Trying again from 4483...quite large...tight stops. I want a top!

Not advisable, I know.
30% out at +10.

Ken - I missed one of your earlier questions. Truth be told, these explosive momentum days like the one we are currently experiencing are an anathema to me. I don't do very well and end up sitting on the sidelines for the most part. I know, I know, that's dumb - why not just go with the flow? But that's not the way I trade and my levels aren't set up to handle these one sided moves (can't have everything, eh?). What happens is, as the price rockets, the levels recalculate to keep up with price and basically become useless. It's pointless to short these moves unless you want to get killed, and the pullbacks are few and far between and don't amount to much when they do occur. I guess that's a long winded way of stating the obvious - days like today are not for scalpers. I live for range days (obviously), and just watch in amazement on a day like today.

Call me chicken, but I'd rather sit on the sideline than do something I'll regret.

Have set some Longs (Exit 1.4480 maybe today) and some Shorts at 4360 (Exit 1.4140 maybe in the next days) and will take a look in 24 hours later (for the Long) and the end of this week for the Shorties.

Scalp the EU-Rubber Band?
Besides, ...the ups and downs at M1/M5 where nobody knows where to go.

Ding-dong. 1.4480 has reached today...., and go short at 1.4475 just now with a Target around 1.4295.

Great answer, mate! Pretty much what I thought you were going to say.

Too much, too fast. They are a thing of beauty to watch, though. I'm know for trying to pick tops, though, too. Got a decent one here from 4483. 30% closed at +10..30% at +15...and just did 20% at +20. 20% still floating...will shut her down at BE if it hits.

Will watch for this next news on the hour...if I can add going south, I may. If its north...back to the sidelines. I won't be longing this far into the move today.

Bastards did it again on London open. Let me without a trace for that move and now horrible German sentiment numbers and obviously even worse in the EZ. Watch for gold breaking higher and stock finding high of the day probably. I am out of options for entries in the Euro. Too high too long and against FA and in the middle of nowhere to short...bastards

indeed, now what I wonder, might have to wait for the hourly to close, could be a good clue...
