July 23 2010

Chart with two trades below hat were called early in the morning in quick succession demonstrate the concept of day trader's mind flexibility based on pure chart reading with no directional bias. Long on 24.70 breakout, taking 30 cents profit; short on 25 breakdown, taking 20 cents profit - like breathing in and breathing out. Oh, and nice F long for 1:3 inbetween those two 


Nice day overall with 100% winning trades.
