I did Bro I would not be surprised if 662x does not hold the way this week has gone, anything is possible.


I guess you in as well
I'm only in on the mistress from 134.55, I should have reversed when she touched the m15 35, but I was on the phone and I didn't have the chart up, I was watching the Mrs.

I'm working my demo today and trying to get a handle on this system.

Made a few pips this morning on some longs but not doing so good as of right now though....lol

Typically, I don't trade Fridays unless it's pretty obvious. I had a 6464 long I was in this morning that I sure wish I'd held onto...lol
Sounds like you are going about in the right way even though you got out with a profit that is a good thing there are loads of new trades just around the corner, something to think about if you take off most of it and leave some to run with a trailing stop could work for you this way if the remainder dies you are still smiling

Glad I went shot at 87 then!

This is a dangerous position because of the bogus news we have that's getting ready to be released.

I don't use trailing stops, I have nothing against them, I'm not fluent enough to use them. I always seem to set it too tight.

What's the size of your trailers your use David?

For the most part I do leave some but I honestly thought she was turning around so I figured I'd take it all...lol

I use trailing stops a lot when she's moving hard and fast. They work really well for me even though I get kicked out before the whole move is over "most" times. I still make good pips though.

I am watching USDJPY and she has been falling nicely though if 93.47 holds ej and gy could head back up

Eyeballing 667x now, we've gotta clear 6620 though. Notice how price has stalled.

congrats to anyone who could buy the 3pm open (this hour). I know it's a shaved bottom but I just couldn't buy a 1h or 15m looking like that. Rather scary for a long

I think once old blabber mouth starts talking, the dollar will rise some. That's purely a gut feeling though. Nothing else.

The easier path was long rather than short at the turn of the h1 and close of the m15. Notice how the m15 closed on the 10? My SL was under the 21.

I don't know, I can't be convinced about it unfortunately. My 1h closed lower than last hour and looking like an awful dragonfly doji (okay it wasn't quite at the top of the run up...). There are lots of ways to make money in this market, luckily many less frightening than a long up here
