That gj would have been a nice one. I had a time like that a couple of months ago where my calls were sound but stops too tight to get into it safely. It's bloody frustrating...

I'm employing a new stop policy of daily ATR/2 roughly (14 period) in general, combined with a glance at D/W/M pivot points support & resistance etc. In search of the holy grail stop...

Short EG 8323 stop -31

Short eu 12826 & add to it at 12870, stops around 12925. Long ninja 8380 stop around -30. Holding eg short. Doing all this on the london underground so a bit on the hoof! Hopefully US data doesn't take out my stops, been there before.

I apologize to anyone using a contrarian strategy based on my July - August trades, but September comes and Pippenworth K. 5000 can't be held down.. unless of course you work for the IRS, in which case, yes, you can hold me down..

In closing, I'm looking good again.. caught two good ones this week including a huge one (no gay jokes).. I'm back on track with 5 months of reserves.. still frustrated and gun shy but facts is facts.. I showed a $2,000 profit this week

I usually play the rebound off of a key resistance level P.P when area in the same are can prove to be especially strong.

Long USD/JPY.

I believe the purpose of quoting a message is to quote it rather than to alter it contrariness?

That guitar player looks like he's probably from the USA, or he's definitely been here, OR he's been to McDonald's at least! I swear he was in my Geometry class in high school.... or maybe it was the McDonald's close to my high school??? I just don't know.. to look like that and make fun of the USA is pure contrarianness..

nice EU resistance at 1.29 .. I'm in with a buy stop at 1.291 s/l -25 .. no target .. it looks like it will fall to Europe to make the decision.
