Got into trouble early, my favorite pattern saved the day!

We’re waiting for Non Farm Payrolls to be released at 830am est today

– We have the crude oil trading sideways at the highs

– We know the crude oil has a strong bullish sentiment this morning, so buying pullbacks

– We have gold trading sideways off the highs, and very sloppy

– We want to buy on gold if price drops and sell the highs if price rises.

830am est

– The dollar is rising after the NFP news

– Lets look to sell with the rising DX

– Also keep an eye out for overhead dollar resistance, which will reverse the DX direction, so we will then look LONG

900am est

– We had a very sloppy reaction to NFP news @ 830am

– We tried to buy the rising crude oil prices, but my stop was simply too tight to hold onto this sloppy market

– The gold dropped off the news, all the way down to the Big Money Trigger Line

– We knew the BMT would be better served as a final target, not the entry, and we should have used our own advice

– The BMT levels were choppy and resulted in 3 scratch trades as we tried to get control of it

915am est

– We took the wave short on the gold 21range and we have a final target at 1417.5

– Stop has been trailed to lock in profit above the 22.5

– Stopped out of the gold trade for 45 ticks of profit

– Wait for new lows

1000am est

– We finished trading gold all the way down with 2 massive winners on the 21r

– Now we see the previous LOD from Wednesday as the next buying opportunity.

– As price drops im looking to buy at support.

1030am est

– We hit our Fast Track goal @ 955am with the 2step long off support (morning prep defined)

– Now we notice the personality is changing

– We expected to see speed slow down..now it def is.

– Beware, end of morning is here
