Good job! Now, cover the rest of your position positive. When you get a signal for another long position, add to it.

Sorry, I have to get up and dance a jig! I'll dance another one if we see 4400 and another one at 4300. I think 4300 is a little far fetched to get though.

Guys, I would like to share that we've had almost 400 downloads of the pdf that NYJETFAN put together. That is freakin awesome! I applaud him again for his efforts and I hope many are finding it helpful. Revisions/Additions are already in the works.

I'd like to see 1.4170 to form a neckline on the h1. Then a run up to 1.4335 to form a right shoulder.

Yeah, I know. Trade what you can see!

Hey bro - is this still the short from 4540? If so, did you not the normal SL of 25 above the PA spike or how'd you manage to stay in so long? Nicely done though - gotta teach me this one..

Is that maybe a bullish hammer forming on the 15M would be nice

The short was a built up position. My original part at 4540, another part around 4500, more at 4575 and more again at 4590. My SL was at 4630. I've taken profit now at 4500, rest is at +3 which could get taken out with this next move up. I'm not ready to teach about building positions. When it's time, I'll let it out of the bag. I have to work on the ability to communicate this type of trade effectively.

You deserve the credit bro! I can only show you the light, you have to turn on the switch. It shows you have done that.

I'm working on a world tour. As long as I don't get lost/stuck/consumed in Amsterdam, I'll take you up on the beer!
