I am long from 46.40 avg.

Target R2 53s. Stop 45.50 now - good rr.

you hung onto this during a new HH, potentially risky.

I am short now 47.40 - but too much flip flopping for my liking by myself, despite all my entries being ok. This is prob my last trade of day. 4 losing trades on trot and might need to do some back testing over the weekend!

Stop above the highs, targets low 40s.

If it makes another HH i am stumped.

I had one and added a second and scaled out with a small loss. Now short again.
difficult to be short or long
but looking at the tick and a/d lines most of the tick are below zero line.

Ok cool.

Agree.

Think i should have just been scalping today esp on short side....would have been nicely up with 3pt targets and rr at 1:2. Might need to think about this a little more as an option.
