And was right to in retrospect. Obey your fearful gut instincts imho.

Didn't even bother yesterday - Eurex was thinner than Kate Moss on crack, so decided to give it a miss.

No shocks there then...
Asia down, Europe mixed (but fairly flat).
We ended up going down to 1431.25. To be honest, I think we should move down a bit more before lifting up again.
Mechanical Levels
YL - 1435.25, YH - 1454.50, YC - 1436, ONL - 1431.25, ONH - 1437.50
Wholesale IVs @ 10.00am might cause a slow start
Longs - 1431.25, 1425.50, 1420, 1418.25, 1414.25, 1412.50
Shorts 1454.50,1446.75, 1437.75, 1436
Seems to go down a lot easier than it moves up doesn't it?

Trade 1 - didn't geta picture. Shorted 1435.25 @ 9:30:38.
Got T1 - 9:39:02 - 1434.25
Got T2 - 9:56:16 - 1432.5
B/E T3
This is the second trade:
Trade 2 – faded yesterdays low as we came back up to it
10:04:06 - short 1435.25
T1 - 10:06:40 - 1433.75
exited for a +1 tick on the rest
Going to give this a break for 30 mins - was short biased, but this range is dismal and I feel I'm in danger of getting chopped around.

Trade 3 - Missed the overnight high helping my 10 year old with his homework....
[Rant]
WTF is it with all this fking homework. Yesterday 2 hours making a shield, then Thai homework, then maths homework. At that point I called time out. Today - took him out with his sister to the park & then we got back and he's got 20 words to learn and write sentences (mnemonic, government, rendezvous amongst the words). He also had to design the text for an Aztec brochure.
10pm I went down to drag his to bed - he was visibly scared to not finish his homework. Apparently - he'd get a detention if it's not in tomorrow - 10 friggin years old.
So - I had to write a letter to teacher telling her I'd sent him to bed, that no detention should be given and to call me if she thinks detention is appropriate. I also told my son to call me if he does get a detention.
Honestly - it's a bit harsh IMO.
[/Rant]
Not a great place to short but got 4 points potential downside to the opposite end of the range.
Short @ 10:54:40
Target 1 - 11:18:10
Waiting on T2 & T3 - not going to log it, going to leave stop @ B/E and go to bed.

ok then - so it decided to shoot down before I really got myself sorted for bed...
BTW - I'm only posting this log from Ninja 'cause I've been posting trades after they get going as opposed to posting charts just after placing the trade. Less finger fudging this way BUT also more easily faked.

Asia mixed, Europe up slightly
volume was above average earlier on today but has tapered off now..
Thinking we'll be on our way up to 1460 soon enough but there's still a few decent downside targets we might visit first.
1414.50 is the low of 4 weeks ago and the low of this range. That one's a bit of a line in the sand for me. To stay up, we need to stay above 1424.
