(11:48 AM) p_8:

(11:56 AM) p_8:
mind u prakso, the exercise in the book is very simple, and tempting to just shove it aside, but like scylinx said, it's surprisingly hard to do when u actually try to do it.

i told tippet before the market opened that at 7:30 EST there was a breakout on all sessions chart that set the tone for today. So after open i thought pullback then higher. I mentioned the 15 minute chart flag and the 50 bar ma on the 5 minute all sessions chart that nq has been using as a guide. BUT all the while i have been hedging because i've been looking for PnF reversals (like the 6 point).
