I went short on those M15 tweezers, gonna bail soon if it gets much higher
Keep it in check bro! The tweezers that you see did not have matching tops, this is a requirement of tweezers. I booked profit and covered on my short position because of how the 15m candle closed. She did not have a bottom wick and closed out flat.

Excellent trading bro! When is your C-5 gonna be ready for pipparoos?
Thanks I'm trying to stuff some under the pilot seat right now. She is getting pretty full.

I'm on the North bound again at 6382. Taken profit and waiting to see where she wants to go.

You know. Sometimes good shit happens to bad people at good times when they having bad times. . Took an iffy looking long on a full H1 close into the band of MA's with a 15pip stop and just closed my eyes as I walked out to take the screaming poxy one to the park. Just got back to take off half for 90 pipsqueaks. Just love that trade! And its one from here...

OK. Off to drink beer and watch cricket. Later again guys.

Yep, taken most for 100 now. Not in a hurry to buy but she looks like she could stall. Everytime Crude rallies like this lately on postitive sentiment, So do Dow Futures, then suddenly NY opens and they realise the high crude prices will de-rail things and the pack of cards tumbles. Monkeys!

Oh well, Gonna leave this and deal with the poxy cable killa.

Targets hit for the day so I am done with risk.

C ya guys.
Ride the Bulls bearback!

You might need to get a horse jockey to be the pilot so he can still fit in the seat after you get done stuffing all those pips in it.

My next TP on my long position is 6480. I'm watching the 6485 area closely and the upcoming h4 closing closely for a possible short opportunity myself.

For you DOW watchers. Looks like the DOW has tested and failing to get back up. Next stop could be 8500.

I have my eye on that high close as well as the top of that prior pin.

Yes it is! 6480 is proving to be a real barrier. I've booked some more profit here at 6473, keeping the rest of my long at +30

The Dow is flatlining. Paddles may be needed.

On the flipside...1.6565 is not out of the question, in my eye. Who knows?

I'm sorry to hear! You saw the setup and even called it for everyone else. Don't wait on someone to give you confirmation, take the setup and let it happen. You'll win more times than you lose on that setup
Indeed! It is always a high probability setup... I got some good pippage on that one as well... Lost some off the h1 62 last night though...

Hanging man on the h4 and pin on the h1. Decisions, decisions. Well, can't make a good decision on an empty stomach, so I'm headed to lunch.

I saw the h1 62 last night before I went to bed, but decided against it. I had already marched shorts down to 6225 and left the rest covered at 6300, I wanted to take it short again, but decided to sleep and get a new seat in the morning. Thank goodness I choose sleep over pips!

I decided short with 20 pip SL

I thought about it, then I decided balls to it, its my decision. SHE WILL GO DOWN ON ME!!!!!

EDIT: Then I start to wonder, the SL should be above the last H1 high by a pip or two

I took it for a bounce in my secondary account and kept one long in the primary before getting some sleep.
