I posted the link of the picture of her.
I missed the thong interlude you posted earlier she can take down my dictation anytime.

No wonder the Seminoles haven't been able to concentrate this year.

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

We got in the same time brother! 6279 was my entry price. Your exactly right, it's straight out of the textbook!

Excellent trading! Vouch for you my friend! Keep it up!

Hi EO,

I didn't remember something about range BO you've mentioned a couple of weeks ago. Searched the thread too but couldn't find it.

It had to do with fake breakouts and violent reversals. I think I remember, that you've said you would place stop and reverse orders to get taken into a fast move in the other direction.

We saw this a couple of times this month from the Asian range.

Can you elaborate again. Thanks

Cheers

That was one I couldn't resist. What i use as indi's said long all the way while it was consolidating so i sat with a VERY tight stop.. (5 pips) ..entered around the 6243 area and rode it to the first TP at 6273. Then shorted it for a few more.

Good morning traders!

The shorts from yesterday on the ladies really played out nicely during Asia last night. I hope everyone was still holding some soldiers on the battlefields or better yet added some reinforcements.

Yes trend was bearish, but i had bounce on a support area 6260 (15M), candle close,(hammer) bullish for me, stop loss at the bottom of the hammer, now i think better to look at 1H or 4h timeframe for a possible reversal and take a position on 15M.
Now im flat...

Prior to following this thread I would have had a hard time deciphering the back-n-fourth moves just before/during London and would have probably taken a step back until the dust had settled, missing the nice run up in the process.

Now, with a few solid guidelines/rules in place from this method, I just needed to stay disciplined and patient and let the trades show themselves. The 35/50 trades gave me green to start the day, and the breakout strategy gave me a clear signal to enter with confidence.

A good time to say thank you I think

I guess the market isn't expecting the news out of the UK to be too rosey today.
