Well it is in a SPBL trend (small pullback bull trend) as I type. Look Eastwood I gotta go. The garden calleth. If Ringo shows up take care of him for me.

Here are the trades from a 30 minute chart and a 15 minute chart. Do you really think I am placing those little buy and sell triangles manually? 4 trades. Four winners. 2 averaging down. two straight scalps. All long trades. Locking in them profits.... cutting short them winners. averaging down...

Ok last trade gotta hit the garden. Burning daylight outside. Averaged down long on a PB. Do you see why I grab the profits instead of twiddling thumbs? See what happened right after I exited?

I have an extensive detailed journal. I am posting trades as they happen. Have been all morning.

I gotta go work in the garden. May squeeze off another trade before. We will see.

Another cowboy bites the dust. locking in them profits while eating breakfast. Average down long on a PB.

Well now I can't show them before they happen can I? These are live as my platform places the little triangles.

Gotta eat breakfast.

As you can see it is around 22 bars since open but it has broken north of the sideways move and held. So unless we get a deep PB into the range I will not be shorting. It is looking more and more like a SPBL trend from the open. The tactic is to buy PB's and exit swing highs or moves up over and...

While I am waiting on another PB I'll just grab me a quickee 1 point long scalp. Locking in them profits.

Well I will be a monkey's uncle. I missed that PB long opportunity fer typing my previous post.

At this point just waiting for another PB. It is looking more and more like it is going to be a (SPBL small pullback bull trend) from the open. I'm just waiting to start averaging down on PB's towards the 20 EMA. There could be a deep PB so may have to add and add.

At this moment we are 15 bars in from the open. Did I cut my profits short on that second long straight scalp. Yes I did! But see I locked that profit in. Now I just wait for another opportunity to drop another cowboy. LOL

Of course I have gotten it wrong and taken hits but losses are generally easy to get back. Double up and reverse. Muy pronto back in the money. My goal is to go with the market. The money will take care of itself. If I am not in groove or in tune with the market I gotta change. Not the market...

The context is ripe here for long scalps. At this moment it is still a bullish market. Gap up open etc....So odds favor long scalps. If this sideways but bullish PA continues to 20 bars or more then I will trade both sides long and short. If it BO's topside I will scalp buying PB's and exiting...

And another cowboy wishes he had stayed home Eastwood. 2 point long scalp. A bird in the hand is worth 20 in the bush. See lock them profits in while market gives them to you. If it runs still lock em in over and over again as it runs. Compound on PB's. Hurst talks about the matter. But the...

Eastwood another cowboy bites the dust from Doc Holiday's blazing gun. While a trend trader is twiddling his thumbs a scalper is dropping them cowboys. Long averaged down scalp. Context ripe.

Of course there are times averaging down doesn't work. There is a “give up” point on an averaged down trade and that point is when one’s original premise has been proven wrong. But just enduring some adverse excursion does not mean a premise is wrong. Most trades are gonna see some adversity...

Sorry but for an intraday scalper on a 5 min TF cutting winners short and averaging into losing positions (if the contexts supports it) is the correct “modus operandi” IMO but I ain’t telling anyone to do it. A trader has to do whatever floats his boat. I often take many trades over the day and...
