Drat...

Missed the session completely, Asia took it down to the QP but not quite all the way ((20pips)) to the M1 pivot like I hoped, ((hey, a target Zone is a Zone for that reason...)), but it was the Fo/Lo gang after all that took it back up, and I underestimated that move by 7 pips as well.

So Drat and Double Drat. A miss is as good as a mile/kilometer on this thread, and everyone here knows if you're off by even ONE pip, then you might as well hang up your mouse. A seven pip miss and the wrong session for the move is an unforgiveable combination...
Ak - 1st off; man, don't be so hard on yourself, it's o.k. to be wrong once in a while. Even me, I thought, I was wrong once, then I realized I wasn't after all. - See?

2nd - it is absolutely o.k. to be 1 out of 3 - Don't forget: in baseball, you're a HOF'er if you can hit the ball a 3rd of the time for a career.

So lighten up - I still kinda sorta like the sh*t you write -
Pip what you see; See what you pip!

Drat...Hey, does 1 out of 3 count for anything?
The zones were right, who cares what session it's in or if it is off by a few pips. Not me.

Here is what his chart should be look like. Just pick the tracks, any one, and trade them, either the downsloping or the recent new upslope puts you in a good position.

Alright, I'm feelin the and I promise I won't Jump.

Actually, that was sort of a joke post and I was still chuckling over this one from Dopey on another thread. I'm in transition between stages 2 and 3. #3 I kinda always knew tho, so it's not real clearcut.

I was going back over some of the other posts from folks and it's really something how if you can Sort and Sift properly, there's some very Good Stuff able to be distilled from this thread, and I really value the integrity of most of the regular posters here regardless of their "accuracy" or lack thereof... That'll come with time and persistence.

Some of the transients are another story, and I'll leave it at that.

Here's the thing...

99vt made a Spot On observation last night Before the turn back north, and there were several others as well thruout the evening, but that one sticks in my memory, cuz it jarred me loose from my "Gotta hit that stupid Pivot" fixation long enough that I zoomed out some and said "Well huh... how about that..." so I checked a few other things, closed my shorts, took a couple quick longs near the bottom for 20 pips ((only 20 pips ))and went to bed.

Someone PM'd me last night, based on something else I had posted once that came to pass I think, and they asked what did I think would happen the rest of the week...

My reply was along the lines of given the anticipated volatility a'rd ADP, ECB, NFP, and some other alphabet soup thingys, I expect most everyone here here except the Whackos will be right... at least for a few minutes.

"Protect your Coin and Stay In the Game" as Bemac says and you''ll be just fine. That's the next best thing to a Win.

I'm sidelined the rest of the week myself with some matters to attend to, and will be watching for the most part. Ya'll do well, and do it carefully.

What's a HOF'er, and is that a good thing?

Remember someone here called me a wanka a few months ago, and I'm still sensitive about that. Whatever a wanka is/was. I forget now. I'm not sure we even had wankas when I was growing up, ((and which both of my friends really wish I would finish doing asap)) so I claim Exemption.

I will say this about the EU thread... I haven't done an exhaustive search yet, but I have searched all the major Active threads, and the EU thread is the only one that returns any references to a "wanka"...

Just in case that comes up on a Trivia question and you win The Big One, you can come back and thank me

I really gotta go. Later.

WANKA = somebody who excessively indulges in phalanx self-love to the detriment of boyfriend, family and friends.
