Stood on the sides today, actually was watching price on CNBC and didn't even turn on my laptop until now....I see the move was during the London morning, funny how the moves on the pound happen within an hour or so....oh well.

Nice retracement on the EJ...

Everything seem at a standstill during the morning US session...expect the DOW.

Will catch ya'll at the Asian session.
