First trade of the day Long 6E 3 contracts, target below R +961$


The original target with 1 contract was set below the TL at +480$, the market retraced down, I added two more contracts and set the new Target below the R, at a much lower level. The market inverted in favor of the trade (reversal up) and with a lower target but higher contracts I was able to double the original target.

Redratsal, may I ask what the indicator is on the bottom of your range chart, its a histogram of something it looks like. Also on your VWAP may I ask what your settings are.

Thanks
Hector

It is the GomDeltaMomentum, part of the gomrecorder2 package. The delta values are not cumulated but calculated bar by bar. These are my settings for vwap:

LOL, nice. I was long about 11:30 by your chart time after that support area --- and you short --- and we both made money.

Now it is time for me to sleep. I haven't slept since Friday night. I am not sure how I am even still conscious.



Trade well.

Mike
