Low RR trade going long here though stop below 59s, target HH.

But dont want to be sticking a limit order in to find out.

no idea why didnt take it, went long on the pullback but was too early and took a 1.75pt loss....the rr was awful, i didnt think i wld get a better price so waas hasty.....then it pushed down to 60s. hmm.

PA is shouting - up. No LLs, R1 in the sights.

PA is shouting again - UP, with 0 pullback. At least a tag of R1?

Will wait for a push either way before considering shorting. Decent vols up here though.

Tick really is useless at present.

i am short again (tried twice now), and will look for a turnaround there, yes. see how PA looks when get down, still dont trust some of these levels - price seems to pummel through them.

still like the 56-58 area - prev PA resistance on ETH also.

did you get on? bit cheeky bounce prior to vwap - everyone else was short as well by the looks and had same idea.

i stuck my limit to close in and was away from desk, thankfully it made it to it....just, went 1 tick lower.

not sure now, maybe look to scalp sell at 65s if everything else looks good.

Scalping with 1 lot has prob cost me more today, as have taken it off bit early, then added back bit early and got stopped out 3 times doing this during the day, so in the end wiping out my initial correct & winning trades profit.

Will review properly and look to scalp 2 lots tmrw. Also some of my hard stops have been too tight.

I bought the pullback when the high was 64.25, got in when the RTH VPOC moved up to 61 for a push to R1, i took it off at 67 in the end because 66.50 a HVN yesterday.

But i missed this latest pullback to VPOC / front run of RTH VWAP, to be honest its done a lot of range now (~20 points), i am hoping to get 58's (ETH VWAP, Globex hi etc).

lets see if i have missed the boat or not...
