I'm on the short bus myself now from 6420... I think 632x is reachable...
I have a little trend line on the 4hr she has run into.

Hi infinity, i'm with you in the bus. I enter early, and i had an ugly drawdown... -35 pips, but now is green...

I see an inverted cup and handle in GU and GJ, in minor TF til 1H, so i think we can reach 1.633x (monthly pivot) or even 1.628x (weekly)

Good luck!!

Hey bro! Glad to see your on the short bus. I would like to see 632x, but then maybe?

... I've taken another short from 6550, I still have my long position open as well, covered green. Not necessarily looking for a run to 6260 from here, but I believe we will pullback. SL on my shorts are at 6570.....
Where ever she goes, I've booked good pippage on all my positions thus far this week. I had TP on most of my shorts from 6550 at 6400, but reloaded at 6485 today during the US Session. Booked some good pippage on those as well. So, I welcome the 632x area with open arms. We need to clear 6380 and we will see the 632x I believe. So, longs out of this area currently with TIGHT SL might yield some nice pippage to 658x.

We'll catch up in the US Session. I'll be online through the London open, then time for sleep for me..

Hey guys, I hope you got some good trades in today... I was on the road for most of the day... only managed two trades.. from 6390 to 6480 and from 6400 now locked in and covered... I had a really messed up start to the asia/london session where I had 2 losses.. but that's how it is... subsequent trades were better...

I see double bottom on h4, h1 and m15...... Here's my view for the next hours...
Excellent attitude bro!

I took a short after the 9:15 EST IB. If you didn't get in on that entry you could have taken a short after the 1hr bearish engulfing around134.00. If you didn't take that entry you could have taken the retest of the Ma's on the 15 min around 133.64 and if you didn't like that one you could have taken the retest of the 1hr 62 at 133.36. Which one did you take?


No bullshit about it, you've got it done bro.

What is EO doing?? Where is he?
Sorry bro! I posted earlier, that I was golfing last Friday and then a Honey Do Surprise list I was working on over the weekend while the wife was out of town.

Thanks for the concern! I hope your trades have been good! PippiNoles explaination is absolute text book. No emotion, the PA that moved price and the opportunites to get in when the boat leaves without you.

Wow 1 year ago ...In fact I joined on the day cable fell from grace. I think I was trying to buy cable all the way to the bottom... and still trying to sell her all the way to the top... .....
Congrats to you and Shilva on your 1yr anniv.! If you've been trading with live money for the year and haven't blown your account, your ahead of most.

I kept a part of your post because I did buy it all the way down and I also sold it, it's all about the entry bro. That's what we try and show day in and day out. I hope our system is showing that!

Keep up that hard work bro! I want to see you on your 2 year anniv and hear that you've double your account 5x since your 1 year.

Thanks wise guy. I had some help from our resident chart posting guru Kenneth Lee over the weekend. Thanks Ken. So if you see to many screwed up charts from me it is his fault for guiding this computer idiot through the process.

sorry I am late with this. My 4h closed 40m ago and, obviously, is quite bullish (piercing pattern--8h hammer?--and stochs oversold). However 16450 could be a sticking point for obvious reasons, not to mention broken trendline (which it seems to be ignoring for now)
