About the same, brother.

Played a couple small EU's after the Frankie fakie. Just been closing half, and reloading them ever since. Thought they were going to be peaches, but your chart is the same is mine...you know what its been like ever since.

Couple still open from Friday, too...or partials there of. 2983 is the highest. Nicely setup if it drops, but not convinced that is going to happen. If its hung around here waiting for "Great Greek" news, I'm sure we're going higher before lower. Will play as high as 3025ish plus a bit for stop clearing.

Up exactly 0.5% for the day...but with the amount of trades I've place and closed...and the pure boredom of it all...I wish that was 5%!

i'm looking at a triangle on EU that finishes at NY roll - halloween pin bar close right in the middle of it ( on the lower bit now ) - thought we'd see 935 by now ..... hope it goes south for ya mate

ej been a bit better behaved today than eu - but same story there now pretty much

Same here. Can't even get an M5 close below DTEMA, though...

EDIT: Never mind a close...can't even muster a Low below it so far.

Same on Gold. Looking to buy a dip since Friday there, but nothing doing.

Hate it when the bastards don't want to make money, while waiting to make money! Like when the Eurocrats say...we're taking a break for an hour to do some calculations...why not give the fat bastards a slap in the head and dump it off 30-40 pips and reload at a better price? Obviously I'd like to see that happen because I have a bunch of sells open, but time is money, people!

All my positions are down to .1 lots now...except the very bottom one...of course...which was opened on Friday on the way up (.2). 20 pips below here and I may gladly stuff the lot...except the top two/three...and forget today ever happened.

Yeah...Yen started out nice...was nearly tempted in. Glad I didn't, because as you say...same heap of shite now, really.

YouCad had a nice little long, but took hours too. 9 hours for 50 pips.

Just a dull day across the board, really. Just find it silly. All this over Greece...AGAIN. They're fakked now...and they're fakked if they get the cash (if not more so, really)...so who gives a toss?

Regardless of my positions...bugger all on the table anyway...I often get mystified by things like this.

Seriously...HOW broken is the Greece record at this point? Same thing, over and over and over again...except each decision seems to take longer than the last. But...what about...

-The fact that a Neo-Nazi party is now third in the polls in Greece...and rising.
-EU breakup? Who knows...maybe one day...but what about Spain breaking up in the very near term?
-Spanish bank bailout upcoming in return for the sacking of 6000+ bank employees

That list can go on and on...but the logic of heading north REALLY hurts my head if I add more than above.

Boring!

I kid, I kid. Just not an option for me, mate...and many others, I'm sure.

A lot of chop on daily bars recently, too though. Pairs that I trade, anyway.

APPL and FB have been golden, too. MSFT continues to struggle.

Playing any over there?

These aren't chops. These are soothing waves.
