Working for me as well... taking proift 2 here at 1511 jumping the gun

stop still at breakeven and holding 3rd unit for 1518

profit 3 hit and filled flipped short at 1518 I suggest you take profits on longs and go short with me or wait for 1520

I noticed that 3 day in a row you are taking a short what to me looks like a divergence in histogram on 2 min chart, not that you've been wrong, is that what you are looking at or not?

never use a histogram in my intraday trading... but something I occasionaly take a look at on a higher time frame.

OK, it's just a coincidence in that case. You might want to have a look last 2 days when you went short and earlier on today.

beautiful.. profit1 hit and filled at 1515.25

Profit 2 at 1512.75

profit 3 at 1511.50 (if it can get down there most likely trail my stop in case it really starts running)

EDIT: moving profit 2 up to 1514.25

Quote from vertigo3:

JimmyJam,
is that a standard RSI you have on that chart you posted. I run Trade Station, and my 14 bar RSI readings on a 2 minute chart do not coincide.

It's a standard RSI:
Period = 14
Signal = 1
***
It's just a tool that's useful for triggering a trade, the important thing is knowing what direction you want to trade in.

... speaking of which those Longs have continued to deliver for me and then some.

Good trading,

JJ
