there should be a lot of resistance in this area up to 6370 I think. Looks like tweezers on the 15m

bittersweet at a 100 pip gain. do I cut her here or let it ride for more... My long term and short term brains are definitely in conflict here.

For sure... once you get a couple 100 pip live trades under your belt you'll definitely get the marbles to let your trades develop a bit more. Moving stops into profit really helps as even if it turns ugly you'll still get a shiny nickle for your efforts....

Not that I'm an expert or anything... but lurking this thread has changed my style to look at the longer timeframes and be patient enough to make trades that actually have reason behind them instead of what used to be turn on the computer.. and snap predict to buy or sell. Once you figure in the spread, I might as well have been playing roulette at the local casino!


off to bed, might get some things cooking up later this afternoon, but for now I'm flat... taking the money and laying down. Good trading to all
