Excellent job bro! I've not booked any more profit on my long position just yet. I'm covered at +25.

Did anyone notice when we got into our trades? Right smack dab in the middle of news. This is why I say F the news. It's just noise 99.9% of the time. Good job trading today guys. I've gotta tend to my office, but I'll still be around.
Have a good one at the office bro! I'm going on the road shortly as well.. Great trading as usual....

Hit my target of 1.6546. I'm out.

As always, I'll probably regret my early exit!
Great job!

Hi Cisco

Yeah, I try to milk the cow during london open and NY turnaround. Usually just the 4 trades and they have been so easy this month. After that if I have my target I bugger off and play with my toddler and dont risk anymore in the rest of the session and I am usually done by London close. Lately, I keep smacking my targets too bloody early and then have to lose some to stick around. Little monkeys need attention too and dont seem to enjoy dad staring at the 4 screens. So unfortunatley I am not around much of the time while u guys are having fun here. Try to catch up on the banter tho when I can.

Glad to see u have been doing so well, mate.

Yeah bro! We moved out of the cable thread. Too many people throwing crab shot trades out and too many people bitching about us. We're here everyday during the US Session. Your always welcome to join in.
Just digging in the trenches like everyone else!

Call me crazy guys, but I took a short at 6540 with SL at 6560. My long position is still open and this short position is a small one.

Hiya Mate. How u guys...

U milking the cashcow? She has been good fun. very respectful of our entries.
WTF is up with this Equities reaction tho...! Crazy mofo's!

Grabbed same long entry 2x today for 100 pips each time. and she hasn't even got much past my exit from yesterday. Aren't I happy to be a bothways bandit with u spike raiders and not holding for the elusive exclusive. Banked a double profit again already tho, so I am probably done for the day and going to watch the cricket.

Taken most off now at this spike base at 6540.

Nice going Alan yes I will be watching us destroy England tonight. By the way I cannot wait for the first Lions test, there is an abundace of over confidence in their camp as a mate of mine in Australia said at the weekend. Australia SA NZ bring across all their best players and then play against a 2nd string Quins team and win by 2 point he would be very worried.

Yeah, it's already been closed out for the loss. I'll wait for my h4 to close before I try another short opportunity. Otherwise, my long position will continue to march northbound.

I would never call you crazy but from what I can see this is going to go up for a while yet. Maybe your all seeing eye has seen something we are not seeing.

I closed out all my longs from just below 6400 at 6550 area...a little early but I have a tl on the 4h around 6580 that i am looking for a bounce south off of.

It is sure nice to take a trade and then check this thread and find we are all on the same page!

Yes, it is nice to see the Lions are good strong intelligent lads tho. Hopefully strong enough, that the boks dont hurt them too much and smart enough to learn a lesson from the boks.

Btw. I notice a lot of u guys play the mistress EJ now. Just some thing to watch for on monday is a potentially nice yen trade. I have played it a few times only on T-note settlement days and because of the fact that Japan buy on average 20% of the US Treasuries debt to weaken their currency, $Y takes a helluva run on settlement day if the $ is weak leading up to the large settlement day. Unless, GBP and EUR are having a weak day, Geppy and EJ get dragged as huge pip mutlipliers.

If u are interested, add this template to a blank GBPJPY, EURJPY and $JPY chart and look at the moves in the last 3 settlements on 30/ Mar, 30 Apr and especially the large one on 1 June. I have loaded it as a template rather than a chart as it is easier to see. Solid yellow line is lunchtime US on settlement day when most of the money is banked.

Hopefully we see a nice free ride for a few hours on monday 15 June, but dont pee on my pipparoos if we dont.
