I didn't trade today. Wasn't quite ready plus my wife was in a car accident so spent the whole day dealing with insurance companies (ugh). Anyhow, I did go back and review the 6B chart. Not a very...

Been A Long Time

So it's been a long time since I updated this journal, reason being I haven't been trading fractals on the 6B as of late. There are two reasons for this (1) it's difficult as the best hours for 6B...

Got one more 1-2-3 setup, good for 20 ticks. Some might be wondering why I'm not trying to let these run. My plan most of the time (remember there are no set in stone rules) is to take 20 ticks or...

Quick 1-2-3

Snagged 23 ticks on a quick 1-2-3 scalp. Missed quite a few setups this morning. Was a little late and still working on the confidence factor.
