Before you leave, go and look at EJ. You see how she bounced back up to the top and everyone went back short in the 138.6x area?

If we ever miss a move, we can usually wait patiently and jump on.

Yep I was able to grab a few more from there insted of being stopped I watched and added what I had taken Off .. But closed it all the way before going to lunch Friday and all..

hey guys i got my ass handed to me today my timing was all off. good news my long gu trade covered bad news i still lost almost 300 pips overall.

that is already history. i reread the pdf and ill look over my charts this weekend. im excited to trade with you guys next week. hopefully i can get on the right track.

anyway guys have a nice weekend enjoy some family time coz that is so important. ken enjoy a crown on the rocks lol eo maybe you can build a tool shed or a gazebo or something lol!! i don't know (something made of wood) me im an electrician...
John, I'm sorry about your lost soldiers! 300 pips in a day loss is too much my friend! We cannot let that happen again ok? Now, as to next week and what's to come, more pips (GREEN ONES THIS TIME FOR YOU) Don't stress out today's turn of events. I'm sorry you didn't manage the zinger trade. I collected 30 positive pips from the trade, then remaining was stopped out at BE. Entry is key when we intraday trade. HTF knowledge is key as well and coming from J16, you should understand your h4 candles very well.

Read your PDF this weekend, drink some beer, talk to Bob or whatever you do to relax and come back fresh for next week.

Enjoy your weekend and welcome to the thread!

I have a BlackBerry so it doesn't work on my phone.

I wish I could though. I have to call my brokers directly if I want to place an order when I'm not at my trade screen.

Turtle's broker allows him to enter trades and manage them through his BlackBerry, but he does not have any charts, just price and entries.



Same with Oanda.

I may be making the trip to Tally Town tomorrow (60 miles round trip) so I thought I would make a stop at Verizon. Looks like a Curve or maybe the HTC Ozone. I can't see putting out the money for the new Tour if I can't pull up charts on it.

You'll like your Curve if you get one. Nice web ability, email, full keyboard. It's good. I enjoy mine!

60mile round trip to get to a Verizon store. Damn brother! I hope your friend Mr. Crown can wait for you that long.

EO thanks again for creating such a great thread - learnt a lot this week sitting in - from everyone who contributes.

Feel it in my trading and in my head that constant tension has really eased off - using 15min really tightens things up.

Hope everyone has a restful and happy weekend.

Cheers.

Doesn't look like you can get charts either though... Might think about a Mini p/c.. Really cheap and you have the air card already..

I hate to leave, but I've gotta run. Something has just come up that needs my immediate attention. I'm leaving my remaining short on GU going, SL is at +200. I'll have some charts this weekend to post.

Everyone enjoy your weekend and like my twin always says

"Don't forget to party !!"
