[14:43] {strider} Are your overnights usu. backed up by news?
[14:43] {Threei} not necessary
[14:44] {Threei} but there is no setup on daily either, just a long green candle
[14:44] {Threei} and volume spike
[14:44] {Threei} can be euphoria just as well
[14:44] {strider} True. and strung out on the 3rd day of climb.

[15:04] {larisa} yes, but i doubt it will break
[15:05] {Threei} that's not a concern really... no break, no trade
[15:06] {larisa} why, it can be a short off 53 if no trend break :)
