so far in asia i did 90 up and 280 down ... just hopping in and out and with volatility off the charts I should be happy and call it a week..

it may break down but ftse has one hell of a gap to close so I want to see what happens there
could be enough to take gu back up 100 pip or not
insane well 100 it night be ... 73 so far

lets see 250 pip drops 100 pip retraces ... symmetry and logic ... that would be just to much to ask for wouldn't it lol

I've been trading through the night, have not stopped since 6am yesterday morning...

This last drop is finished here and she is building a retrace, for how long? I don't even want to start a guess with the election results hanging over her. Franky opens in 6 minutes and I am sure they want their share too.
nice. Trooping through I see. I would be buying the retrace, but every time I've tried in the past I've been burned. Plus, with the elections going on over there it seems too risky and would be going against trend.

me,cloggie,kill, and a few others were literally in mid-chat while it was happenning live. It was crazy. I was watching cnbc here in the states, then turned around and saw I gained over 80 pips on my cable and fibre in like 2 minutes.truly epic. They're saying its some guy from citi.

interesting. I've stopped using charts a while ago (perhaps partly because I wasn't that good at it -- but mainly because I couldn't get away from the monitor - it was affecting my time with the family.

Now I more or so swing trade and doing consistently ok, but I'm sure with more self discipline and skills on the charts I would be doing really well.

Do you have to pay extra to get volume on yours?

I was freaking out. everyone was in general, but me being a newbie seemed more taken aback by it. Just kinda hit home just how historic those few minutes were.If you go back and read some of the conversation you can kinda tell just how crazy things were.
