Yes, there was a nice little short there and I had my price just 2 damn pips too high. Didn't get filled and she was already down 30 by the time I got to it.

I did grab 15 from 136.99 though, waiting now for the h4, h1 close and possible cross of the m15 35. Our m15 50sma is sitting right in line with the h1 10.
That sucks on the 2 pip miss. I bet if it was a stop it would have been hit.

I'll probably look for a seat during early Asian. I almost filled a Government Motors Corp. truck on the GU Gump trades this morning.

I've got my Government Motors truck pretty full right now as well.

Your right about it being hit if it were a stop. Just like my long on EJ has now decided to take off. I covered too quickly. I hate it when I do that! Shit happens and another trade please.

You'll load up again soon.

I didn't plan on trading this afternoon because I had to take my FIL to some appointments but will definitely be back at it this evening.

I did take the short at 6951.

I've booked 20 on the long I've taken and the rest is covered at BE. I'd like to see 694x area.
Gimme my 6940 please! I'll call it done one it's filled.

I hope your FIL is doing well!

You didn't miss much be taking the time away. I'll be back on this evening as well. Not sure if I'll make it during Asian open, but I will be on before my midnight h4 closes.

Ok, I'm impatient, I booked more profit at 6935, next target of 6970 which I don't see getting filled before being closed out at BE. Oh well!

AmeriTrini,

Lend me your eye bro! Is 1.70 going to hold her for a move back down since we've made this nice new high, or are we going to get rejected and continue into the 1.71xx area?

Just saw this!!! i say we will test the closest support and then continue upward..................

are you sure you have the 62 set as an eMA? Mine is 6860 and this is a couple hours later than when you posted
