Guys,

Somebody aware me of the thread lingo.

Is the "mistress" the EURUSD ? lolz


I am still short on that 1HR pin off of the 1.35. Took off half at 1:1 and my ATR stop has moved down to around a close above .3503.

Nice trading all round guys, I didn't get in on the Cable 62ema though, was looking for some PA tbh. Oh well, can't get greedy

Nope...miss it Pippi.

Was concentrating on the GU which I took long from 5053, scalped some pips and covered.

A friend sent me this earlier today an amazing video truly inspirationaI

A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'
[color=black][font=&quot]The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'.
They went on to complete the marathon together.
Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.
One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join...
Thanks, it's great to know that My Redeemer Live.

Right there with you Analizer.

I now also have the 248 ema on my 15m chart. I've already found it to be a real help as price approaches the possible 62 bounce.

Kudos to you Jig. It was a simple observation but the good ones usually are.

Much appreciated

There is Double top forming on 15M, and top is hiting 61.8 retracement level on 1H.
Looks interesting.

All eohater/Infinity in fairness to those guys.

I saw it but I wasn't in love with any PA occuring on any timeframe to be honest, glad you guys like it anyway.

I'd be interested in taking shorts around the .5100 level, some good confluence up there.

Might just go cook some scrambled eggs though (om nom nom nom)
