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...

Very tight. She could go either way. I still have one lonely soldier from down below marching long. Whatever price is at the end of the day, he will be brought home.

DAMM, they got a play out??

Obama, just needs to make it law, if he wants the Government to make some serious money.

Make the rules just like alcohol, but a little stricter, that's all.

Was talking to a buddy last night and it's easier for teens to get drugs than it is to buy alcohol, go figure. I know I was buying nickel bags back in High School with ease.

Speaking of school, time to get the kids.

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

HOLLA
Yes, there were great trades if you could SEE them. I could SEE that the price was not making new highs so I went short over and over again.

I think I'm going to let this one slide by. It's 2:00 on a Friday.

Never traded EJ.

Notice how price has moved upwards. It hasn't taken out the SL on the hangman setup, but being Freaky Friday, it could or even worse, just sit up there and either you hold a position over the weekend or take the loss.

I don't know if you guys look at the DJIA daily chart, but it's setting up to close with a hangman.
