I'm just seeing it now.......:nerd:

Sweet trade, with the current trend, something is put into my tool box.

Nice job Pip...

In two hours, there were 3 possible trades of at least a total of 60 pips, just playing the bounce from 4800-4830.


Sidenote: Bad weather has pass, sun and fun this weekend.

Out to lunch

2. There is a text icon (A) in the upper side of your charts... just click on it and drag to the position u want...

Is anyone playing the range currently? I just bagged 15pips in 15m and covered the rest on my long. I'll look to go back south with her at 4827.

I believe that would have been even a better signal as the second candle didn't even try to go down further. Also look to your left we had PA (previous price action)and a Support line right around 780. so a lot going on . But the chart is just showing that trigger, and everyone's charts are a bit different.

I am done for the week. Everyone have a great weekend,, if anyone has any requested charts to be made just post what you want and I will see what I can do...

I have to go to a play tonight.. Reefer Madness the musical... Should be a riot.. Take care and as always Great Trading To All,

This picture cracks me up the damn joint is bigger than her...
