I see, thanks, are your trades automated as a 5am wait for an entry must be painful

Thanks, I am and my charts are central european time, if you are from UK that means one hour ahead of your time zone.

Have always a look to the bigger picture for the targets; with ref to my last trade, the up leg was interrupted by the 60 min down TL

Fat Tails has developed a weekly vwap with standard deviations . I think it might be me an interesting tool especially for the US section where the volatility is stronger if compared to the asian or european ones. As the method is based on pullbacks I think this indicator might help identifying bigger levels by correlating different sections in relation to the vwap. I don't know if the weekly vwap is an industry standard where big players look at, nevertheless I intend to add it to my studies and see how it might impact on my trades. I invite you to follow his next webinar.

I know there is a specific section on futures.io (formerly BMT) about books , I would like to suggest one that fits pretty well to this method's philosophy: The art of contrarian trading by Carl Futia

Amazon.com: The Art of Contrarian Trading: How to Profit from Crowd Behavior in the Financial Markets (Wiley Trading) (9780470325070): Carl Futia: Books

You can search on the web Mr Futia holds some blogs as well.

I also would like to thank those 400 members that spent and hopefully will continue spending their precious time reading about the Italian Job. The thread started as a teaching contest and turned into a trading journal as well. I don't know its effect on those who are following it; although it's time consuming for myself, it's been and it is a good tracking tool for my trading.
