That's right bro... it is the next close that should give us more solid confirmation though as it may have already played out with the rejection off 3992 area...
Thanks bro! I should be able to see that.

All longs closed out at 4032. Now it's time for a new setup.

Anyone holding a position atm? I'm watching 3975. We have prior 15m PA there which could come into play.

I kept a long at 4041....willing to add to it....

Nope, on the sides now waiting for a seat. 4000 is hanging tough, but if the selling pressure continues, it will have to cave eventually (Since I'm going on a trip to UK in the next week, I hope it does - then I might be able to afford to buy something :-)

Longer term trades are good to have. I can see it going up, thus why I was long earlier.

4000 is hanging pretty tough, but as all walls, they can be broken. 3975 is a key area that I'm looking at getting in back long myself.

I'm jealous of your trip to the UK next week. I hope you have a good time! Will you still be able to trade?

Its a surprise Anniversary present for the wife. Hmmm, now that you mention it, trading while on our trip *might* be quite a surprise in itself, so I'll bring the laptop just in case.. Nah, trading is definitely out until I return late next week, but once this trip is over I'll have more time freed up so I can trade daily and make some of the "trading happy hours" at night as well. Starting to feel confident in understanding the setups (at least a few of them) and will start putting some of my personal cash behind them upon return.

Now the h1 looks good for those holding longs. I'll buy on the way down the wick of the h1.

Your wife is a lucky woman! Definately, do not take the laptop! Enjoy your family time, relax, have HS, and come back with a clean mind ready to battle. You don't need to understand every setup, just the ones that work for you. We don't always have to be in a trade.

I'm outta here for lunch guys! Keep your positions covered, and don't be afraid to TP along the way. I'll see where we're at when I get back from luch.

Trade well!

That last sentence at times can be a struggle for me. Patience isn't one of my strengths, but something I'm working on at this point. Definitely using 15m timeframes is a help ( as opposed to trading off dailies), and now having some well defined criteria is a benefit as well. I can say I've learned the hard way that "Its better to be out of a trade wishing you were in, than to be in a trade wishing you were out."
