Maybe later ,LOL Did you sleep at all?to busy making money
No I did.

Slept right through it all. I had 4 long trades fill overnight, though. It looks like I was scalping through the night. Set them to close 80% at +10...and 20% at +15. All filled and closed.

I got some nasty slippage on one, though...having problems with that same terminal that gave me issues yesterday with my missing candles. Will have to do a fresh install this weekend.

No fancy pants shorts, though...unfortunately. Sure were a LOT of pips on offer if I was smart like my Russian Floridan friend!

watch the swiss go broke. wait till china gets a clue and starts hoarding more usd.. as the euro drops, china is losing customers. the euro drop would be good for Germany, if they hadn't promised to pay for others.. that bill is getting heavier as default nears.. hey what do i know. these guys are much brighter then i.

Agree but the Swiss will be the least of the problems if the EZ collapse. The tsunami will make the 2008 financial crisis look as a walk in the park so not worry of Swiss going broke YET.

The party just started and G7 bla bla can put a floor. Artificial and unsustainable without addressing the real issues but floor at the end.

Nice...the bear is hungry in you...roar!

I can see that level! I love times like this. Everyone (myself included) starts to say...its SO over-sold. Then the H4 and D1 candles just start getting longer and longer! Savage! That's why it reminds me of 2008...seemingly irrationality just went on and on and on.

20-30 pip bounces for reloads are getting rarer and rarer at the moment.

the Germans are promising to pay others debt. from a smaller pool of euros. since the swiss and china are (they say) buying euros. so w/o printing Germany is on the edge as well as France. for germany to pay they have to pull more liquidity out of a system.. w/o liquidity banks have less to loan.. remember they hoarded them to pass the stress test.. all it takes now is one bounced check. w/o liquidity margin calls on markets. watch oil... brent oil..
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

Oil has behave rather smooth with a very clean downtrend so far and still has some room to weekly key support 82.xx (without including that deep breach to 76 that left a mattress for overshoots). I agree if oil breaks down from there is no way back on the double dip.
