The second long @76.98 (around 10:00 am) did not work out for PT 12. SL 16 got hit (filled at 14). I got lucky for my real Long trade PT 8 (just made it)!
Don't have my charts in front of me now but I saw the charts on the morning action.
On 6E it went long about 1+hr after the London open but then 2am hit and the strat closes all positions after trading time ends (I only trade the first 2hrs) so it closed out the position for a 5 tick loss. Good thing as the market roared down after that for what would have been a full stop loss. This prompts me to look into time stops more.
On CL took the first IB and it didn't go far enough. Then came news, and we got an inside bar right in front of news. I though "ah, that would have been a winner" as it shot up after news but, oh well, it was following my rules. But then once it came out of news, and was above the IB from 30mins ago it went long, an unintended trade as I didn't want it to take IB breakouts more than 1 bar after the IB. This time though the gaffe was profitable as it turned out to be a nice winner. It took another short trade in the afternoon for a winner.
I'll post charts later but here's my txns from Mirus/RCG...
This is good VSA setup for shorting, long up bar with high volume followed by a long tail inverse hammer or shooting star, in VSA is a tipical upthrust, with very high volume (sellers absorbed the buyers's volume), followed by a down bar that confirms the short bias.
Sorry for the off topic stuff, but it was too greedy to not eat it .
