Here is my day. I was able to see each major turn during the day and made some money on each, but gave it all back at the end of the day. I had numbers data feed stalls during the day from MB Trading and then several times bad data came through screwing up my Gaussians.
I currently lack the skill to overcome those data problems when I have a trade active.
This is not to say that my loss is MB's fault, just to say that it contributed to an very uneasy feeling.

The rest of my the time I was trying to get back on the right side of the market, running down the ol rabbit hole.

Still have much work to do.

good trading to everyone.

I'm having difficulty using the STR/SQU tool. It does not seem to be working during points of change, and is consistantly either all black or all red throughout the day. The formula I'm using is ((YM - INDU) - Fair Value). Can someone show me how their STR/SQU looks? Or help me understand why it behaves in this way?

PM me and I'll help you sort it out. Sounds like you don't have it set up right.
 
This is how I looked at the 1040 bar's context:

Had difficulty with the outside bar at 10:40. The relatively low (although slightly increasing red volume) indicated to me that the down move wasn't very strong. The outside bar at 10:40 on increasing black volume seemed like a decent reversal signal but that was not to be. Other than increasing red volume in the following bar(s) was there another indication that the OB wasn't a reversal signal? Or was I to lenient with my interpretation of the red volume preceding it?
