    I know, and it's getting warm enough for me to work, and I have only three more days.

    I'm done. You guys know what to do.

    11:07 Long still open, DL just fanned, but looks like buyers giving up.
    11:08 falied to notice we are at the top of the TR. Perhaps is better just to close and go someplace else.
    11:09 New DL just poked again, not good.
    10:10 Out.

    See you all tomorrow.

    Today's 0930 to 10:00 down move from open looks so simple after the fact. Even though in real time it was quite a roller coaster experience.

    Especially noticeable is the shrinkage of the scale over time which makes those large moves look innocuous in hindsight.

    This are today´s entries. As advised, I am now looking for reasons to stay in, therefore paying more attention to the 50% levels that to the line breaks. The only exception is when I get an entry in the opposite direction as what occurred at 10:14 and 10:29.

    In retrospect I guess both were valid, the first (10:14) was at S at 05 and the second (10:29) was at the 50% level of the downswing from 9:41. Perhaps the fact that sellers were not able to co below the 50% level of the upswing from 10:07 could have been a reason to stay in the long, that could have been exited after 11 around R at 21. But at the moment the fact that there was such a strong downmove tilted my bias to the short side.

    Maybe the fact that we were still on the TR 05-21 should have prompt me to act in a different way, but that will need more screen time.

    20 points still decent money where I come from. I guess 40 draws got in at 23 :) after buyers failed to break above R. It was a top to bottom TR move. Just short at the top and cover at the bottom, easy as pie (hehehehe). Not for me in RT though :( .

    Db has low tolerance for mediocrity. If you stay with only 20 point gains for too long, you might be demoted.

    When are you gonna start daytrading, you will be working far less and making much more. Besides It is always great to have you in RT.
