Trades that Got away 12-Oct-2006

by Gav Leave a Comment

I have couple of trades that got away today. The market ran away without me. Dummy setups appeared in both 15-min and 30-min charts. So, I think it does not make sense to complain about trading time frame. A setup is a setup. Dummy is still dummy.
