Ouch, said the short side .
I went long for the breakout , got out, and then watched my would-be profits continue to run forever... left 60 ticks.
What an amazing reversal, came right out of the 120m blue zone.

Was just looking at CL now Gary. Will it normally blow the stops just overhead here before it thinks about going lower?

I am sitting where I want to be profit wise, so not trying too hard right now. I would like to buy 95.00, or 94.75.
I had my finger on the button when it came to 95.09, and missed it.

Did not really "miss" because I never submitted an order. I had my eyes on volume and did not see what I thought I needed to see.

If ES was going anywhere, and/or 6E were not at a triple top decision... But that was a hard spike up

Sometimes the things I should journal do not become apparent until a year later. But I have seen this before. Cannot recall the circumstances though.
