[Phil-n-Texas 10]

daily directional filter reading sideways with downside bias... but then there's da gap...

 

i'm sitting on hands until i see another setup...

 

missed the double top just after 9:00 CST...

[Phil-n-Texas 10]

1/2 pt. scalp (short) from post lunch double top.

Good trade given the days -- this week is so sideways since that Monday gap.

 

I trade the TF more than ES and did get chopped up earlier today until I caught a modest short midday. Hoping we get something that breaks this 4 day range tomorrow.
