Oh, before I go - AU banged in a never-in-any-doubt short and is still going strong.

As BO posted, GU hit tp as well, though that's pushing into some resistance at the moment.

F40 took the long route and tp bagged.

EDIT: If you hung around, there was an obvious chance of a rebound short on the F40 and that has just dropped through the floor. Major dosh. Sweeeeet.

One thing I should point out - if the fills had been executed properly (as they admittedly usually are - just a bad day), then the first move would have been a fail short and the counter and second trigger would have taken the trade to the finish line with no drama at all (but hey, where's the fun in that ).

No. Didn't start selling until 13.30. What a mess - finally hit target at 04.30 this morning.

Well, got myself into some bother this morning! DAX-Monster showed why you can never go in with anything less than full-body-armour and large calibre armament. I was expecting a short and ready for it - or so I thought. Didn't get filled. Fine if the move continues of course...today it didn't. Negative immediately and getting worse by the second. Now...counter up next on the long break, right? Didn't get filled. Becoming mildly annoying now ... So now I'm sitting on major negative ground (down -8.6%), as although it's...
Dax looked like an easy break on Frankie open. Wasn't around and looking back is of course easy !

As you move on in this game you'll find a darkened room is no use - a padded cell is a far better option. Maybe that's where Billy is ?

Yeah, the moves are much bigger out of the Frankfurt bell (simply because the set-up bar is much smaller) but that'd mean I'd have to drag myself out of my pit an hour earlier. lol!!!

As an aside - here's how yesterday's B*A*D trade wound up if you'd hung on in there and played it for the break.

Hi folks. Time for a bit of sanity after this morning's shenanigans.

My Dead Zone Watch-List is (in no particular order):

GN - short
CJ - short
NU - long
GOLD - long
UJ - short
DAX - short
OIL - long

Possibles for later:
NJ - long
GJ - long

There's a big red caveat on CJ mind you, as there is news on CAD this afternoon, due at 13.30 uk.

Took GN, as nothing else was moving.

Not true Dead Zone but a rebound out of the supply zone but the trade was there and I took it.

There we go - not a fortune but a quick in and out on a risky one.
