It might happen or not, NO ONE can predict the future.

But you can allways hope

that was a great move. We're at the 61.8 area of last week, 480.

no kidding, what a nice sight to wake up and see. Closed half at 150 pips and we all will see where this goes from here.

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone got a nice piece of the fall! I know I did and still in it short. I'm not sure how much I'll be around today, I'm busy with the office and other BS.

Trade well guys!

I went long at 6420. We might see a further fall, but at this point I'm locked in profit.

1 year ago today Lehman went out of business. 1000 pips day was fairly common on the volatility that was going on.

That afternoon there were a couple 400 pip moves and it was suspected it was Lehman closing accounts. What a difference 1 year makes.

It is like watching paint dry today.

Guess that will be the "back in the day" stories.

Soon as i posted that and gave up for the day she moves 100 pips. Caught me with my back turned...... blew right through my stops on my shorts from 6470 area at the start of NY session. Good thing i had taken most of the profits off!

I missed that trade off 6400 area cause it would of been the 3rd time today i tried to turn her......goes to show u need to trade the signals cause u never know which one will pay off.

I did grab the short at 6500 on the 4h 5sma and 50ema, 1h 200sma and 15m 50sma. That will teach her to try to get away!

Hay 4Fun....nice shooting!

Could someone comment on whether this 7.30 (UK time) candle is a tradable dbhlc as there is about 3 pips difference between the highs of the candles that are producing the pattern.thanks

Morning all

This hit a chord with me Shilva. I did the same thing, attempted to find a reversal three times on the way down and failed to get in on the fourth

Lets see what today brings. 16 pips up on the 15min 35/50 cross this morning..
Today's plan: hold onto the green pips.

Anyone get on board the Mistress short this morning? I took her at 133.56 on the 1H double top. Booked some and SL is now at 132.88.

I sold off too much of my position too fast but still, all green and one soldier left running....

Also have a short at 4705 on EU but she's just hovering right now.

Been waiting and looking to short the Mrs. off the 1H/62/50 at 6530ish

Yeah bro, that is the beauty of eo's trading.....focus, pull the trigger, get a good entry, take profits and cover. If it is not time for a reversal yet let it stop u out and then repeat the process. Never give up!

I picked up 30 or 40 trying to turn her before she was ready.

Trust the signals and take the trades. No losses! It's soooooo simple, don't make it harder then it is.
