Same here, long from 6007, grabbed 20 and covered.

SL hit. She just touched it, and went up again.
And I know why - this si a punishment for morning cheating with Mistress.

As Seventh Commandments says "No adultery".

London cloases in 6 min.
What will "London fix" mean today?

Also, it's Wednesday.

This is what I am referring to here... It could take us higher in the coming hours once we stay above 5950. Also, if we close above the wick of the previous candle.. that would be a bonus!

Anybody thinking short??

Looks like it's having an awful hard time breaking higher but 4h looks bullish on that dblhc, and that big up candle and the long wick candle next to it looks bullish to me also....or is that a reversal pattern?

Still flat here!

Today "Existing home sasles" was better then forecast. And market reacted pretty calm.
Remember, when "Pending Home sales" was relased, and it was better then expected, market was histerical. It's rocketed to the sky, talking heads on TV were talking that recession is over, etc.

Looks like market works in opposite direction of this forum.
They trade what they expect, not what they see.

Just my two cents.

It's going good...some up and downs...but overall it's helping me to pull the trigger in my live trading when I see the setup. :nerd:

Sticking to the 35/50 setup and only waiting for those trades to show up.
