    Disclaimer: The following video is on a SIM account and is not a replay but live on a SIM. However, the live SIM action was recorded again at a faster speed than the original speed. All of these videos on this YouTube channel including this video are for entertainment and information purpose only that show how I like to scalp. Actual results can be different than real or even than the SIM results shown here so I am not advising anyone to use these techniques. You may not get the same results as shown in all these videos and you can even lose all your money - SIM money or real money, plus more.

    Not sure I will trade Day 11 today of the 12 day series. I have some other pressing issues to attend to with the house and I also don't feel too well today. Went to a birthday Tuesday and ate too many sweets. If I get to feeling better, I may make a few trades later. The goal for DAY 11 is 217 points or $432.28

    In today's Day 11 video that started with a gap down open followed by an uptrend, I talked about bear channels being bull flags or PBs with continuation as the normally expected PA after the likely BO north of the channel. Here we see that the BO of the bear channel was indeed north.

    However, sometimes that will not happen and when the unexpected happens (i.e. a successful BO south of the bear channel) then I look to get in on a MM (measured move) down.

    I did not capture all the points of my goal for day 12 buy I came close. Over the weekend I will try to make a quick summary of the 12-day exercise showing some of the technique I use in scalping. Below is the video for day 12. You will hear some background noise in the video. My wife was noisy in the kitchen.

    Summary of the 12-day exercise will be posted Monday morning some time. I am thinking of retiring this journal on ET and ending Volpri's participation on ET. I thank all of you for the time you took to read my posts, watch my videos and ask questions. I hope in some way, even if only in a small way, you gleaned something useful.
