Markets hammering out bottoms since the session open...

The second day of massive moves down on extreme volume
08/20/2015 Thursday...no trades
Large volume down breaking out of newly drawn channels Some days it's hard to get started :
Did not pull the trigger on this one...
Was way too late for any chance of an entry...
Missed by a tick...
Missed again

Running higher than the 'normal' 10 ticks...

08/17/2015 Monday...4/2/0...+32 or +$284
Started out taking trades without great signals - even took a couple shorts!... 

Good signals began to print after lunch

08/14/2015 Friday...4/2/0...+40 or +$366


Taking a WAG that price would pull back before continuing up...it did but was off by 4 ticks and I got stopped...
Not a particularly good way to trade (that's why it's called a WAG)

Shortly after the WAG above, good signals printed which makes for better trade entry rational.
You've got to be disciplined and pay attention to take home the bacon...
