Well I could have play it with staying in but when I try that I regret because I miss scalping profits and if it came back I'm prone to average down and bring trouble. So I decided to stay with scalping today.
I didn't participate in the uptrend but than I noticed that 615 level could provide resistance. Such levels based on longer term charts at least bring in some reaction if not reversal. Market was 15 pips down from that level, so I said let's catch it up also with intension of shorting at 615. From that came next set of trades but I didn't play it according to plan completely. I run from long trade too soon and again shorted before the target. I waited and when market did show that it's not going more up strongly I added new short. I wanted to keep it till 600 but I got out and that was good decision in the end.
When I look 5 min chart it all look stupid, but again why mess up with good scalping just because it look stupid in retrospect.
+ 13 full size pips

Good for you!! I had an AMAZING day today, racked in 33 pips. The Fed chairman had a speech and the market just plummeted. I was long at first but got stopped out and I reversed my position. I took profit after that but am beating myself over the head for what I left on the table... Out of a 120+ pip move I only netted 33 pips... AGHHH!!!
I understand you but try and put things in perspective. You are scalper satisfied with 10 pips per day. You just got gift of three day's worth of gain for prompt reaction. You didn't get stubborn and stay long. You could average down and you know how that things end up. There are 100 pips moves all over, we can't catch them scalping but we don't risk 50 pips on our position either. You had great day and gain, be proud and satisfied.
yeah good point! thanks!
