Who's still holding their longs off the 5500 level from the NY open?

How about a shout-out!

The only thing here long is my face...

I have heard you need to work on that premature withdrawal issue. The Mistress squealed.

There is a Data Window, Click on View, Data Window or Ctrl + D. If you put your mouse over a candel, it tells you value at that position in details, including MA values. Not sure if this is what you are looking for.
Thanks

Exactly!

I keep forgetting that when u get what seems to be a great entry after a rally and are expecting at least a 50% give back....and it doesn't play out!

That may be a signal that u should be reversing quickly!
thats the tricky part of day trading, examing what type of day is it going to be, alot of the time cable(and markets in general) piss around pulling up and down - giving plenty of opportunity to trade it both ways long and short, but realising that there is a trend day early on can be very profitable, risk free trading almost to a degree, they dont come around that often- the price action perfect example of trend day

almost need a different strategy/mindset on trading different types of days, being flexiable defo the key.....

Exactly! I am kicking myself now when I look at the charts with the price that I had.. I closed out most of my longs at 559x and just had a small amount running which closed out at 5700.. I wish I had left a bigger portion of the trade on..... oh well... still got good pippage can't complain.. I was only looking to buy dips today..
same here bro, same boat, brought silly prices but kept banking as the move went higher, ended up chasing her in the end, not bad strategy given the strong move we had

solid 4 hour close on last candle on cable not looking great for any sellers out there, 1.60 in next few days seems a absolute certainty at this rate!! could well squeeze to 1.65..... lets see...

Euro looking more interesting on 4hour thou, anyone notice the big pin??
