I wouldn't be surprised to see her stall out at 1.5121. If she does then it'll be a long day of range trading.

My price is getting whacked on all majors. Talking bids over ask prices. Careful everyone! Volatility is among us!

Let's see if this is right! I'll add more to my position once we clear and confirm the 15m 35/50 cross.

Good call bro! We should have started our position trades once we got the 100% retracement to 1.35 and not looked at them again for a year.

I originally planned to do that at 1.3850 but chickened out....

I chickened out myself. I told myself I would take it all the way down there and then when we got there and went past it, I froze. I said a long time ago and I'll say again, we're still in a bull market with GU until we clear 1.35 and confirm it as resistance.

I have just finished reading that book, have you read his other book "Trading in the Zone"? I am 3/4 the way through. I might finish reading it this evening. Highly recommend it
Thanks Damo

I have that one, great book.

The main thing I got out of Trading In The Zone. Was the CURE, develop a STRUCTURED strategy and trade it the way it is designed. So as each traders is different, so might be there rules of the game. That is why Everyone tells us you need to write it down..

We HAVE to decide what is right for us.. Taking into account our Money Management our trading hours, The trades we tend to take , and any other variables unique to each of us. The goal is to make consistent trades based on our own rules. If we trade many of the setups we have learned on this...
Ken Lee...keep babbling, because sometimes I think we are in sync.

5100 held, now let's see if we can get across the 15m 35/50 and confirm it to hold. Remember, sellers are sitting here and above the 35/50 once the 15m candle closes on the other side.
