Got out around +2.

Added when she went up to 4693.

I'm flat and taking a break.

I'd keep whatever one supports your current open positions better..
All other charts like M15, H1 are the same, but H4 is quite different and sometime D1 has a slight different too. They all support of course, but the different in closing H4 make you see things differently.
Many happy pips returned ...

This is f..king unbelievable!

I shorted it at 4664 - perfect 62ma bounce off.
SL was 4710 - to cover 61.8 Fibs.
SL was hit, minus 46 pips,
AND NOW THIS B...tch dropped to 4655!!!

Isn't trading so much fun? (You pretty just summed up my 62EMA trade)

Could this have been a false breakout just to get people thinking long here ???

That's how it is bro! I lost the 40 pips myself... Surely if it flew straight to 4850, you wouldn't be unhappy...

I don't mind it to cross my SL, and go further up/down - sh#t happens.
But when it just touched SL, and then back to where it was...
This pissed me off!

A little something to brighten your day after that crappy 1HR 62ema didn't hold for us.

I've noticed many people have a different trendline on the recent break. Here is mine. It started at the bottom of wicks as normal and I did not adjust it later as price closed within even though the wick pierced. So it is possible for more retrace if you go by this (though chances are it's wrong maybe).

I'm not holding on for anything long term at the moment... I regained my lost pips from the 62ema to 4700... It is at a tricky spot right now... It could go either way from here really...

I agree! She's being a bitch right now actually! I also see your 4725 as a possibility. Would love to see a hangman on this h1 close.

Oh yeah, Morgan Stanley earnings are about to be released. That should drive the DOW down and let the risk aversion go back to the dollar. But, WTF do I know, I'm in an upside down freakin trade right now. I'd sell my grandmother if it would help right now!
