Nothing wrong with that! It's against the grain and underwater on my position. Have a good lunch!
I'll wait till it get closer to 3900, it's another Fibs line.

Nice job on the shorts bro! I was busy all weekend, wore out and didn't trade last night.

I just closed my shorts after that m15 close... I am not long though because I am going to lunch shortly.. I will be looking to reenter shorts at the m15 50 or the h4 5ema.....
That's where I want to jump in short. I can't short her at this price.

Have a good lunch!

Guys, I move my SL to +3 instead of +1 or BE because my broker charges me a commission to enter and exit a trade. +3 covers the commission and put 1.5 pips roughly in my pocket. Your brokers might be different.

I jumped on the bus long at 3983, not the best 15m close, but I'll take it. Buyers are coming into the market.

No reason to go long, I am afraid you are trading what you expect and not what you see.

Hmmm...seems that I have green pips! This is why I'm in my thread and not the cable thread.

Guys, make sure your position is covered. The last 15m close was not the best close, but it did close over the wick of the prior 15m candle so I'm keeping my position open.

I like Ameritrini, we just trade differently. He said the same shit last week in the cable thread about calling the bottom is bad trading and shit like that. Infinity and I both were long from our positions and both got nice pippage from the move. I'm NOT A ONE WAY TRADER. I trade up and down. Now, if anyone took the trade that I'm in, then they are up some nice pippage, quickly with a small draw down. How is that bad fucking trading?
