I get the same when US markets open, maybe its cos we are in the UK and we are waiting in anticipation all day lol!

..good point, possibly.

Its odd cos have been getting into office at 9 and prepping for US markets and doing other stuff, but not getting the urge to trade Europe mornings. Maybe cos my brain doesnt start functioning til about midday.

I'll take your advice though on trading a sim ladder next to my live ladder for when I'll start to scale in and out on a 2/3L. Starting to see where those areas are.

...gd example now with my trade.....kicking myself i didnt put 3 lots on, had tight stop anyway, now if i want to scalp i have the danger of price never pulling back and going to targets with 1/3 of my full clip size. I took one off then realised -uh oh and put it back on at 1t worse price.

I got out here 2212.25 for ~7.5pts, scalped poorly earlier and down 1pt on that so 6.50 pts up today.

Reason for exit - big tick div which i should just ignore as when was fading yest there was loads of tick div on the highs and didnt mean too much! And no tick div now! This is reasonable level though with ETH highs, and not far off ATH, and if it does stay range day waiting for europe tmrw then its not bad level. Once again - 3 lots would have been good, then wld be letting one to run.

Looking to reload on a pull back.

this looks nice level - y_close, vwap, OR high, and nice earlier resistance. Looks too obvious though!

bang got in at 11s with 2 lot (should have done 3 lot....my stop was .75pts just below the low it had made).....



Am flat out @ 13.25s, was bit hasty going long on pullback and took 1 pt loss.....but 2 x 2 lot trades, very stress free, hit bottom of my target levels:



Happy with this for now, still on look out for set ups, but will be ultra careful re fading these highs though.
