Looks like it has failed on it's attempt to make another low off that run, on the 5m and 15m charts.

Buy signal confirmed for me but out for the day!

Have a good weekend...

Great thread, EO.

Cool to see many of the Cable thread "old boys" posting, the likes of Shilva, Turtle, Cisco and, of course, Infinity.

I will pop in and silently lurk from time to time, occasionally adding some value, if I can. I see it's a technical thread, which is your successful way of trading, so I'll keep any fundamental comments for the Cable thread. I won't clog up your thread.

Good luck, Paul

Hey Paul,

Thanks for dropping by! Stop in anytime and feel free to leave your fundamental views here, I don't mind. Your right though, I'm not a fundamental trader, but it's always nice to read what the fundamentalist are thinking.

I suppose it could be 'the glass is half full' as opposed to 'half empty'

or is it you only have 1 working trade button..?

Wider veiw of my 4hr shows same trend. just wishfull thinking if i'm off to Florida come December, fingers crossed.

I didn't make any one the drop, but I know Wormboy did! His buy button is broken.

bahahaha, you guys got me. Since that buy button hadn't been working I've been tunnel visioned.
Florida sounds nice. Going south is always nice this time of the year!

That's exactly right!! Fear! The damn dollar and it's risk aversion status. We've talked about this before, the dollar will loose this status before long. Being that Japan did not influx the stimulus money that everyone was hoping for will actually help the YEN in the long run. They know better than to fire up the printing presses and devalue their currency. Once this all comes to a head, we will see the dollar get flushed and it will get flushed HARD.

BTW, if you can't make it sooner, just send me the money. I'll spread it around for you. That goes for you, too, EO!
