Well, unless you went several times over, you are not alone.

I have tears in my eyes. My stomach hurts.

seriously, that's a bad azz trap you laid...

other things... is there any way for bernanke to really assure market that there won't be any qe3? tbh, I don't want to see ranging and whipsawing to death markets 'til the end of the year or even longer.

Is kind of a strange feeling! Had pending orders on my brain all of last night, though. Got filled...profit taken. Set again, same level...filled again. All while being kind of drunken...sleeping in a strange hotel...woken by price alerts. Had enough...took what I needed...plus a little extra for me troubles.

Yeah...OQ...very fortunate to have him around. Never mind the hills...there's gold between them thar ears!

How you getting on in the Land To the Left on your charts, Hutchinson?

pretty good. I've been doing well the last days, and today everything was fine 'til 29. I was looking at 4225.2 and saw momentum fading once we crossed the mofu. closed and never got back in, because I didn't think the reaction would be that strong. watched the candle grow and grow and asked myself, wtf just happened and even more important, why?

Last chance, either:
1. take a postionn now and wait for few days to know how smart or fool you were
2. take a position later when spread is 10, 25 or 40 pips
3. take position after move is 30% done but at normal spread

I am long until trend reversal. Bit early to take this position, but risk is the name of the game. ..............Full position with wide stoploss.

Now that's just NOT funny! Wait a minute...yes it is...in a cruel kind of way!

No suppliers nearby? Certainly sounds like there's demand! A market it maketh!

We need to pull together resources to come up with some type of EA for these here markets. Maybe a 1 minute pacer...

In and outs, 10 pip targets and what not... hehe.
