Morning guys and gals
New week, fresh eyes, fresh thoughts, unfortunately rotten trades.

If you have time today EO would you offer your thoughts on these two trades I would have taken during london session.

Luckily I kept my promise and did not open my live account because clearly I would have screwed up again.
Rob, I'm glad these trades were on DEMO. I did them opposite of what you should have. I've made some notes on your chart. I hope this helps!

No such luck for me to play this weekend! I don't get to play as much as I use to. In time, this will change, so I'll just bide my time.

EDIT: Outstanding job on breaking your handicap! I know that feels good!

You should have just book some profit and covered the rest of the position here at 6450. Look left and you'll see why!

I played a round with one! I was very pleased with it myself! I play with Wilson Fatshafts, but the last time I went to FL, I didn't take my clubs because of the hassle. So, I used a set from the clubhouse, all Taylor Made. I was pleased with all the clubs myself.

Good morning Cisco!

It very well good be the turning point. I have not changed my position from my shorts, but once PA tells me to get out, I'll move to the other side. Good eye on the trendline, but I would like to see 6390 on this h4 that is currently working.
