Let's round up a few. I think there is more to be learned from this. I have been sketching a format that I am excited about. Thanks for considering it. I'm hoping to start something in January.
1) failure to extend breakout now alerts for a bear failure. A close over 96.34 signals a breakout failure and a turn around.
2) the odds of this market taking yesterdays low in the next 2 trading sessions around 69%.
These are from subscription service i subscribe to by Mark Fisher.
Along with this context, I let OR and volume spikes let me decide as to how to trade. I have no clue, how i will trade without OR and volume spikes. Thus, i start from zero every morning. I try to shake out bias formed in my head from recent price action but it is tough to do.

I drove roughly 400 miles round trip today. On the drive out, I was one the phone for 3 hours. On the drive back, I worked on becoming a better trader. I have been forcing myself to look at things differntly, and it has not always been comfortable. But, tonight's drive gave me the equivalent of a higher set of backtest numbers. My understanding of my own patterns and their efficiency increased.
