#6-8


6-got yellow and shorted, i thought this would break down further that is why i did not close it. started going back up and i got out +3
7-same exact setup, i had it in my head this was going to test the 50 area -12
8-soon as i exited i got yellow and shorted and this went beyond my trading time but i thought london would close and trades would close their positions, take profits etc, so i held it until i got yellow +18
No one likes taking these big loses and it seems crazy to hold it that much against you but I was +++ for the day and the EU had moved up 250 pips since mid asia so it felt the 2450 area was right near the top of this big move up.

Not the smartest trading today, too much thinking and not enough reacting and taking profits. But a very solid asian and NY session for me.

NY #1-5


Took a bunch of trades in Asia and then in early NY after the news. But here are some in the later part of the session.
1-shorted when the price stretched i had been getting yellow, I held it expecting a push down a little futher, but it went higher -11
2- shorted again on this push up, went against me but i held exite +2 and of course it came down much more RRRRRRR.
3-stalled bought at 53 +4
4-price stretche down fast got red bought real fast and exited +5
5-bought again and should have held this trade +3

S&R Levels and How Important they are!!


You can easily see on this 15min chart where price has found the S&R areas to either trade too or trade off of as in bounce trades. There is no magic here. Just read the charts and follow the money flow. We all know that price action is the best indicator because it does not lag but these levels become self fulfilling numbers because of the pysche of the traders. Do you really believe the very big players in this market are trading completely naked with no indicators or S&R areas etc. It is reckless to think and trade otherwise. Just look at the charts and how price loves to find its way to and from these key areas of S&R. But do not take my word for it, watch this everyday for a week and you will see for yourself.
