Went short at 83 myself and was trying to figure out if I was on the same side of the trade as cloggie.lol
We do not want to be on the opposite side of him. LOL
Little skiddish about the short but will exit a break of the 4499 or even at BE because I think we still need to test 4541 possibly.
I'm still holding longs... .... and shorts.

I know you like it but I never tie up capital in 2 directions.

nice work brother, talk later..
Cheers mate. News spike was a nice bit of fortune...calculated risk paid off. Back in front of the bastards on my weekly target now, after being a little short yesterday.

Nice to see all the different approaches and how they all seem to make sense. There's nobody's posts that I read where I'm like...what are you talking about. Could NOT say the same thing last week...in a galaxy far, far away!

Catch you soon...play safe.

This thread has been good, it is easier to follow a conversation when you don't have to wade through dozens of muppets in the process.

I know. My problem is that I suck at entries, I'm pretty good at targets. I have to do it this way... The ratio of longs/shorts changes as the market moves along....

Oil is coming of the exuberant high caused by Gadaffi's son, funny heh how 1mbd can move oil 5 dollars. DOW 11,000 holding, could we see a reapeat of yesterday?

XAU will take a hit once we know what Gadaffi did with his 200 tons.

The son is out fighting today, hence the move in oil, daddy-o is nowhere to be seen. He is probably loading up the camels out the back with his 200 tons of gold.

1145 tot the topside has to hold to determine risk and 1125 to the bottom would open further move down. I am still eyeballing 950 on es.

I got in at 91, did not cover at the earlier test of 63 as it is only a feeler still. Want to see a confirmed close below 75, as posted, to scale in. If the 91 gets taken out, I will look for the next setup, not going to buy this at these levels just yet. There just ain't a lot of room left to the topside.

If by some fluke we do hit 4524, my 91 short will be covered and I will just see it as a better opportunity and price to see if I can get back in.

DOW 11,000, as posted a few hours ago will be the risk trigger, as long as that holds, I will...

The plan is coming together, up 30-ish
