Newbie question what exactly does it mean when you say you coved 5564

Do you put your stop there to get out or did you place a sell stop order just below for a retrace.... could you explain
Thanks

Covered means closed my positions. Not looking for another entry yet, the next 30 minutes is going to be key here to see if I want to join another ride, definitely not looking to short from here.

G/A all.

Howsoever you plot it - the 4hr/daily descending channel has been breeched to the upside by the goldman inspired comments re more U.s Qe needed $ sell-off ($1 trillion m,ore in their view !)

A lot of breakouts today across various instruments,cable shown below and the beginnings of an ascending channel on both 4hr (shown below) and 1hr ?

You are so right cloggie. I was watching this thread this morning and watching unnecessary losses only because of lack of patience to wait for the firm moves.Some lucky and some unlucky but none the less, most were risky.

Once some of these guys here learn that not being in a trade actually is a trade, their succesrate will jump with leaps and bounds.

Yep, the hardest part of trading is knowing when to lay low.

be carefull for your CT at this moment bro ....

Take care .....
With the majors, I am set +438 on the day.

So...Even if I lose this trade or come out dead ass even...I still have little to worry or bitch about, and way more then enough room for this thing to carry.

Cloggie, Im just interested in why you don't think the Fib line at 23.6 (approx 1.558) will hold. Or do you wait confimation either way?

Interestingly, above current price 5645 is the 50% of 5997-5296 move and 1.618% fib extension of the 5530-5339 move...this may well be an upside target for the bulls ??

She kind of did:

I'm holding a long - do you think it will reach 1.6 today?

Bit of a blond moment, but we all knew what she meant. Most of us "older" guys know how to translate womenspeak, we learned the hard way.

It was silly of me to go short based on the descending channel alone i guess. I will learn as much as i can here. Hopefully il be in your position watching some other noob before too long.
