[11:58:01] <Tigerman______> in contrast volatility strong enought to exploit these area breakout
[11:59:15] <wrbtrader> On trading days like today...I look for "most recent reaction highs/lows" as s/r areas for trading the breakdowns or breakouts

[12:02:14] <Tigerman______> I think to many newbee and trading forum talk about entry as black and white
[12:02:50] <Tigerman______> in contrast ant entry should be viewed in actual price action
