SS #2 !!! mmmmmmmmm I know my HG has caused a few missteps, as well. At least it was still a profitable position, even though you may have missed some.

I read somewhere (not sure where) that, "Not taking a profit is better than losing." In this respect, I consider your move a good one. K+
HG here, too...whataya know..

Very Nice...

I know the expectation for thursday's Interest Rate Announcement is steady at 4%, but could you imagine what would happen if it was dropped 25 or 50 bps? Not that it will happen, but with all of the vocal warnings from ECB members this week, you never know if they are considering a sneak attack. I kind of laugh at the idea myself, but isn't that how they usually get you?


I know I'll be staying out of muddy water on Thursday... At least initially. Happy Pipping

Yea me too. I might take one more scalp before Europe, but it will be tight and very brief. I get a little protective as this year has yielded around 300% profit so far.

Not bad... I've found in my own trials that conservative scalping can be far more profitable than attempting to predict a triangle, wave pattern, diamond, trend, etc. I like to call it quits after 3-5 pips everyday (usually takes 2-4 hours depending on volatility). And when 5 pips = 5% , it's very hard to complain, especially if it's easy to reproduce.

we've been bouncing off of these levels for 8 or 9 hours now... which is good for your case. But look at how small the bounces have gotten. I am actually hoping to see at least a small break thru this level, possibly to the 5175 area. Just my one cent, since I wouldn't bet two cents on it...

plus volumes are low at the moment.

I'm just worried that if 5187 is reached, then it may continue dipping down to 5150 area and I would lose pips on s/l.

Well I've got my money where my indicators are telling me to go. I can't find any compelling reason to go long.
News indicators - Short. 30+ articles from feeds, all negative.
Charts - Short. Monthly, Daily and Weekly all overbought.
In @ 1.5198 & 1.5210 (Avg 1.5202), SL 1.5270 TP 1.4950.
Time will tell.

Just reset my SL to 1.5200 just in case it bounces overnight, gonna make something on trade #1, even if its only $1.
