Now I see why EO paints himself.. Watching paint dry is good preparation for ping pong trading on GBP/USD!

Hey Cisco - I can say I had a pretty good day today. Unfortunately, I won't be around for the US session Tuesday-Thursday this week, so take a few green pips for me if you don't mind...

Hi EoH
just came back to the charts........and what a turnabout....!!!!
the Bearish Engulfing did not complete,nor a BEARISH outside Bar....so i will wait for more price action......but the asain session may take it Higher.
a close above 1.4600 looks Bullish ....

Nice catch cisco.

I'm afraid I bailed to early, wasn't able to stay by the computer, so I jumped at 70. Darn it!

Thanks Mav. You did alright, though. You had a better entry than me and you made green pips.

Did anyone buy at the m15 50ema? I had an order at 4550 with tp at 4640 and came back to see it filled and closed for 90 pips profit... I honestly did not expect to see the move happen at this hour ... but I'm glad it did...

I plop these little graphics in during the day.....have found it helps to keep me focused and gives me something to do.

Here is how much I know.

I sat down to take a look at the early Asian session and ploped in that big red bull..............then went over to read the Cable thread!

Missed a 100 pip move!
