I'm just kicking myself for covering so soon.. I should have just left my original stop above 66 on... oh well..
Guys you always wait one m15 candle to close, after entering the trade to cover the position, or just after a 20 pips move?

It depends on the mood I'm in... I don't have a set rule there.. but I normally cover after 20 pips on these types of trades... I prefer to enter again if possible than to let a winner turn into a loser...

It depends on how she's moving. Like what happened to Infinity, he covered too quickly, I've done the same many of times. When we go against the grain, it's better to book some and cover and be taken out, then to book nothing and have a loss. Even if our SL is tight, I would rather have +0 than -20.

Yeah bro!... I saw the news about John Hartson.. I hope his surgery goes well... Arsenal will be challenging next season even if Ade goes... The just have to replace him with a proven goalscorer...

I got a new seat at 6430 btw on this chick...

you are right EO, +0 is much better than let the winner turn to a looser

get 25m for a player who misses sitters and replace him with a goalscorer. Sounds like a plan

That's how it goes bro... As Eo stated.. when you are taking counter trend trades you have to be more cautious... so it is better to protect your profit as soon as possible.. It will work out more often than not...

Buyers will be found at 6410 - 6400. Let price come back to pick you up for the ride. I don't believe the long train is over just yet. We have bearish intent on the m15, but this is probably just some simple squaring of positions.

Did anyone get in long? She came down and picked up buyers.
