Short 91 TP 79 SL97, its really struggling to retrace today so not holding much hope, may be getting out early.

move SL to 94s; TP @ 80 & 79.

Hey Rosho,
You're spot on with your reversal levels-mind if I ask how you calculate them? I have a feeling it will be to do with profiles-doh!

i dont use profiles - the charts i post is all i use, I will look at higher t/fs eg M15, hourly & daily for context reminder.

like you i havent found profiles that easy - have looked at TPOs & VPs. Prefer keeping it simple at the moment, & i dont like to have bias.

The short 91s started off well, with gd move away & 81s trading, not so now its retraced back to 89s, if they fail to trade 91s again i wld consider averaging in.

moved SL to 92s, the LH is pleasing. May struggle to push through 85s.

Paid 79/80. +23 ticks.

quite painful, had to do some reading so didnt talk myself out of it.

I have a feeling this will pop down to 68s but i needed to bank the money. might look to sell 85s.

someone in the room mentioned looks like someone is spreading against the bobl in size here.

Here's why they're dropping (I think)

Ah ok. The perils of too much info/using it to fit a trading idea!
