Gm traders!!! Wackey friday right before a big holiday!......i am not in yet but it looks to me like every time it has tried to break higher in the last hour it has failed!

If i had any long term profits i sure would be taking them today.

Get the stick out cause if i take this short and it does not play out i want somebody to beat me.

Morning, everybody

I was watching GU since 6:30am, and I did not see clean setups.
From what level did you long it? Maybe I missed something again.

We can take turns you can beat me for jumping out leaving most of the profits on the table. I shorted the GBP and E/J

I did.
It was a pin and IB at the same time.
Could be a good short from 5925, SL 5949.
You should take some profit and cover it already.
Good job!
