I rode it all the way from 131.85 to the top. Took profit along the way and added back a couple of times.
Nice job PippiNole.....

And don't worry Ken, with time you will be riding more pips all the way to the pip bank.

I just reversed my long to a sell at the retest of the 50 ema on the E/J . I am not confident though had that bit of news. but it has been creeping down. Looks like I should have taken my long on the cable off that inverted hammer.. OH well should have taken both and closed this one earlier.

Maybe a shooting star on the gbp with a touch off the 200 sma

Yes I took the EJ short off the 21 ema took 30 and covered. I took a long on GU after the OB and took profit at the 200 sma and covered. On GU there has been a lot of support in the 5910-20 area today.

She is winding up tight....resistance @ 1.6000.

We could be tight until the London fix, then we will see if there is any end of month profit taking.

I would love to see a 38% retrace of the entire move up. That would put it at 134.00. This area she is at right now showed some resistance at 6:30-7:00 this morning and support at 10:00 am.

Pretty nice scalping available off the E/J all afternoon . That may be my ticket just take a few 20 pip scalps everyday when it is quite. I have been getting more and more of them even holding them a bit longer.

Seems like the open of every session I pick the wrong entry then have to make up the loss.. Just spinning my wheels.

Just like tonight trying for a long on the E/J.. Now looking back I see the hammer closed below the previous candle the body is red, Those should have warned me. Even though I did take it I should have closed it sooner. Then I would have had a chance to enter of the 10 or 21 ema.. myself. At least I did reverse at the 35 and made back half the loss.

possible 35/50 reversal on the gbp coming. ????
