For daytrading, I would never drop below the 15 minute chart.

You said before you were looking at shorts only, I assume that is based on daily, but which chart did you use to go short 15?

Upper charts are 60 minute and 240. 60 minute as I have said before rules the day. This is why my trade on Fri did not work. I traded with the wrong bias there when the 60 minute clearly was king :)

Are you making a trade?

I was wondering that myself. I would like to see the actual real time trades. Of course, it is not required to post trades here, but it would be interesting to see the result. :)

Have the rules changed again? :) Are we allowed to post market commentary or not? What if a person makes an observation & posts it, but doesn't necessarily trade it? What's wrong with that?

The rules are that trades are regarded as "no trade" if not posted in real time with a real time stop. If numbers are posted, we may need to assume that the person intended that trade if we have knowledge of what their stop rule is. After all, if I was to come here and say " I think we are going to 1290 " and then 3 weeks later were at 1290, should I be able to say "Wow, rode that one all the way down--taking profit here at 1290" -- I think not. At least not under the standard that I have been setting here in recent months in order to raise the level of journal integrity.

I must also point out that it is not required to post any trades here, but don't expect to receive kudos for vague or after the fact stuff.
