Sure wish I was up for the opportunity to add on to the short at the 21 ema earlier. Eo is that where you got on board?
That's where I jumped on 133.90 is my short price on her.

took a quick 8 off e/j not awake yet but like starting with a win no matter how small mental thing.. Didn't have enough on it to leave any on, didn't want a big loss if I was wrong.

I also see a line I have on GBP at 162.15 is still holding..

BY the way for everyone. Believe it or not I draw all my lines over the weekend. and don't move them unless I run out of them . Then I have to look for more.

In other words they aren't being added as price bangs off them they are all ready there.
Good job on your quick pippage!

I do believe you have that line Ken! I have it as well, but not from prior, but from the range that has been created. Do you find them possibly distracting from when she truely breaks out and starts to move that causes you to TP too quickly and not hold your trade longer?

Hello Dirral.. Hope your doing well..
Hello Ken,

I'm good thanks, hope you are too.
I've not been able to spend much time at the screen this past week or so. A small matter of the Ashes between England and Australia took priority.

Nice boat by the way.

Not yet ,, I do like having them there , I don't hold anything long enough as of yet. But they could also show where to scale out and add back on off a bounce. Just like now we had a 32 pip bounce of E/J that turned right on the 21 EMA.. I hope one day to capitalize on those small pullbacks.. In real life my best EVER trade as only ever been 70 pips. That was a GBP/JPY .. long time ago.

215 broke on the GBP now a retest maybe.

You guys definitely take that pretty seriously. I know another thread member, who I will leave unnamed, who went on about a 3 day drunk while watching the match.

Could someone put a big buy in on EJ. I was crazy enough to go long at 133.32 and would like a few more pips out of her.
