I always run out of time, when the setups come up!!

DOW ignored the daily pivot, it did fake a up turn I see before tanking.

AU entered short after the rejection of a daily resistance pivot / psych level. Seemed a too good of an entry not to take, risk is low.

TP 1.0476....

Will look for a entry which works with my SL paramater @16 with a SL 25 area.

So it should rock as I'm not taking it.

No the 1st cat with dementia that's like 17years old got handed into a vets, vets contacted the RSPCA and they took it away and are trying to do me for animal cruelty cause it's suffering and really skinny, well it's old and dying and it's suffering cause it's stuck in a cage for the next 3 - 4 weeks basically the rest of it's life. It was a bit mad but wasn't suffering a week ago.

Trading profits have a new mission, destroying and reforming the RSPCA to something good for animals not trying to screw people out of there money.

I've heard horror stories regarding the rspca and yours just adds to it, they arn't all they're made out to be, afterall, they're a business and all business is about profit first, customer/employee welfare second...and with charitys...the big bosses big paypackets come first, thats why I don't give to charity, except help for heroes.

They sound like the CSA - jobsworth w*nkers!! lol ruining lives since......

Edit - with your cat being skinny, it is 17 aswell, every cat around that age I've ever seen has been skinny or thin, afterall, you never see a fat OAP....

Even more $$$'s per PIP SCAREY!!! $5 is about the highest I've traded at seeing swings of $15 every few seconds scared the hell out of me.

I say I'll never go about 10, okay maybe 20, but it'll be $100 per pip and a 2nd position another $100 per pip when I get there no doubt!!

Max pay out for min effort baby

I'll be upping my lot size quite a bit at the start of september with the intention of trading less, but that probably won't happen! lol, August can be my account compound month. A day like today for all the 20ish trading days of August would be lovely, I'm going to trade every good opportunity I see for the next month, usually I hold off making a few trades a day aswell.

Remember August historically is a very slow month go back and look at last Augusts charts, most of us spend the entire month on here complaining about how dead it is.

You'll get big moves, 100pipper but they'll be over in sub 5mins as low volume then back to flat, blink and you miss them or get SL'd nasty month to try to double your account size.

Be warned, ofcourse no guarantee this will happen this year, much news and hell breaking lose, but every damn year so far.

I'll give it a good go! lol

I've just had a look back, price seems to move between psych levels like normal, I've got a feeling tomorrow will be a down day.
