Closed remaining partials on my lower order on +75 and the middle order for +215. Gator's 1.1699 was nearly spot on. Still holding the one from 1.2032...and looking to add again soon. Well stretched on ADR now. Don't know if, and how soon, a new bottom will be plumbed, but still can't see curtains for Aussie compared to the Euro. Will at least try and pull some partials on some Bear moves, and hope for another runner or...

Was a nice call, mister!

More momentum than that last leg down? Good gawd, man...that was fierce!

double humper?
it never went to 2024.. its valid w/o a HH.. i have neen looking to sell since 2109/10 as posted in previous post. a HH changes things.. i trade r/r.. the risk near the high is small compared to reward indicated.

all traders make bad trades. the trick is making the bad ones cost you less then the profitable ones. if you lose a 1$ with a 20$ reward potential.. so what.. you can lose 20 bad trades and have one good one and be at b.e. excluding spread.
i have a mid leg in the 2253 area. we go there more often then not before 2051 target. i know this from watching. but it don't always work. i have a new chance to s at the high.. the pressure from the attempt to go to 2251 should put us close to 2138.. so my r/r at 2138 is tiny +spread. with 2051 2024 and 1998 valid, its a decent r/r trade.

Enough for some partials on this one. Will look to clear out the order below with some of this one if I get the chance.

Morning all...

Pure panic from Spain. Bund [and Treasuries] at Real risk levels. Spanish bonds in serious capitulation mode (10yr +7.5)%, a bloodbath in IBex since Friday and Today opening and most the EZ (and the IMF) taking for granted Greece exit from the Euro.

SNB starting to feel the $$$ pressure to keep the low band in EC and Yen consistently losing most of the gains this year and flirting to go back to square 1 leaving the BOJ useless as ever.

ECB muted so far and thats the game changer so ...

GL all riding panic ...

Hi sisse,

EU certainly holding up better than I thought it might today, given the bonds situation. I don't even care to try and figure why...other than...somebody is surely propping it.

Anyway...hope you enjoyed your long weekend...and found some sun...and a few beers, of course.

taking half off at 52 pips. 26 banked. will decide whether to add more at 2080 (if dips), depends on how that level behaves.
