I just pulled the trigger early at 6555. I'm crazy again for the roll!
Not crazy bro!... I took some profit at that price just now.. I see it testing 6590 though ...

It went up as I was typing...

I'm afraid my SL might be too tight.

No, this is a complete contra trade. I will start TP at the ma's yes, but it's not looking good atm.
I think the short has great possibilities once 659x holds...

Back from lunch, my remaining position was closed out at BE. No worries here. I'd like to see a short position in my account around 658x to run it back down again. I'm on the hunt!!

I had this feeling we'd test 6590 again but I'm having doubts now. Had a short at 6562 and booked half at +12. Covered the rest at +3 but it was too soon and got hit...LOL

It's the only trade I've done today as I'm trying to get caught up on the PDF.

Just have some patience! I think we'll see the price we want around 3:30pm which is in about an hour. I'd like this to be my zinger trade for the week. We've got some nice distance between price and the m15 35 and that's what I look for on these zingers. They do take time to develop, but by the time people start pushing price, we'll already be at the top!

That's where I'll be putting it yes, but we might have missed the boat. She's headed for the m15 21 atm.
