We're close to starting all over on the daily. The open and close are nearly the same!

Come on September!

and I'm up over 250 pips on the Mrs. alone!

Where's that smart ass that said we're "trying to pick bottoms and tops in an upwards market?"

Think I'll catch some lunch and go back for a second look at that powered paraglider. I think I need to buy that damned thing!

Good luck all!

If we were in a fucking upwards market, why is it that my weekly candles open price at 6514 is only 10 pips away from where price is right now?

We're in a sideways market right now and will continue until probably mid sept/october.

I was talking with PippiNole this morning, I said we'd probably end the day around 6525. Let's see how the day ends.

Nice move she made though!

as the trigger candle had almost no wick would it have been better to enter 20-30 pips lower?

like EO mentioned a couple of days ago

but 35 pips stop from close of trigger candle wouldn't have been enough anyway

She was on a mission at that time. That setup doesn't always work out, but it does more than not. You saw the long I took and endured a 40 pip drawdown just to get +3.

How annoying - I was waiting for the 1.662x figure to take a short -then someone came into the office at the crucial moment and I completely missed the whole move.

We'll see how it plays out, I didn't pull it off of fibs. Funny how it lines up though!
