Here's something to think about.
I saw that earlier. Plus, the last hour's close couldn't take out the previous candle's upper wick. Kind of looks like the bulls are running out of steam...but, the dow is starting to pick up a little steam.

I am long from 4000 currently with four positions...but seems to have hit a wall at the 15m 50/62 for the last 2 hours.......keeps bouncing there
You have a nice position there. Don't be afraid to take some profit off the table along your journey.

But will the DOW continue it's rally? There's a big gap from yesterday on the DOW that still needs filled. Don't see it getting filled today, but an upward movement in the next coming days is seeable.

Geithner's testifying before congress. He just said that an early tax hike won't stall the economic recovery. I couldn't disagree more. Sounds like an economic buzzkill to me!

Geithner shouldn't worry about a tax hike. He doesn't pay them, anyhow!

I wish I'd have waited for a little better entry now.

You know, waiting for it to go half way up the wick is sometimes a crap shoot. Your right, we could have waited and got a better entry, or she could have taken off south without us.

We might have. That last 15m candle was just too tempting to pass up, though.

Exactly! I saw that and said, 'yummy!'

You're right. I've been left at the gate a bunch of times waiting for a better entry. I decided to just pull the trigger when the last candle closed and let it go where it's going to go. I'll deal with it along the way if it goes against me.

35 pips above the high of the last 15m candle. 4113, in this case. EO's is probably different, though.

My stop is 25 pips higher than the wick of the 15m pin which triggered the short.

We're close. Remember, the last 15m close did not take out the wick of the pin. This is good for us.

The dow's dropping, so is the pound. Cross your gonads for luck!
