I was going to take a trade on that pair earlier today for the first time in months but the price did not go to where I wanted it... I would have been at least 100 pips in green by now....oh well... cable is my girl... not cheating just yet...

EJ has been in a range from roughly 126.00 to 128.00 for the last 2.5 days. We are smack dab in the middle right now.

I normally extend older ones that previously held well on h1 upwards without changing the original points from which they were drawn... I constantly draw little trendlines on m15 though....
