Those who took the mistress short off the h1 62, WHY DID YOU CLOSE EARLY?

Next trade, I'm long on EJ from 127.23. Tell me if you know why.

I did ok on that, played short off the 1 hr close for around 20 and then let my long run back to 6235 and took it out there. I will learn to keep my eye on the bigger charts....

Far from being the man brother! Remember, I want to move the market 400 pips in both directions on Christmas day. Until then, I'm just a trader in the trenches with a shovel like everyone else.

Yes just took it.

Out for +11
My Pending was miss with just 2 pips. Why did u get out with 11 pips. This is the problem I am having with this system.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND EXCELLENT IS ATTENTION TO DETAILS.

I closed it at 127.4.

Long would be because of 15m flat close followed by inverted hammer
(but I didn't take it..)

HOLY CRAP the 15M looks INSANE!!
i hope there was lots of money made here cuz a lot of ppl out in the trading world (not me) got their asses handed to them.

i got lucky as my system goes. i turned my system on when it was touching 228 for the second time...shorted the snot out of it for a mere 15 pips...compounded of course..

and as i'm typing this i may get a second entry on 228 to short again.
SWEET!

I can't exacty remember.. I didn't like what the PA was doing. And it worked out well. I got out for 11 and then it ran back up and I took it again and let it run for 60.

And EO the reason I got out at +60 was because the price started running back up and it happens so much that I'm up huge and price runs back up and I end up closing for half of what I was up. Just wanted to lock it in I guess.. Something I need to work on.
