My short was nothing more than a text book short. If you don't believe me, go look at your h1 ma's and tell me what you see.
I see a bounce on the 1H 62 ema that I didn't take!

Was that it?

Hey guys, sorry I have not been around much but been busy as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. I made some nice pips today on eur/jpy and gbp/jpy. I am flat at the moment and will try to post some charts later.

I have my eye on the 1.6285 area for a short but I guess I will wait and see how the candles line up!

If you think that free health care actually means free health care then I suspect You've been hanging with Puff the Magic Dragon.

If you can show me how you add more than 30 million people to the health care roles and not have it raise taxes then I want some of what you're smoking.

Now if you'll excuse me, the sun is nearly down here and it's time I put my adult depends on before I go to bed.

But I was watching one of your news channels a little while ago and there was a black guy in a suit saying it would be free!

Being Canadian, trust me when I say that I know the costs of "free" health care. I see how free it really is every time I get a paycheck and 40% of it goes to taxes.

Here is a Temptress trade I'm in. Temptress has been really good to me lately. The Mrs. is getting a little jealous I think, but don't worry ladies, there is enough Captain to go around.

Small pin off one of the 50's. I like these Asian session trade off the 50's because you can get away with a small stop. 6 pips in this case.

SHORT entry after M15 pin bar at PPA.

Do you think that the MA's can hold her to get into my target?

I'm in the same trade, there is an H1 trendline helping us as well as the m15 50's, but some 1 hour and 4 hour ma's right under us. Put your SL to BE and let's let her ride it out.
