not much coming out of ez so far today, portugal recession and greek bonds, not much else, but 3% is pretty good if it's sustainable into the close, definitely setting a risk on backdrop...

need to take a swift break, back later...

Agreed as well. Daily is about to unlock another 130'ish pips upwards, but we need the close above 2790 first. 8 hours to go.

It's bull shit. I took two longs for a total of 3 pips. Staying out until it breaks out of this shit.

If London doesn't move, NY is a clusterfuck, if London moves, NY is still a clusterfuck, usually dealing with it's retrace. And then we have a pissy 20 pips move at 3 PM when nobody would trade. WTF?

You guys need to learn how to swing more often. Then you don't have to deal with this shitty intraday PA.
