Back from Hiatus...

Wow...it's been a while since I posted anything regarding trading. I've got a new strategy(for me anyway) that's quite simple and so far, has been quite successful.

Cable to the Rescue...

During an incredibly slow Asian session I was fortunate enough to find this little nugget. A nice short entry off a lower high at the weekly high. Inside bar on the 5m chart was my signal. Price sat there not moving for nearly three minutes then dropped very quickly.
