The 6 range finally caught up to being "sell ready", but I am going to sit on this 1 remaining and not add. This consolidation could break either way.

No, just decided to quit for the day. We broke the mid point of the channel and may find support. This setup could trap new shorts headed into the close. Tomorrow may be a better opportunity.

Trading day recap

Trade #1: +20 on 1st, +39 on 2nd = +59

Trade #2: -18 x 2 = -36

Trade #3: +34 1st +50 2nd = +84


Net 107 ticks
