I am using 3 MT4 charts from 3 different brokers, they all give different MA200 on daily candle. 2 of which already crossed, and 1 chart is getting closed to it.

If daily candle is closing at around 15330 we will see a nice pin bar on daily . Just a thought.

Stopped out with +5......that happens often when your entry is a little late.

Thats ok.....she may not be ready to turn yet.

Shorting again on a lower high.

Yes that is always a issue you can only do what you can do.. Some times it depends on what time they start there charts on sunday. I have mine to start at 5:00 eastern to conincide with the majority of brokers.

Komissar : Shorted at 5501, grabbed 20, locked BE+2

Thats the way to go.. Making 20 pips or better when it is like this is all right.... Now to do it 2 or 3 times and snatch 60 or more pips from the tight moving thing..

Agreed ..

http://www.chartpatterns.com/images/wbgasc.gif
http://www.chartpatterns.com/images/2asctr~1.gif The ascending triangle is a variation of the symmetrical triangle. Ascending triangles are generally considered bullish and are most reliable when found in an uptrend. The top part of the triangle appears flat, while the bottom part of the triangle has an upward slant. In ascending triangles, the market becomes overbought and prices are turned back. Buying then re-enters the market and prices soon reach their old highs, where they are once again turned back. Buying then resurfaces, although at a higher level than before. Prices eventually break through the old highs and are propelled even higher as new buying comes in. (As in the case of the symmetrical triangle, the breakout is generally accompanied by a marked increase in volume.)

Need to be careful on for cable shorts. The $ is showing bearishness and is testing recent daily lows.
