making session highs according to my chart??

I thought it was going down, could break out of this range and go higher, or it's a good place to short, or it's a good time to quit and go drinking

I call that ungrateful dude. You had a ticket and everything. I sat in the bus and asked the driver to collect you from the usual spot. Pity there was a lot of traffic at the time and you couldn't get on properly. I chanced on the second bounce and found the seat I wanted. Problem is I don't trust the driver and can't manage this beast so I cant pick a stop. Frankly I think it is going up to visit stop 156 by the weekend if the Dow ends well but I wont keep this trade all the way I think. I can't sleep well knowing that the bus is moving around with my wallet on board.

Will probably target the 61 fib and then close most of it off.

I had been waiting all day for that bus. It came crashing on me.

I wouldn't ride it after that.

I am considering a short at 5340 of the 61.8 of this down move. Surely there will be some more profit taking at the end of the day.
Ride the Bulls bearback!

That driver was a fkn maniac dude...

I was sitting there waiting all day, in all calmness and patience and the bus came crashing on the bus stop sign. Honestly, I thought it was you driving that bus, as you said you'd bring it there just that you had no idea where the brake was.

When it bounced the second time I was on the floor bleeding...

I am still in! I'm not giving up on this bitch from going up. I wouldn't be surprised to see her jump outta her pants and run her ass all the way to 56 tomorrow while all the American's are stuffing their guts.

This is completely random, but I've been thinking about letting winners ride and cutting losses short. And often when any of you guys mention moving stop to breakeven, do you mean:

1)Moving stop to your entry price
2)Moving stop to entry adjusted for say any partial profit taken, assuming it shifts stop closer such that overall trade is "free"

The way I see it, option(1) may cut your profits short but it also keeps the win % high if you adjust your stoploss after +20 pips for example whilst option(2) seems to allow more room for profit to run but my 2nd half of the trade have been closing out 0 for me a lot, and it's screwing up my risk/reward ratio a little if I'm going to be taking profits out of only half my trades and stop losses on the full.

Hope the experienced here can share their thoughts.

Also attached a trade I picked up from the BRV's "No Brainer" thread which I think is worth reading whether you trade with indicators or not, namely reinforces the basics of support and resistance.
