Kind of breaking the rules here a bit, no? 15m Ma's pointing at 5 O'clock?

I'm glad I pulled out of that 6417 long at BE anyway....LOL Think I'm looking at the 6380 area to see what it does there.
Considering that I have shorts on them both, I don't know. Notice I did say I couldn't resist the roll (fight, challenge, what have you).
Just digging in the trenches like everyone else!

True, I keep forgetting you can trade both ways at the same time. I've often thought of switching to an offshore account so I can as well. Don't have enough capital to open 2 US accounts.

I'd like to see the mistress reach the 134.70 area though. the 1H 50/62/150/200 all piled up there....

If the mistress gets there, I'll be adding to my position as well. My remainign GU long has been closed out at. I'll look later for another long on her lower down.

Hey everyone,
I am new to the thread and pretty much a newb trader (<1year). On the 15 minute EU, we seem to have crossed on the 200. Once the PA shows a reversal, would you expect a retrace to this level?

It seems a bit risky, considering we are now on the lower side of the 1hour 10ema, but I assume it will want to touch that level as well. Plus I see overall trend as up on the 1h and the 4h.

Thanks, and sorry if I mix up some of the rules...
Makin my way, the only way I know how...

We just got a doji on that same EU 15m, but the immediate action was kind of negative so I think I am going to hold off..

1.6407 was mentioned before by EO

1.6407 as a short term S/R that
has been tested and retested.

I'm short from 1.6405.... with a 5 pip SL

I just got filled again at 135.08. Dangerous yes, but we have so many high valued ma's for support under us!
7 pip total draw down, booked some profit at 135.20, rest is going to BE.

According to him, we're in a bull market? I sure hop his account can handle the drawdown from 1.70. He was saying the same shit when we were at 1.70.

A compliment to EO in "my" book....

If he spent half as much time trading as he does being a putz, he might get somewhere....

He sent me a pm acknowledging his presence. Wasn't that nice of him?

For someone who criticizes this trading method I'm a little puzzled why he would even come around. Doesn't seem very logical to me unless he's finally realized how badly he reads a chart.

As we are in a ranging market right now,when this turns around I would not be surprised to see it get back to where we have just come from
