Here's a suggestion. Move your sl to a manageable point and go buy the kids a dog!

Think of the smiles you'll put on their little faces.
I got the 20 I was looking for on that trade. As to the dog, well, we found one and my wife is going this weekend to make the final decision. She's 6 weeks old and only 4 hrs away. The funny thing is, the dog is located where my brother in law lives.

Good morning EO and everyone else...
Did you take this trade because PA is stalling there....though MA's are slightly pointing down (4 o'clock) on 15 min?

1H could also be building to be nice tweezers...

I posted a chart as to why. It's on the prior page. Yes, the ma's are pointing down, but I have a driver on the 15m and prior PA on the h1 as well. There's a hint of some prior PA on the h4 as well, but it's a little lower than my entry point..

Morning, fellows
I think long should be careful. If the channel breaks, then...

The same channel is already broken on 1H

Your right, longs should be careful, but I couldn't short her where she was at. Too many factors saying otherwise. That could change depending upon how this 15m closes.

Good job on the trade.

As to the dog...I hope you're good at house training dogs. I was never good at that, myself. She's going to leave piles bigger than a chihuahua.

Do you have any thoughts on the FOMC Statement tomorrow or this not something you look at.

Reading various websites today there is a feeling that as the recession is not going to be as bad as originally thought there is a bias towards countries moving their currencies out of dollars, not that should affect us as we trade what we see.

Good job on your 20, but did you take the short off the candle I circled?
