Nice problem to have. I am sitting on 250 pip profit on the EU...Hold for more to get to my targets further south? Take off all? Take off part?


Rufus

Chart is interesting.. At the 113 fib extension profit taking occurred...Price is stalled at the 161.8.

I don't know if everyone has the gap down I am seeing...But I went ahead and closed most at about 300 pips.

Gap looks to be a weird one. I see stuff about doubling debt for Europe, but who knows..at this point it may be only rumors

EU short

Closed out early. It was looking to be trading in a range. decided to focus on preservation of capital here. Double top in a supply zone with an engulfing bar south. About 10 pips

Going to call it a night.

Taking a break from reading "Atlas Shrugged"....Reading "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator"

I have read a lot...This book is my top 5 favorites, Maybe the top 2.

If I could type quicker I would put whole sections in here. This book goes into some great detail on some of the psychological issues most traders run into. Jessie Livermore was not a great trader right out of the gate, he went through a lot of the same things we all seem to run into sometimes.

It is a good read if some of you have not done so. I can't believe I haven't read it before now.

I have spent the spare time of last three days going over and fine tuning my trading plan. This is something I always enjoy doing, it makes me rethink why I do what I do.

Yesterday I also helped move my son out of the house...The last kid. Had a tendency to make me kind of pensive probably one of the reasons why going through my trading plan was so fitting.

My work load for the weeks ahead is looking to be massive. I have rehired a carpenter I laid off about a year ago. Now with extensive planning and following up on details hopefully I will still get in some quality trading time.

This brings me back to my trading plan. I will be also looking at more longer term positions, trading off higher time frames. Also considering placing pending orders at S/D zones.

Trade safe all....

Hi Peter

I don't use the harmonic patterns as a signal by themselves. I use them as further confirmation. I like putting fibs on everything. When I see a harmonic pattern as well it has more impact on my trading decisions. If all this happens to be in a S/D zone then I am really liking things.

I am going to be doing more pending orders and if I can get a lot of confluence for an area of interest it makes my decision that much easier. I also like these patterns because it helps me put more order to PA..... Besides they can be so pretty.
