From the 10 minute all-session charts, we began the day with a distinct if small Rising Wedge Pattern, which dumped nicely into a strong selling impulse for the early going. But I have a fairly precise entry trigger routine for shorting the 1st trend direction, and it didn't show up. The selling left me behind. I was left with counter trend trade entries. Several failed, but were clearly within the Trade Plan, so can't fault that. I did stick with it for a 2nd round of buy signals as the TF hit the 3rd Series Structure limits near the end of the 1st frame. That one hit the payoff nicely, and this time had a runner. I fail to get a runner established too often, but this level was extreme and the signals were strong. All in a all a decent morning. good to be back... seems like writing the book for a month was a refresher course for me.. or maybe I should just take a month off more often....
