Yep, I still have mine. For how long?

The news in 10 minutes will likely spike my +1 stop out.

Yeah, lasting 3 hours or more has always been my way...

It's hard for me to adjust to the shorter term.
just apply that philosophy to trading

But seriously Sailor, this is where trade managemnet comes in too. Backing off my stop may have cost me more profit but overall, I'm still rather confident in this trade.

Sometimes it pays, other times it costs. Let's see what it does this time.

I sure am glad I have the 3 ladies to rely on because when one isn't putting out (the pips) one of the others is usually more than willing!

Not I.

I've been waiting to see if it bounces off good daily S/R at 131.24 for a possible short.
