20250709 recap


Two good trades, two loosers
1) Scalp long
2) Short after rejecting with target at inside day low

20250721 recap



market grinds higher on ath
had a few scalps
closed the last one early because we often see shake outs in midtime
I have a believe that is " who hangs in Balance gets shaken out"

Seems that yesterdays KLM and todays A were a liquidation that has no follow through
Liquidations strenghtens a market
But tough to trade as there is no pressure in this summertime market
