Mick Ronson...hell of a guitar player! Bowie's always been surrounded by fierce talent!

Fiercest talent there may be the jumpsuit, though!

A dull start of the move. Taking first target on the roll and securing remaining position so I can go to bed in peace.......nothing to see in the markets until tomorrow.

good luck all trading overnight

Good lyrics.

Yeah...were definitely signs there, alright...all over the wall. I'm struggling too much with trying to find a "reason" these days, though. Really trying to turn that shit off. If I can't...I'm going to take a pretty good break, because I'm not really even enjoying trading right now...and its certainly not from over-trading/long hours, because I've actually been doing very little of late.

Anyway..rambling.
i plan on drop a few off here and there. a bounce would not be out of character.. at any level.. 3700 and 3831 are the main ones here.

To tell you the truth, I haven't been as patient as normal. Been really quick to pull my orders just because things are nutty... but all in all, was right about the direction.

Silliness really... for instance the long I started building 10/5/2011, had a beautiful entry @ 3258... Friday came around, and price was jacking around so scaled out on Friday. Never had any signs for reversal, it just wasn't a smooth ride. Missed most of the moves this week, just been grabbing crumbs because I don't like to jump in daily moves mid move, and to be honest, I was perceiving 3690 to be a recent top, but I always, always wait for confirmation on the daily before jumping in. So, sit on hands, it is until we turn again, which should be soon, maybe even tonight. The highs could conceivably be the highs for this current swing... but direction is now looking up up up unless we get a new low below 3145. Very possible as well, we do sometimes create a swing high then break through the lows again. But bullish outlook until that is broken. It's time for a retrace though and counter move, and 3798 may have very well provided it.

Bastards all the same... and I feel like I was a bit all over the place in that rambling... let me know if I became confusing.

That's putting it a little mildly, innit Arch?

figured it could go to 3709, monthly pivot, 20 pip shakeout of previous high and options barrier at 3700, but pretty surprised that it's so far gone 120 or so pips higher...

Overshoots have been a bit wild lately. I've been noticing it on the daily as well... 100 or so pips + have been common.

It's why I constantly repeat to myself. Long until short, short until long.

I try to stop finding reasons to change it and only change it when it's true.

IE seeing that LL & HL for shorts.
