  2. Okay, but bear in mind that there are different ways of trading PA. While channels may have some merit, I find that they are a fairly blunt instrument given to frequent false signals and generally require larger stops than I prefer for my own trading.

  3. Out: 20.50....feels good to finally have a win, no matter how small.

  4. There were 2 set-ups today. One was good for 9 points and the other was a loss of 2 points. I was busy today so did not get a chance to trade.

  5. good day overall. I was able to catch the morning rally. I received few PMs and suggetions. One of the suggestion was to not take a trade if the low today is less than the low yesterday. This is a good suggestion. I started looking at support and resistance on the daily and 30 minute chart too.

    3 trades...3 winners.

    Total 12.5 points before commissions.

  8. 2 resting orders,

    BL: 68.25
    S: 66.75

    BL: 66.25
    S: 64.25

    Trading longer time frame.

    Target 91 or exit at close.

    Edit.

    Since the exit of 1 is close to entry of 2, I'll move the stop to 64.75.

  10. Stopped out on the first trade and went long at 66.25.

    2 trades, 1 win (7.75), 1 loss (-1) for a total gain of 6.75 before commissions. Good day because I entered the limit orders and stops and went away from the computers and came back 30 min before close only.
