    Here are a couple of trades I took this morning capturing 7.25 points between 9:00 a.m. and 9:35 a.m.

    It is all I got time for today. It just keeps raining and I got a problem with Motor Home A/C roof top cover so I got run and see what to do about this.

    Both these trades were shorts taken on 1m TF. I am also posting what they looked like on 5m TF They were taken on the TR as shown on the 1m as it was not 20 bars sideways yet on the 5m. It did take about 7 bars before price went back down into the 1m TR vs within 5 bars. Occasionally that happens.

    The drawn in TR is exactly the same on both TFs.

    At this point 9:49 a.m. price appears to be evolving into a SPBL (Small PB bull Trend) on the 5m TF (bulls keeping price above the EMA. And RTHs opened gap up and gaps between the low of all the bars and the EMA. If it continues this trajectory, I would be buying PBs and exiting on any move north that renders me 1 to 3 points. Over and over again. I just have no time to trade any more today.

    But I would be watching between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. as we could see a reversal enough to push south through the EMA. That would not necessarily negate the SPBL trend but it could if strong enough. Just a caveat. And then don't forget about the tendency to sometimes see a reversal between 1 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.

    Gott go. Have a good day trading.

    If all goes well and God is willing we finally leave at 6:00 a.m tomorrow morning for OK in the motorhome to see my granddaughter graduate from basic training at FT Sill. After that she goes to San Antonio for medical training. She is in for 6 years as a combat medic. As long as they don’t need her in war she will be in college.

    The other day a big guy another trainee accidentally kicked her in the jaw with his boots as he was swinging around. The blow dislocated her jaw, gave her a concussion, and she bit all the way through her tongue. They took her to ER and fixed her up as best as they could cause she had a 37 mile walk to go on day and night over 3 days. If she couldn’t make it she can’t graduate. We have not heard yet if she made it as the military allows no communication except on Sundays for like 30 minutes. Perhaps we will hear something tonight from her Dad. But nevertheless we are ready to leave early in the morning.

    Won’t be able to do any trading for a few days.

    My friend, it is my sincerest hope that your granddaughter was able to complete her walk and therefore graduate. Also I wish her a speedy recovery.

    We'll miss your content while you are away and look forward to your return.

    Have a safe trip.

  6. Aloha volpri,
    I'm really sorry to hear that. Hopefully she's able to do the walk, and if she can, it'll solidify her status as a badass.

    Actually guys I heard she did successfully make the 37 mile jog toting an 80 pound pack. So she graduates october 4th then on to San Antonio for medical training. I THOUGHT IT WAS A WALK BUT SHE SAID NO WALKING.

    Drill sergeant said they were going to play kill the guy who kicked her and that she and another soldier would have to drag the big guy to safety since she is a combat medic. Looks like to me two girls get punished LOL and the knucklehead that kicked her gets off scott free! LOL. That is the military for you!

    We are in Little Rock Arkansas. Hope to make it to FT Sill in OK tomorrow.
