Hit my end of day S/T stop at 1868 by the close after teasing 1864 earlier for a gain of 40 points.
Also closed March L/T trade for a gain just shy of 10%.
With the recover off the lows at 1835 and a regain of the 1840 level it dosn't look as though the 1845 stop loss level will be violated again before the close. Back in with a tight stop below todays' low.
Cover short term position
With a move of more than 5 points below 1845 it is pragmatic to close down the short-term S/T long position with a gain of 73 Points. I will hold the L/T position above 1815.
We start March in a great position, and a move above the important 1850 level. No reason to short this. We need to see a close above the grey channel or a weakening of the oscillator. The grind goes on.
Russia / Ukraine have put a negative bid on the opening – lets see if we can hold 1845 by the close. Futures have recovered a bit.
