If Brent leads the way, it has already broken out

One of my areas to improve for 2012 is not to trade counter trade unless some REAL VOLUME shows up taking out resistance. DXY with A up, 6e , ES, TF etc.. with A down along with negative market internals were there all day long to guide a trader.

My last trade of the day was at 12.20 pm short from 99.92 and cover as usual early at 99.62. It was a RISK OFF day.

When " All the stars line up" set up. There is a reason I call Mark Fisher a genius. I could have waited all day to short at ideal resistance zone or let failed A up set up along with DXY and market internals guide me.

CL up 8.25% YTD (lol). CL moves 8% every week. I am happy day trading CL. No swing trading CL for me.
