The breakout this morning was a clean breakout. I hope many of you got on the northbound train and bagged some nice pippage. I know I did.
Hi EO, Nice to see you back. Hope you had a nice rest. Yes I caught the long at 6344. Closed half at 6544 and the rest at 6554. Best trade to date since I've been learning your method.

Excellent job Chris!
Finally learning "how" to fish buddy....

Currently short at 6560. Not so convinced of this one but I'll hold it for a bit.

Thank you sir. I wasn't expecting a move that big but, gotta get lucky once in a while....

Just booked half my 6560 short at 6536 and covered the rest +3.

I read, sorry to hear that man. My low overnight was 323, a bit higher than yours, so it was mighty close. The same has happened to me before--overnight spikes--it's infuriating but you just have to shrug your shoulders and hit the next trade

I do pray that many of you have gotten in short! As well, my h4 that closes in 15m will close as a DBHLC, we all know what this means.

Shoulders shrugged and shorted at 6560... won't compensate but back on the horse....

Hey Chris I think together is a good way and with that said I look forward to Cisco and Ken getting back here to keep us trainees in check

Added a 25 pip trailing stop to it. SL is now at 6530

EDIT: Might back that SL off though.....

Does this mean that it should fall a lot further?

The "potential" for it to is there. But nothing is absolute in this business.

The price is above all MA`s on my 4h chart.Interesting is that some kind of retrace,or she`ll continue down

Well that's lunch for me. Short from 6560 with profit booked and profit locked in. No better feeling in the world than being able to walk away knowing that.....

See you folks later and good luck with your trades....

Ken and Cisco, if you're out there watching, you're missed.

on the 15m the mas are converging and forming resistance. the h4 has a dbhlc so there is good reason to be looking short atm

What made you take the plunge @ 6344 and holding it until 6544? I was long too somewhere but out for 20 pips gain.

Based on yesterdays high and the 4 hr support 1.644xx looks like a good place to go long to me, anyone else feeling that?
