The mistress is a strong one.


I'm noticing! I'm wishing I would have put more on her when I booked some profits.

Eo, did you close your long?

On one chart, price made it to 4812. On the other it only made it to 4805.

I didn't close, but I took more profit at 4800. I'll consider a short after we get the h4 and this h1 closed. Good job if you took the short, your up nice right now.

I think you might be right on with your short. Look at EU, it's driving GU up. EU could be headed for 336x before giving it up!

I've taken a short position at 4800 and I'm keeping a tight leash on it. My longs are still open as well.

What about interest rate in 30 min?
They can't drop it - no more space.
They wouldn't rise it either - if common sence still exists.

But anyway, it looks like market is waiting for that statement.

Any other aspects of this I am missing?
