Hey Al, I used to read your posts in the other thread. I always thought you really had your shit together as a trader. I'm glad to see you in here.

Thanks Cisco. Thats very kind.
I love to learn and I have studied loads of different analysis lately and the more I study the more I find myself distracted and look past the obvious. This thread has given me back that Eureka moment and after a dip in trading I am inspired again. Also the cable thread has really hit a low point lately and it is nice to be among good traders who are so helpful.

I missed that one and closed the rest of my short. I am done for the day (a very nice green one). Thanks again guys. Have a Freaking Fun Friday and weekend. Weather in London is perfect for a braai, so it's time for a beer and a steak.

She has been bouncing beautifully today.....I am chillaxing (chilling + relaxing) already...but watching her to continue LEARNING her...I am beginning to understand EO's statement that she "TALKS TO ME"...sometimes even screams

BTW...EO and Infinity...if you ever feel comfortable in giving some insight on how you put out some soldiers....then add more....then take out some...I would love to try to learn that from you...maybe if you just give an example one day....we'll try to pick up some from it....

As always...we are thankful for ALL that you teach...

Hey bro, nice chart. Very similar to mine.

Here's something for everyone else to notice as well. We've talked about this in the past. PRIOR PA, notice the red and green circled PA then how price reacted again when it got there. So, if you missed a trade, wait patiently and you can get back in.

It's basically just scaling out of the position.... like now.. I have shorts at 4505 still open but I closed most of it for 100 pips already... I also added new shorts at 4480 and took 30 pips profit on part of that and covered the rest... so either way I cannot lose anymthing from these trades but I can still gain more on both.

Stopped out on new one as I typed...

I'm not a big drinker but I made a couple of gallons of kahlua a couple of months ago. I might have to uncork one and let her breathe before I take a sample sip in honor of a good week. cheers!
