I believe that what gives a lot of folks trouble is that they don't wait until the end of a bar to make their entry or exit. Yet when people are back-testing , they are only looking at the end of bars. Very important in my view to allow bar to complete on the time frame you are trading.

For example, in my view, it's probably best when trading the 5 min bar, to go off and do something and come back at 4 min 45 seconds and review. You will make mistakes by analyzing bars any earlier than 15 seconds prior.

We have now taken out yesterday's high. Likely another 14 points or so to go before EOD

Might get a little resistance at 28 but 45 is the real area that could cause a slowdown. Staying long

Interesting how wrong I was there----The stronger resistance was 28 and we blew through 45 like Oklahoma.

A pullback to around 2460 and then a late drive higher is in the cards.--- all the way to 5 PM.

We get through 88 and 2500 will be tested

2500 certainly coincides with the downtrend line. ---But trendlines can be broken.
