The overnight continuation of the rally stalled and consolidated just below the new high @ 2436.
The 2,000 tick did a double test then gave us a sell signal. Placed an order to sell 1 @ 2434.50, which is just above the open of the next bar.
Order was filled. Target @ 2433.50.
The 2,000 tick wiggled around a bit, tried to rally then declined off the 3rd test of resistance into another sell signal with an entry point of 2434.00.
Lowered the target to 2433.00 based on this entry point.
Target hit, we are flat with $70 profit.
Missed a long trade on the rally back to the high.
I was working on some Bond trading research.
We will now wait for the Open Trade to set up.
Market is getting active in the pre-open.
