You make profits after the bad beginning of the week?

Not so good. Breakeven day yesterday and this morning so far also.

I was thinking the GU and EJ would drop from this recent retrace but they are both looking stubborn enough to climb up some more.

Once again patience is the key

129 on e/j is hoding atm I am looking at 129. 70 especially if it closes above 1hr 50 its edgeing by the 4hr 10 could be a nice buy at this level.

So far I've made back a little more than half what I lost "this" week. Still need to get back what I coughed up last though..

I will but obviously it won't be this week...LOL If I can finish the week at BE for "this" week, I'll be happy enough.

I'm watching this myself. I'd like to see a 4H close above 129.30. To me, this would help confirm a rise. Currently working on the third hour now for me...

Quit trying to out think price, Let it tell you when a retracement or any other movement is going to stop. Take some profit and leave the rest to run and move your sl to b/e or a reasonable area. Often times you can tell what's happening just by looking at where the higher time frame S/R is in relation to the current price.

I'm not trying to pick on you. I think there a lot of others in the same boat.

I thought about going long at 129.13 but I have a resistance line at 129.21 and the 200 sma was also near that level. I wasn't brave enough to go long
