An index futures trading journal.. and the occasional off-topic blog

Tuesday, July 24, 2007

Went long today at the green arrow when the hammer formed at support. I closed 4 points which should have been 5 thanks to the major slippage on Xpresstrade. I got cocky and went long again when I thought price was bottoming out. It sure bottomed out and then some. I took a 2 point loss on the second trade meaning +2 points for the day.

The second chart illustrates the major support failure for the day. My next trade will be to the short side. I'm looking for the RSI(7) on the 60 minute chart to be showing weakness around the 70.
