Did you guys all get the short on GU? I'm short from 6404.
I'll let you keep the 5 pips you beat me by on the entry as long as you promise to put them towards computer lessons

Nice trade Bro!

I may have to take up a collection for paying for the computer lessons....Captains fees are pretty steep!

You could raise the cash by just trying a little harder with your trading. I don't think you're putting in enough effort

Mind you, I see that you hoovered up pretty much every pip on offer in the ping-pong game pre/during London open.

I suppose a rookie like myself can let you have a freebie as long as you continue to share your wisdom! I went short on the 3some as well, closed out early and grabbed some of the pips back that were stolen from me yesterday.

Wasn't looking and missed it! Looks to me like they are wanting to head back south soon. I'll be there for that.

You know that taking too many trades gives me a nosebleed.

I closed my short at some s/r I had at 16342 and then just scratched my a*s a while as she kept on going South. I didn't "expect" the 15m 50sma to have any say in the matter so the flat close didn't really register with my lonely brain cell.

Now looking like a retrace to the broken 35sma perhaps.

Along with all that Price action there also was a shooting star entry candle on the 15 Min.. Sometimes all the stars align..

I'm a little so I ended up entering after the 15m star/pin at 4/4.15pm GMT.

6400 looked like a good spot for at least a healthy pull-back with an opportunity to take profit and cover so the 4h, 1h and 15m candles served up a little confidence booster (always welcome in my case)

Dakrusha and I spanked her pretty good.
I managed two 35/50 trades (with flat candle closes to help suck me in) but that was it.

I missed the run up from 16235 around 8.45am GMT and also the long opportunity after she pulled back into the ma's at 9.15am, but finally managed to hitch a ride when she broke out of the range and then retraced to the range top for a long entry around 16280 at 9.45am GMT. Straight out of the EO textbook

The amount of typing you've done for the PDF and this thread in general I'm surprised your keyboard still works.

Unless you've got a secretary taking down your dictation. Ahem!
