Oh no...I knew you were short. I was/am flat...was just eying your long one from below. Hadn't even seen your updated short figs, because I stepped out to pollute my lungs. Nice playing, g-man!

It would bring me so much joy to see 3550 today...
Well, don't understand the Greeks. What the fck they think the markets are going to do...No comments on the conference ...I think a new PR team should be part of the the bailout/default package....shame.

so I guess your 1.355x is wide open now. Is late in the day but ES (us stock markets) are cracking support on every push down and the wall may give up soon...

Well, I'm not sure what to do now. The reason for this position last week was a bet that Greece would not or could not make their big interest payments tomorrow. It's still not clear they won't but it's looking increasingly likely they will.

If they do, the position is gone. In the meantime, I'm putting in a day limit below the day low, and if it fills, it fills. I'm sick of European politicians, and I'm sick of the Federal Reserve. Time to go out to lunch.

oh that.. yeah it was good for a few.. i just try to trade less. and cherry pick the 40 plus ones. i will take those if they follow the trend, i think we are in for an entry. thats why i said near 3646 was a s with a limited sl.. sl above 47 for the st target of 3615. .. this one may lead to a larger one. and so on

I was hanging around here for the same reason. I love big fundie triggers, they sure make my month. Guess I will have some dinner here, keeping one eye on the wires/TV set.

It is so crap that the market as a whole is now waiting for the outcome of a few politicians having a phone call over a few drinks...Feck it, we all know what the outcome is going to be, we are all just looking at each other to see who flinches first.

Bit like the 100m a few weeks back, the only way to take Bolt out is flinch.

LOL. The Greeks don't understand one another. Between Sparta, Athens, Thebes they've been fighting for thousands of years.

This must be the modern version of it all... I think Germany should just buy them out right.

I had 1.355x for today range since the morning but yes +/- agree with your level if it breaks current support. My daily swing move extends to 1.348x daily support that (based on weekly chart) have very reduced odds to hold and aiming @ 1.331x/1.329x (weekly S) as final target.

To the other side there is a wide range because of the big gap to 1.378x/5x that is still open as long as current daily S holds and max 1.387x daily R.

Am scalping a few short already, just in case we get a leak somewhere. The NY boys may still test that low here in the late session.

Understood. Great to watch!

Threw in a toe-dipping (think Greek beach) short for the sake of it. Hate sitting here doing nothing.
