Quoting Why Oh Why
1.9810 SL 1.9830 TP 1.9760. Last 1.9801.
Exited 2 lots for 50 pips. 3 short and also 5 long remain from Buy Limit #3. SL to break even on 3 short. I note your concern cesarnc but, to me, it just seemed, for the reasons mentioned, value to short at 9810 with a 20 pip SL. Last 1.9785.

I see you opened that trade about 12 hours ago, and unless my charts are wrong I dont see your target being hit. I have a low of 9780 . If you closed out 2 lots there, that gives you 30 pips not 50.

Hey, I'm older than you , I'm allowed to make mistakes!

1 minute before the post time I exited at 2 lots for 50 pips or 25 each. Post 397 shows the order placed then just under 4 hours later I took the 50 pips. The other 3 remain and are now 3 pips away for the raised SL to be hit. It never hit the target - I exited manually 1 minute before the post.

Thanks for the enquiry and I'd welcome anyone to verify it independently. 30XTCi, you eat too much. We've gotta watch our weight you know. Dr. Why prescribes more vegetables and a walk every day.

Well, that makes perfect sense. It's funny how your mind can have tunnel vision. That' s what old age does for you!

Great Journal, keep it going,

Last 1.9785. Now only 30 pips adrift. Are the bears hiding now?

36 pip move up in the previous hour on low/high. Steady buying. Posted above at 1.9775 - now unchanged after FA. 67.6 versus 72 expected. The clever money knew it was going to be worse. Sad - not enough to make it move again. More consolidation now. Boring. Last 1.9770.

Now profit taking. Who would trade news today? Not even me - and I don't mind a gamble.

120 pips for the week so far and 5 and 3 long still outstanding from 1.9815 and 1.9750 respectively. Orders #3 and #10. Anyone had problems posting today? It's taking me 2 or 3 attempts due to time outs allegedly at FF servers.
