Happy New Year

I arrived back in Paris today... early in the morning. I was greeted with a light dusting of snow which I found strange after being in the warm sunshine of South Florida for the past two weeks.

Sorry for not posting much but I was having an excellent trip. Friends, family, presents and alcohol - love it.

Couldn't sleep a wink on the plane and crashed after an hour back in my apartment. Woke up right after the market opened, got my scanner running and waited. To be honest, I really wasn't in the mood to trade and after looking at the low volume my interest further waned. Blah, blah, blah... I didn't trade today. However, in between picking through bags and checking the charts, I missed this nice setup in the ES e-mini futures.

I love how price breaks through yesterday's high, then falls back down to the PDH and prints a strong, narrow range candle. The rest is history.

thanks anon - I'll let you know the next time. It's nice to hear there were good setups out in late December. Further proof that trading can happen at any time.

tl: thanks. Since the entry was very narrow I would've been able to pick up a few contracts. The fib. ext. would've been a good area to consider scaling out. After that, and considering all the fib. levels price would have to work through... I would have considered R3 another solid exit point.
