my good run is continuing nicely - wow, this is shocking. 1 lot now, til i get one swing winner.
gap fill ?
no idea.
scale here at RTH vwap / day R2, holding rest for new highs, stop below RTH low.trend day and therefore a shallow pullback likely.
Can you help answer these questions

Im long with avg 60.75, going to
scale here at
RTH vwap / day R2, holding rest for new highs, stop below RTH low.
I took a loss on the first long too, thought it would be a
trend day and therefore a shallow
pullback likely.
range bottom.

Tick readings make very little sense these past few days, imo. I have seen so many false divergences , much more than normal (over last few mths). HTF , but there still appears to be awful lot of spoofing - which i never noticed only a cpl of weeks ago. Wonder if this is distorting tick.

Looked like volume came back in today - assume
HTF , but there still appears to be awful lot of spoofing - which i never noticed only a cpl of weeks ago. Wonder if this is distorting tick.

Interesting that you had Bund doing an
A_Down , I didn't have that, only an
A_Up .
Although I was expecting A_Down given the pre-cash action.

You still holding your swing? Looks like Dow will tag 20k either on the close or tomorrow.
scalping . vwap ? Once it failed to break lods was odds on to test highs? scalp unless its obvious swing. Will write up some rules later. NexusFi mobile app

I got stopped out and spent rest of day
scalping .
Did you get out at
vwap ? Once it failed to break lods was odds on to test highs?
Over next few days will just
scalp unless its obvious swing. Will write up some rules later.
