She's sitting right dead smack on the 200sma on the 1h.
My dance is over. I'll take my +5 and be done with her. 8m and new h1 comes out.

I'm sure getting my money's worth on this one.

I've been to weddings that didn't take this long.

I haven't talked with Infinity in private, but how does next week sound for the EU position trades? I don't know if anyone took the trades I mentioned yesterday, but they were both excellent trades. The first yielded the most, over 200 pips. I took the 2nd one myself and grabbed 40 off of it.

Now, remember guys, these will be position trades, not active intraday trades. We will be trading her off the h1, h4 and daily charts.

Damn, now look at her. You had a good one, but I don't blame you for covering so quickly.

My friend, this is your thread. Do exactly what you want. If somebody doesn't want to trade the euro, they don't have to do it.

I closed her out +6. This trading is looking very thin, now. I think I'm done for the week.

Pipland, you doing alright my friend?
Hey EO, just checking out your thread! some nice posts here.

Yeah not doing to bad how about you?

Bit annoyed i closed my long early yesterday as I was waiting for a big move up but i got fed up getting stopped out for a few pips so i kept taking small profits.

I took a short last night woke up and locked it to BE fell asleep and missed my opportunity to take profits and was stopped out.

I took a small short off that 1 hr pin today at the top closed it for a few pips.

I think we might have one more down move left in this and then a big move up. What do you reckon?

Also could still be a double top in play on the dow 15m

Your long is doing good then! I mentioned yesterday in the thread that 2740 was a key area for EU, that a long position there with SL around 2600 would be good. At the end of the day, I said the EU needed to come up to 294x and she did before going back short. I took the short at 2940 and closed at 2900 when I closed out my short on GU.

The Dow's going nuts and the pound's falling. I'm glad I got out.
