    ok so you dont bother looking at the 2 min chart unless its going to confirm the 5 min?

    that makes sense; so instead of looking for 2 min chart breakouts which often are just fakeouts more then not.
    I should look for 5 min chart breakouts.

    And if I wanted to guess on the breakout I should look for a pullback first and enter at some support ... yes?

    so basically what I have here is on one of my trades I entered at the end of the place I marked #1 10484; I ended up selling at 10485 because of what I saw there on the 5 min ie things didnt look so positive now.

    just practicing :)

  5. Will cover second half at close if not stopped out. Could be nice trade. Market looks pretty weak here.

  8. Stopped out second half:

    -10

    +5 for full trade; pretty lame but i'll take it;

    I did make a few other nice trades for about 25 points but did not have time to post real time.

    One was shorting the open

  9. +302 pts today, on 34 RTs. I was scalping today, and holding onto losers at other times. :D

    Thats nothing to be proud of since there was a lot of movement up, down and back up etc.

    Dang Volente, I actually beat your best pts day on the first post. I think today was my best day in terms of total points. But, not my best profitable day.
