I did not close and reverse because we closed above the h4 5/10.... I think we will be heading higher this week....
I can see the northward march, even though we've got what looks like a hanging man on the current daily.

I'm still holding long from 6250 last week and have added to it a number of times...as well as a few shorts in the secondary account.

If you cock your head, squint your eyes and cross your left testicle over your right shoulder you'll see a prehistoric serpent. That's a very bullish pattern! :nerd:

Ahhhhh...now I understand the problem. You were supposed to cock your head to the left.

Good job! We could be in for one hell of a ride north. The 666x is an area I've had my eyes on for a while. She bounced when she got there, but I'm not confident in it holding long. Buying the dips at this point is the better play. We're at end of month and end of quarter and half way through the year.

Trade well! Use your SL and smart mm and lets bag some green pips.

Smart money management. Do you know what your SL should be before you enter a trade? You should. Do you know what percentage you're willing to risk on a trade? You better.

A comment was made earlier about a position in which Infinity and I were going against the grain. No worries about the comment, I'm not offended nor is Infinity. We will go against the grain at the key areas. I would hope everyone saw 666x as an area where sellers would be sitting. If not, go look at any chart from h1 or above and you'll see them. If I was trading during the Asian open to now, when she broke 659x, she was going to 666x. The 15m should the level of resistance, but the penant played for the long as the pattern should once the breakout occurs. So, not to ramble about the current market, but to the fact that I would have shorted the hell out of price when she got to 6660 with a tight SL. My sl would have been for 30 pips and I would have booked profit at 30 and covered the rest. Clearly this is an against the grain trade, but the resistance was there and sellers were waiting for it, I hope some of you were on that train.

Break 666x, we go to 669x, retest 666x then climb more. The daily looks like she's ready to breakout like a greyhound. I can see 7000 and the psychological amount of sellers sitting there. We might get there very soon!

Flight control come in, are we cleared for launch?
