I agree, I actually see 672x as our area for target on our long positions. I'd rather price hold here instead of going to 646x-7x first.
Same here..

Quite possible bro! Buyers are weak so far... Where's Pippi and Cisco? They need to put a few lots on her...
Cisco is probably feeding the horses and Pippi is probably in the pool drinking his Crown.

Nope! We shouldn't have taken them bro! But we have because of what we see and there's nothing wrong with that. There was reason behind our positions.

Now, all those US traders headed off to lunch can start squaring their positions anytime.

Speaking of lunch, I'm going to go grab some. My SL and TP points are set. Be back in about 1h.

That's right bro! I took this trade mainly based on higher tfs so I expect it to take longer to play out... but I also know where my line is drawn to take the loss if it crosses..

We'll get out of this one just fine I believe. Then we'll revisit this area again today during the US Session to get in at better prices with bigger positions. I've only got 1/2 my normal position size on it because of entering off the HTF's. No worries here bro!

See you in about an hour.

I'm here, bro. Been running errands all morning long with more to do this afternoon, so it doesn't look like I'll be doing any investing today. There's always tomorrow.

Right now my backbone feels like it's rubbing my belly button so I think I'll grab some lunch before I head back out.

Nice to see you back in the saddle. This place just isn't the same without you.

My View:

I favour long positions at the moment, looking for a current retest of the previous highs. If we fail at previous highs, then, lower we go. It's as simple as that. Previous lows must be takenout for me to alter.

My view has been altered.........lol. short term bearish now....but....overall, bullish.

Back from lunch and she came within 5 pips of my SL on my long position. Wish I could have see the mid 645x's to add to my position.

Great to see you back!

I have been taking care of some online business this morning so I haven't checked in on you guys.

I have been short since 6714 and added back once at 6636. I'm currently long at 6453 off a trend line I have on a 3hr chart. I have been spanking the Mistress from the top and played her long a couple of times also.

Good afternoon EO and everyone. I hope you guys have been spanking the ladies.

Good afternoon EO and everyone. I hope you guys have been spanking the ladies.
I added shorts at the 6636 area this morning to my short position I carried over the weekend, but I've had one loss on a long position on the Mrs. and upside down on another long position I have as well. So, no, I've not been spanking her at all today, probably the other way around.

Sorry to here that bro.

I took a small 10 pip loss on a long at the 6500 area.

I have 20 pips in the bank on this long and I'm at BE. If she comes back I'll find another seat.

EO,

On this down move (GU).... and looking for a turning
point for a long entry or S/L with an existing long do
these MA's found on the higher TF charts factor into the
trade setup?

Yes completely! The HTF ma's are what I use to determine my SL's. I place them on the other side of the ma's.
