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.
Good job bro!

Shit happens on my loss earlier, I would like for the current position upside down to work out and I'm using the 6450 as my floor right now. We take it out, I will accept my loss and wait for a new setup.

If anybody is watching EJ you should take note of the 1 hr break and retest of the 50/62 area. When she finally closed below it she retested the ma's and carried on down. Good for about 70 pips if you weren't already short.

She better hurry and go back up to re-test that 4h tl she busted through today........ like it was butter.

I am not going to sell till it pulls back some....... so i guess i will have to keep on trying to turn her. It would be nice if she would at least pull back enough to take a little profit off before she crashes back through your stop.

I have a short running from earlier and a short po on the 21ema for first strike.

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.

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.
Glad to be back guys...Good to see you!

Hey bro, take a look at your daily. Do you see buyers here at 6440? I also see them on my h4, just no strong PA on our lower tf to support it atm.

I see the areas bro! But it's the higher tfs that got me in trouble with my earlier long entries.... we need solid pa on the lower tf's to support a good reversal which does'nt seem to be happening today...

Your right! I can't see solid PA on our lower tf's either, but we are at the 38.2% retracement of our fall, so WTF, I can't short it here, Long at 6437, SL at 6400.

I can see it taking out my newest position, but like I said, I cannot short her at this price. My shorts are doing just fine. I've booked more profit on them here at 6440, rest is setting nice and green.
