thx trvl.
as of now I'm looking at 1700 ES, 101 usdjpy - soon. these algos like to hit trendlines and heck these are strong ones. I will be getting short at that point in size. for now, I'm sitting on my hands.
edit: took off my usdjpy short at 10046 for just a few pips in preparation.
time will tell but I'm looking for this to happen soon - opex?
