@greenr - jumping gun is easy to do at the open, it can be the best time to enter sometimes. I was waiting for just one bear bar to print on any of my lower timeframe charts to get more confident and once that wasn't happening I decided to wait.
Now the problem I struggle with in these situations is the desire to enter because the low volatility always makes one anticipate a breakout. Its tempting to create narratives that tell one whether or not the breakout will happen now or later and whether it will be up or down but in my (limited) experience I find that these exercises bring one no closer to knowing either of those two outcomes (when and which way). So I am reluctantly sitting on my hands and waiting for a strong move.....

Probably the worst open I've seen in a while. Been trying to sell this down but its been just sitting up there. Tough trade against an upward sloping VWAP. Delta is falling so maybe we get a test further into yesterday's balance. USD has been whipsawing today which is making things difficult to measure.
