Did a quick 10 - 11 tick scalp long, made profit. I am having problems holding longer. I will not be trading on Friday. I guess fear of losing the profit or trade turning into a loss is affecting me. Also, I have to say my CL charts are still pretty messed up using Ninja Trader with Zen Fire with Mirus Live unless we really are getting strange 70 tick spike up and spike down on CL right after I wake up and want to trade it.
For example, if you check the CL futures expiring in November, did it just spike up from 74.60 to 74.88 around 10:45 am PST or 12:45 pm EST on your charts? Did I miss going long and getting a 50 tick move since I did not turn on my computer quicker? It seems the last few days have been seeing this. Been scared I would have a position in the wrong direction and we get a spike.
What's also strange on TV, the price of oil is around 74.60 so my charts seem to have no basis to what TV shows, however, I still got a winning trade on this scalp on strange prices.
