Yay
+47 from two. Phew!
An early long following the morning gap fill, supported by a quadruple bottom, rising TICK and RSI PD on 1 & 5 min charts. Closed this after a messy 3pk ND at significant resistance from yesterday. In fact I reversed my position (usually too nervous or stupid to do this) and covered at trendline / 100 EMA support . Not a morning on which I fancied being short for long. I may not have a $5m delta limit but I respect the traditional Xmas inclinations of those that do! (tks China
The only problem with taking an early lead is it led to excessive caution later. There were two more 3 pk ND setups that I didn't take, but in my defence:
The first one occured as a triple or quadruple top in the middle of an upchannel and I was hoping for a higher high that reched the channel boundary before shorting.
The second was better and I probably should have taken it, but, if you look at the 5 min chart you'll see a 5 wave up pattern. At the moment of decision the 5th wave (or 3rd push up) looked too short compared to the first two pushes up to be the real top. I wanted 525 or so to be sure. As it happened the down TL drawn from 3/12 high restrained any further taurean fervour.
