I have just read the last 6 pages of this thread.
What a communal diatribe!
I am not sure why, but this thread has recently degenerated and become infested with braggarts and "wannabee's".
If you are personally upset by my comment, thats okay. I am just making an observation.
I wish you all...
I think i see alot of people posting technical analysis/charts and giving reasons why they are going long or short and also telling about their open positions etc. Isn't that what interactive trading is all about? I mean we are all humans and there's gotta be the human element involved here as well, there will be emotions , excitement, jokes etc. otherwise this would be a very DULL Mechanical system sort of thing where we just come and post/read the charts & go away!
I respect your observation but I think you should also respect the freedom and liberty which every individual enjoys here (as long as there is no insult or anything personal) . If you are that much concerned, you should have your own thread, set your rules and let only the ones post there who suits and match your criteria!
Peace!

Mornig Patience around 200 pips for the week, expecting another 100 for the rest of the week?
We are only 780 pips away from doing last year's yearly range
Sentiment index is as it should look for further USD losses though. I'm just about to check out my USDX charts but the fact that it punched through 75.00 today suggests to me that more losses are probably to come. It hasn't filled my gaps yet either (further down) - lol
