How 'bout now?

How 'bout now, can I trade it now...no how 'bout now...how bout now...and now?

So what do you do when it is near either a break out in a short term uptrend or resistance in longer term trend. GO WITH THE LONGER TERM TRADE!!!

I like the risk level now. It is about where it was yesterday as it is testing this 60 pip range going back and forth. A short position near 2.5880 with a stop up about 2.6100 seems like huge risk. Remember that the risk is 220 pips at about a 80 cents per pip or $176 per mini contract and realistically if I see a solid move beyond 2.5900, I will watch for an early exit. There is a solid resistance near 2.60 as well. These are all key levels to moderate risk for the potential target. If you are only risking the move to 2.60 that is about $100. Potential target...2.5560, 320 pips, $256. 2.5:1 risk to reward.
