I'm long from 4028 with a tp at 4060. Anybody else on the long bus?
Nope, but I know why you took it! Good job!

Sure! Notice the first candle circled (HAMMER), next candle in the circle is to either buy upon opening or buy half way down the wick, like he did. Now. I would have taken profit on this trade if it were I. I'm currently short from 4055. The TL on my h1 and the 15m 200sma are why I waited for the short opportunity instead of the long position.

I just closed my short from 4045. for a couple of pips.

Is it me or does it seem to just be aimlessly wandering or is that the boredom setting in.. we dont seem to be heading anywhere this week.?

Why not show off a bit and ride the long up to the trend line, then stop and reverse once you get there?
