Was thinking about you, brother. Hate BE sometimes! Sometimes I'll just close my partials, but leave my stops where they were originally...if I fancy them.

Next one...day is young!
I am not one for stops either unless I leave the screens, no need for some fat finger to get me stopped out only to get to my TP without me. Stops just advertise what you are doing.

Absolutely correct. Why let the brokers know where your pain threashold is. Market guns for the obvious places anyway, so if we have to use them, we need to be creative.

Yesterday was fun, especially as all of us here saw it for what it was.

All the opens in EU are up slightly here, except the FTSE, the big drivers there are Admiral and Heineken.

Pretty subdued start of the day. I for one can't wait for the holiday season to be over so we can resume normal service again in 2 weeks.

Fecker did this at 02 all through Tokyo! Would break below...hang out for a bit...then pause again before coming back up. Think it took three kisses each time,

Yeah, boring scalping territory, no big runner in sight I can trade of. Not going to scalp this mess here, I will wait for a proper setup.

WTI could well test 84.40-ish again here, that may give this some impetus.
