MrB, interesting transition from position trader to scalper.

Hate it when I beg for more volatility and get it, but my entries take on too much risk so i have to pass on all these easy winners. Very frustrating.

Yes---I have a wide stop here, but it's actually may not be wide enough. We'll see. I don't typically like markets that move fast in my direction.

exactly, don't mind the big range bars as long as they can back and fill so i can get in. but had slam downs on big risk is not my cup of tea

So far, the back and fill has not failed. We're at 2328
