Good stuff, mate!

I love partials. I go in heavy...pull some quick, and hope for some runners. Working well for me.

i should trade that way more often, seems i can pick a turn decently on small time frames and then zoom out way too far

Cheers mate.

Think they may have just shook me. China figures were fine.

Flat is fine for now. Still holding my EU...for the moment.

Looking for more action now, though. May wait till Frankie before going in large with anything. Was paid rightly today...whole week actually. I'm into October's numbers already...yay!

Yeah...my entries are getting much better. I use gator for the inspiration there. As they've improved, I've been able to hit harder. Take a quick partial. If it turns against me, I'll close the rest around BE and try again a little further away. Usually, by the third attempt (at worst), I have a runner on my hands...then its over to cloggie's style and start adding if its a good one.

Snow-ball-orama on my account lately. Just need to keep plugging along. Hopefully it wasn't just working for me through the summer, and now it fails. I don't think so, though. I'm getting more and more comfortable with it as I go.

Good stuff...fine trades tonight, mate!

Pretty good target. Would love to see a knock on 4000's door again...just for commitment to the 30's sake.

waiting for a reason.. the lm on the chart is 3972.. thats only 100 pip retrace.. the low is a tough area. a nice bounce cant be discounted. 4026 4040 4057 could still be in play.. i dont know.. just looking for a short that i can hold. 3991 is 50% of my day candle.
I finish review my chart, My best guess sell limit@4020 , 4060

Catch u tomorrow @ London
Thanks for reply

It is glorious!

Big week for me on AUD. EC as well...but I don't really count that. Just nice to be trading some other pairs again. EU is my bread and butter...by far most comfortable there. Been tweaking my system for a while, and am feeling pretty comfortable now. Time to take it to the street on other pairs!

Good pipping, brother!

I still want 1.4328
We must be aware: the substructure of the last wave down does not seem to be ready. I miss the subwave 5 so far, making the recent wave up to a subwave 4. Ideal target for this wave up would be around 3977 to 4007

Based on my monthly levels an ideal target for subwave 5 down would be 3865, 3818 or 3760


Disturbing thing is:

very high momentum in the move down from 410x

So I switch to daily TF and did a count there:

At Monday we had 5 waves down complete, making the surge up on Tuesday to a wave 2. With that said, the whole move down from 4280 may be now part of a wave 3 down, which would fit nicely with momentum considerations.

But momentum is sometimes a tricky thing.......

Closed shop, mate...fluffed the top a little...bastards shook me out around Chinese CPI.

Good week on the pair, though. Did well on me bottoms...OKish on me tops...
