is that bastard ready for a dive again?
it wants what it wants. it hasn't deviated from 2768 2444 (2432) or even .8620 .8580... the med term numbers haven't paid the tolls.. the st and longer term have.. with the longer term ones doing that. the med ones may not have to,,

would be nice - underwater on a re-entry - AJ profits from today - given 1/2 back as it stands. Daily setting up as a pin through the big s/r on my chart (pointing the wrong way) - Yen is weakening atm - weaker than dollar - st or what? I don't know ....

yup definitely the wrong way ... bastard .. lol
btw the pin makes sense on daily according to the level where it is right now, showing strong demand on daily (or the bastards showing off ) [me no likes] :/

I love that. Sometimes though, it seems like a loss is good for a reset to keep one in check. I usually have runs like that, then take a few losses in a row, then reset on another streak.

I reset because of that cable trade last week... Streak is now 2.

love the music to this, always in my head...

yeah, need to watch that subconscious... loss chasing is highly dangerous, emotions can cloud judgement and lead to piss poor decision making, better to log off and come back tomorrow if you've taken a few losers in succession...

thrown mine in the bin - might be wrong , but better to be wrong -20 than wrong -50 . Don't know about demand - haven't got the order book - there was demand here before , but how much is left 4th time round since late June I don't know - to me it looks like shorts unwinding at the obvious level - but again just conjecture ... let's see the numbers/gossip and general BS that comes out this week to push it either way

by the way hitting it fourth time also presents a H&S neckline.... right here
but not forgetting my H&S trades never work out well

well , they work better at the top of an uptrend for a start - and usually safer on the rt of the broken neckline - only when you can truly call it a H&S - when it's fully formed - we're caught in a range between the big March/late May swing - which itself is like a smaller fractal of last year's range - look at the APR/OCT swing from 2011 which marked the year range and you'll see what I mean - currently sat just below half way of that range atm

I love 'em. But, you have to always look for accompanying PA. Weakness or strength.

Personally me, I use the zones as a 'on watch' area. From the very top to the bottom. I then need to see a turn in current price (something similar to dow theory, except focused on the individual candles).

A break of the zone will alter my bias, and the 'on watch' play is now a counter, but still playable.

Yep. The jerks like to play games on Friday's... said to hell with it, i'll hold over the weekend. They knew they were going to sink it, so wanted to keep as few people out as possible.

Or at least, that's my paranoid answer!
