9:25am... GC -8 Weak Red 50MA. Flashed Green at entry. No followthru
9:45am... CL +5 Naked full candle above Green 15/50MA's
10:13am... CL -10 Power below Red 15/50MA's. Weak 50MA!!!
10:21am... GC +5 ABC below Red 15/50MA's. Took it due to strong slope of 15MA...
10:39am... NG +5 2LB below Red 15/50MA's

Mike,

I have followed your trading journal and am impressed with your commitment to the process. You seemed to do very well and the few times you varied from your plan it stung.

I missed whether or not you were successful in completing your goals with the combine but did see that you are in another combine.

Congrats and will continue to follow your impressive journal.

Al

As stated on chart, felt there was enough room to profit and strong 15MA slope to take trade
while it was retesting session low...
