For those whose h4 closes in 12m, we will have an IB (DBLHC). I don't recommend going long on the turn of the h4, however, buyers will be sitting at 5425 ready to pounce. She could just range out for the rest of the session. EJ might follow suit. Now, if GU spikes to 552x, we will see a new round of sellers.
Thanks for the info bro!!

Doing well bro! I do use fibs, but on a much higher TF than the m15, h1, h4, daily. I have a fib that I've been playing on my weekly from the top 2.116 to the bottom at 1.3501. Other than that, I don't play with them. I'm not that fluent with them as some are. My ma's and pa tell me what I need to see for intraday trading.

those of us who were long on EJ with profit booked and covered at BE. Watch now for PA on the m15 to give us a flat candle close NO WICK! I will be long on it again without thought.

short @ 1.5460

Got out +3
I hope you got back in or atleast not kicking yourself in the ass! You were a little premature on your entry, but you had some major ma's on the m15, h1, h4 right above your head. No worries bro! There will always be another trade.

Ok, if anyone is going to play the IB on the h4 that just closed, just realize, if we take out 5395, se will see 536x. Set your positions appropriately and trade well. NEVER TRADE WITHOUT A SL! Take a 20 pip hit and get your ass back into the saddle, you'll make it up quicker than sitting on a shitty position and wondering WTF is going to happen.

I'm off to lunch. Shorts are covered, longs are covered.

Yeah I know but have had a great day trading and figured that may be my last trade for today and I did not want to end it on a bad trade.

You've had a damn good day brother! Walk away and go do something else for the rest of the day. Let everything reset and be ready to battle again come Euro/London.

Good job today! I on the other hand, am too damn addicted to the pippage that I can't quit. It's better than any drug I've ever done and almost as good as sex. Almost being the key word!

It is very hard to get up and walk away but if the sun would come out I think I would have to take a motorcycle ride and clear my head, and maybe even ride the girlfriend..., on the motorcycle of course!!

I wondering if I'm looking at the same charts as EO?? Your good EO! I'm lacking your vision

What the heck is an IB? Also, I see the GU coming down after looking at my upper TF's.

they got bought out by td ameritrade so that's where my charts are coming from? would it be of any use to change the time zone on my computer?
