next possible long setup on fri demand area, but will wait for more PA confirmation as this is new day lows, might be buying a bit higher here.

still just waiting PA looks so congested around these prices its going to take a while before a setsup appears on a>= 5min t/f. Til then its patient wait.

Next levels of interest below here are 60; 50-55; 46s.

Just looking at the hourly will this shaded blue range hold? This is painfully slow today.




Sell side levels up @80s.

Buy levels.... well this looks like bear flag range 62-72 on 15min chart. No buy areas in view at the moment til it either breaks lower or retraces higher closer to the 80s level.

Seems like its not just me having issues, loads of prop traders in london got issues. My hourly chart looks ok now but the footprint is def wrong, it keeps showing erroneous prints on bid/offer which i have verified with mate using cqg & they dont reconcile.

Not sure why mkt delta dont have support for at least europes morning - hell of a lot of ppl based in europe using them.

well the best set up today was selling 70-72s in the flag range, the last time it got there there was a great setup to sell 69s, thought about it but rr was obv <10ticks with lod then @ 62.....but obv you are looking for the breakout & it came, not the quickest dump but i think the risk on this trade was small SL @73s.



sell set up looking to sell 61-66 level.
buy setup - if it moves higher from here a decent way, will look to buy 45 level.

Hi all, been unwell throughout the night and unlikely will trade today.

Quick look at chart shows that there were a cpl of setups this morning, selling 48-50 looked quite nice setup. Also selling 62-65 is still nice lvl. Buy lvls I have small at 10-13; 00-03; and strong area @ 157.78-157.85.

Hopefully will be back either later today or tmrw.

g/l.

Rosho

Good morning,

Am feeling much better. I didnt trade yesterday, and will take it slow today though.

Levels of interest:

Sell levels:
158.60 (65s great area yest)
158.75

Buy areas:
158.20
157.80

These are not definitive buy or sells, they can hold & break then flip over to either res/sup, & they may just break first time. I will always be looking for additional PA confirmation to look for setups. I will post charts intraday as PA develops.

Figs today:

Bought 35s as per attached but ended up scratching them, price looked congested & didnt push away quick enough in this instance after the initial spike down. 30s buy in the first 15mins of the day vs prev days PA, but everytime (so it seems) these setups price just pushes through once again, so was cautious.

Waiting for price to extend beyond the 30-50s price range now before thinking of entering anything.

SOLD 42s on LHs, spike into 1min chart supply, built value below this level. rr looks bit tight though - it needs to break 35s & noone seems to want to trade down here either.

All in all v slow/dull. Once i switch brokers i can start jobbing these slow trades & improve my position.

i sold another lot @ 42 after this post, & it did b/o of the 35s support....for about 10 seconds, i really thought it wld at least test the lod. I paid 32s for 1, then watched it tick all the way back up. I sold again @ 41s, got stopped on 2 @ 44 - had my SL in wrong place.. shld have been 1 tick higher (prev higher), & still short one - i suppose its a free trade & i am still in it. I am flat ish for the day inc commissions if i scratch this.

figs out in 20mins.
