Good morning everyone! I'm not of much help right now. I'm short from the top of the mountain and waiting to see if we break 6210.

Had a tight stop but moved it back and went to bed......just to prevent getting stopped out!

Wanted to carry that trade for a home run!

Greedy cause i wanted more.....not greedy enough for not taking the profits .......so i just shot myself in the foot instead!
Heh, I've done that, been 50-80 up, had my bias blinkers on and been absolutely convinced that price couldn't possibly retrace all the way back, and then it did, and then I got stopped out for +1.

On another note, I think cable might creep higher, or retest the 6300 level at the very least. Buyers/profit takers are around the 10 EMA area. We got the 50 EMA around 6330, I'd be happier shorting from there - hope it gets there.

Thanks!

I've got a feeling that the difference in entries is often the difference in feed prices by the different brokers.

Has to be something like that Because I never even see the prices that EO and Infinity get in half the time. Plus I know GFT is 2 pips off Oanda.

I think I'm going to add to my long here at 1.6255. I might get burned, but what the hell, it's only money.

I can't even imagine playing with that kind of money!

I hate to leave, but I have to go for awhile. TP and SL set. I'll either come back with a smile or a big frown.

Good luck everyone!

Hi bro!

Yes we can now see the bearish engulfing pattern on the daily. The sellers can take control here or loose it. I'm short from 6477 currently and would like to see much lower.

trick is to neither smile when winning, nor frown when losing,

That's right bro! Remove the emotions. A good trade doesn't make you a good person just like a bad trade doesn't make you a bad person. It's just a trade. Accept your position and your risk and let it happen.
