  3. peterfigliozzi,

    How did you come up with a target of 26.?
    Was it a based on a S/R line? or ?
    thanks, and nice job.

  4. stop to 32.5. Should be fine if it turns out to be a trend down day. another possibility is a retest of 1535. if it fails again I will reshort it. If it breaks thru I will look to go long on a bounce at or near 1535.

    Otherwise i'll be holding this 2nd half short all day. I will close and go long however for a really good signal, which would be a 2nd failure to move lower with a higher low on the ticks and a/d line, over 15-30 min time period.

  5. I just looked at Friday, there was resistance in the 24-26 area, figured that was a reasonable target.

    This second half is definitely a home run target. Seems like a good idea in situations like this, in early on what could be a trend day.

    Still I feel backwards, I should be biggest on the home runs, not half size. So many things to work on.

  7. Sticking to the stated plan for possible further entries today
    • retest of 1535: short on failure; or long on breakthru then pullback to support
    • resistance with diverging ticks and a/d : long

  8. note to self
    not a bad long entry here
    but not as strong as i'm looking for to go long today

  9. times like this I have learned to focus on execution:

    - no open orders
    - make sure i'm flat
    - make sure i'm ready to get in on the pre-determined scenarios

    i'n the past i'd TA myself into some kind of trade
