Not a good Day today, slept in. Got to the office and the internet was down, finally got everything up about 9:30 pacific. So I took a look @ the 6E and was not to confident so I simulated the trade. Worked out but the markets were so weak! So next I took a look at the YM and didn't feel to good about that ether, but I am here to trade so I went short too soon, R2 was the trade (lack of patience)...I am watching it break threw POC right now....looks like its headed to VAL low

Good point, I'll remember that. Is this why the YM opened so low?

I am also watching cumulative delta looking for divergence setups like the one I took today. I have found on most of these setups that I am too early most of the time and have a hard time trusting them.

This journal looks promising. I trade in a similar fashion...delta divergence, it is my experience that they could easily outlast your trading account. Therefore I have not found them useful...

price action . It for the most part has been confirming what I see in price action. I aggree its not worth basing any trade off of.
