I've taken a position now, later than planned but if it plays out as I expect then that doesn't really matter. Let's see what happens.

ps - sorry for using the word expect but I took what I saw

Better? I don't know what it's better than but it's certainly good enough...

Price seems to be slowly battling through the ma's on all time frames. Fingers crossed..

I'll post my 4h when it closes in 20m. First target price on longs in the 545 area I think.

This Mrs. has only moved 14 pips in the last 50 minutes. Pretty pointless to try and "guess" where she might go right now, no?....

Who's guessing? I have several conditions supporting a long. There's no guarantee it'll play out of course but I have some target prices ready if it does. What exactly is it you do in your down time when price only moves 14 pips/hour? I plan for when it gets going either way

Well you're currently holding a position right? At least according to this post of yours...

So I can understand you're having targets based on whatever that position is. I'm flat right now after taking 99 off a short so since this can go either way, I'll wait for some solid PA to tip it's hand before making any plans...

As far as what I do when I'm waiting? I study...

nice job on the short. I missed it but took the long at 458, my second long was a poor choice though. I'm short from the start of this hour but am still expecting a reversal north for now.
