Well, ladies and gents. This doesn't look like the type of trading I want to do. I think I'll run out to the horse farm and see if my horse is still pissed off at me. I had him gelded. He's not too happy with me, either.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

And you cisco...

You go enjoy the pleasent sunshine and warm temperatures....

Bah humbug!!

And you can cross dobin's gonads whilst your at it...you could even keep them on your desk now!

holy smokes!! Well, if your looking at holding this trade, I would have my stops below the 4080 area. She might bounce up and get you in profit or you might have to take the loss and move on to another trade.

Ken, did you take the trade on the close of the 15m candle across the 15m 50ema? If you did, I took the same trade and was stopped out like greased lightening. Your SL on that entry should have been not bigger than 35 pips. As you can see, she jumped off the edge of a building after the 35 pips was achieved. I'll sometimes set my trade up with a close and reverse order on my SL, but I didn't have time to get that order set before she wiped my ass.

I see potential for a very slow end to the day.

possibly involving the kettle, some twinnings everyday tea bags and a wedge of cake..

What do you guys think?

Sorry for using the 5 min again.

hey bro

i'm just outside London and we've had some lovely sunny weather, but chilly as at night. You should have a crack here, just ignore all the newspapers etc they're all doom and gloom, but most people seem to be thinking wtf and getting on with it.

Try out some pubs etc if youlike a beer, but don't drink Fosters or Carling here, it ain't called skippy piss for nothing.

I've had enough ranging and going to go home for the weekend, have a good one all see ya next week.
please DON'T copy my trades I am still learning

my wife told me to short it @ resistance with a 15 pip SL...in london session- it was hovering there for a good while too! would have been a decent 70+ opportunity

I should listen to her more often
lowest draw down possible please.

I remember last year around July, someone came into the cable thread and said their wife said to short it to 1.5, at the time, we were around 1.96. He didn't listen to his wife either.
