.

    Great Short.

    OK. Is this more or less what you do?.

    You clear your "bad inventory" (sold at the lower rotation in this case) as soon as you can at small profit or BE, and keep the "good inventory" (the one sold at the highest rotation in this case) for an extended exit strategy?.

    What % of your max size did you execute on the earliest short entry?.

    Thanks

  8. I cycle positions in and out as I build up a bigger sized trade while working what I see as high probability areas/zones to take advantage of. I enter new entries at each sign of buying exhaustion on intrabar pulses into the move. I would do the same thing if I was buying a zone with just the opposite delta readings intrabar.

  9. Correct......usually 1/6th of max size per level, for the very first price rotations I enter as price moves into a zone I am willing to trade.

    You are holding thru the weekend?. Today is friday.

    Thanks for your position management approach. I think it is mostly clear now.
