    Two trades on the Dow. Losing short ( let it come back on me) and a winning long. After that I got a bit too unsure to trade when looking at high and low points etc. I think I confused myself by not sticking to one approach or confusing several. You can probably see missed trades where I could have drawn consolidations and traded them or waited for break outs. Not easy for me in real time.....yet.

    Dow started with a usual whip then settled into what I call pullback boxes ? Not enough candles for a "Range" Volpri ?
    A close above the box ( for example) then trade a price crossing that candle's close. My target is usually quite small, to get a run up like this is Christmas like for me. Price action is more Important for me but the cut down itchi helps with scalps and getting in out at times. Right -you guys can reply and tell me it will end in tears now :)

    Reading the blog as I find it fascinating and full of winning trades. Question: why didn’t you take a short position just after the 9am large bear bar followed by the 9:05 ( I think ) confirmation similar to what you did in the previous posts ?

    Where would you place your stop loss on each of these trades ?
