I'm complaining! Flat and boring (reminds me of an old girl friend) was just what I was expecting so I have stayed hedged all day so far. Really disappointed not to have made something today.
well it is up 130 pips or so since 10pm pacific so that ain't flat !

All a questions of time horizons I suppose and I am playing a bit longer just now

flat boring unintelligent submissive girlfriends are the most desirable in the world from my perspective right now - as long as they are pleasant and the tears don't roll their backs when they cry

I am also short 8645 sl 8691 tp 8604.
I hope this works out for you. I don't see it falling much more than 1.863x before it takes back off north. Don't let me change your mind on your trade because I've been wrong before, but we've tested to go lower earlier and we didn't get a new low, now it's time to test a higher high. Again, this is just my opinion. Trade your trade as you see it.

I hope she does, especially for all the short holders out there. I'm not in a trade currently and will wait until around 5:00 est before I consider another one.

Really we are all trading oil

This morning oil is up so the stock market goes down and so does the dollar

My shares actually went up a lot as they are heavily weighted towards oil/chemicals/oil exploration and drilling/mining etc

We should all get cracking researching oil and studying oil technicals as that is the only thing driving cable right now

If oil goes up, the value of the dollar typically is decreasing thus causing cable to go up.

I don't know if I am hedged or confused - so that probably means I am confused

my shares depend on oil going up

my cable short depends on oil going down

Having a personality suited to self deception , i can't lose because I will cheer whichever profits and ignore the losses

when dollar goes up ....oil goes down

in a nut shell if oil goes up so does cable...kinda proportional

x = volume times price

whatever maximises x is what they will do

All this about leaving it in the ground for their grandchildren is codswallop.
They would pump it all up tomorrow if it was 300 and they thought it was going to 30 next year - so would I

it will be interesting to see if that bottom breaks...being at 61% fibo i reckon we might dance in the range 1.8512-1.8910 for maybe 3 months b4 going up... assuming that bottom dont break..

any thoughts?
