Good show, Arch! Glad it worked out.

I got torn a new one on EA. Should've just closed and cancelled all POs on the rate cut. Was just lulled into inaction by the markets yesterday. Ah well...just have to shake it off. Gave back my profit for the week...no biggie. Decent short still running on EU, and in at the top of EA again, looking south. Still very flag-ey, though.

Engineered a recording session today...had a ball. Haven't done one in a while, and have dearly missed it.

Are you 9-5 Monday to Friday kind of thing?
no, toys r us fell through, so got a job at the amazon distribution depot in hemel, working in shipping, but the facility is virtually brand new, so lots of opportunities there to go into management, still a three month contract, shift is 2.30pm till 10pm, so can still trade london open...

sorry to hear about your trade, take it as a learning experience...

Actually, if my long bias is right... some buys in the 2897 would be right on par...

Damn w-t-f moments. I wonder if there was ever a time that price was generally almost always well behaved. I've been starting out pretty slow this week so far as well. Just a few pips on the clock, but you know me, I want the big moves.

Well that's cool you picked up another one so quickly...nicely done!

Losses are part of the game, Arch...don't phase me much. Was just venting a little for being complacent. Unexpected rate cut? Get the fak out! Every chump knows that. Bastards lulled me into inaction!

I had even planned on getting out of my initial small ones if 2460 gave way. Posted my plan last week, just didn't stick to it. Rookie!

All good!

Amazon's warehouse must be huge there, yeah?

I really seem to remember a time when there was. Problem was, I didn't know as much as I do now (experience), so couldn't take advantage of it as much as I think I would now. Bastards! I feel that is genuinely a true statement, though.

A LOT of central bank/fed involvement over the last couple years-ish. That and social media have sent PA to the dogs!

Good stuff, Arch...and good luck with it.

As Venice said...don't be a complete stranger. A little Factory in the morning, then off to the warehouse in the afternoon!

Afternoon start is handy! Never mind trading...the crack of dawn, wake up for work...is bollocks!

Just did for a few weeks a little while back. Suit and tie. Just not really my scene, anyway. Was only a short term contract...didn't pack it in, or get the sack! Just did something "outside my comfort zone" to see how that whole world is these days. Happy with what I have.

I have 2936. Seems a bit much to be broker differences. May have something set wrong here.

Nothing wrong with that. The opposite would probably be mildly concerning.

I always have a few different things on the go, so usually have some sort of daily interactions with fellow humans. Worst case scenario, four dog walks a day force some people on me...although I'm not particularly wild about "dog people"...but that's another story.
