Good morning to all,


I used the worksheet today and worked perfectly!!!On th M15 the first break out down was false but closed under the 50ma so i went long..i closed that long at the top of that range...After the breakout i was waiting for the retest but it just went up 70 pips strait so i missed that long, but i went short at 6400 chased down near the ema 21...according the worksheet i went long again by the ema 21 made some pips and the rest stopped out at be,because it retested the 50ma ...I trusted in your experience and went long again...
Sounds like your having a better day than yesterday!

Good job! Do your homework and it'll payoff as you can see.

Excellent bro! I had my TP set at 6390, 6420 and now I've booked more profit on my long position at 6450. I have one soldier left on the field and covered at +100.

Good job!
Excellent job yourself bro! I was awake when she started to fly so I removed my tp po... when I saw the stalling at 6400 I decided to close most of the trade and set the stop higher. I closed out the rest at 6455.. short now from 6458. took 20 pips already on her and covered...

I'm short 1.6460. The 618 fib of this current retracement was 1.6450 so I set a pending order figuring that price would overshot a bit. I was encouraged also because of the last hourly candle that closed. I've already taken some off the table and set my s/l to +3.

Thanks, but like you said. It doesn't look like it's going very far.

On mine it's showing closer to 6500 but it could be also be interpreted as hitting the top already, depending on how it is drawn...
