nope, closed on the target prior to 2209 (2138), and been left out on the retrace. I wanted 2107, but it never came back.

That's the Galant. I have 2 of them with a corner-piece to connect them, and lots of Expedits. The tables are huge and though the topping looks thin, you can do you know what on it, easily.

I see but still nicely done. Those final targets are always the hardest to take...

In any case, month close for trades here. We have the Monthly Highs and Lows confirmed in Dax, cac, FTSE, ES and Oil and +/- the rolling areas defined in those marktets. The only one big still pending is Gold.

On the euro, we couldn't set 100% the high on the last H4 at 1.263x because of the current bounce from last break out so intraday NY bulls have the benefit of the doubt....Whatever the case, as long as the roll is below 1.267x the exact high is irrelevant.

Tracking 1.256x roll for next week range and 1.236x (we are going to close higher) for the Monthly range.

Probably something BB did. The markets are ridiculous that they fly around on the whim of a word like this. The nice thing is... it is trade-able. But man, I just want to set some orders and let them go. lol.

Price is just cleaning orders up from demand and supply levels though.
yeah.. whole week was a pain with a very low range to trade..

We saw a drop in early London, [They've done it again... ]
enough for me to take long on EU and GU.. closed bit earlier.. but happy with a weekly profit.. specially with a low range week..

thanks Ally - getting a bit more patience and stepping back from the charts also - helped by more sensible position sizing

hope you're well - how are bins going? I've been doing a lot less scalping of late

Have 2595/8 approx as Daily 100MA. Very bullish Sisse if close above for me

If not, we might see retrace to 1.24 next week i'm thinking to hit 20MA/50MA (Possible M Formation)

Ok thanks very very clear. I see what you mean.

For different reasons I have also a very bullish monthly close. Yearly low set and monthly reversal in play with Q roll too...chart updates later only after the roll.

looking forward to charts mate. Definitely looks like monthly reversal. Similar MA action also on the Daily back in March 2009

Well what can I said. Gold never lie.

We had the range break on daily and weekly last week and today we have confirmed on monthly. We knew that the bastards were not going to move gold until the path was clearer for the next macro legs across the board ...

As I think I mentioned on the break. 173x with intermediate stops 1654x and 167x. Looks overextended in daily (typical after a break) and we haven't test breakout point so let see if we have a chance to also ride the whole swing later...
