Reversal pattern again

5 Min Chart

Trend is down price pulls back up to short into the downmove.  keep a 5-7sl.  And keep shorting this.  extremely easy money yesterday and today.

Friday, October 15, 2010

5min chart..

this is part two of the afternoon NY session, i took some of these trades again just highlight key bounce and support areas to trade off of.  The charts do not lie, these are the exact same areas that appear every single day on the EU to trade off of.     
Here are some of the entries marked by arrows.  I took more trades then this but the arrows give a good idea where my entries where and why.

5 MIN Chart KEY BOUNCE AREAS!!!

there are many opps to take bounce trades.  There are a few that you would take a loss on with a tight 3-5 SL.  but that is part of the business.  If You take these Key bounce trades every single day you will be successful at trading.  Again the key is to keep taking the trades.  Just because you lose one does not mean you are going to the lose the next 8 trades, KEEP TRADING!!!
