Hi Whip, Hope things went well today at dentist office. Thoughts of my last oral surgery make me shudder... Dr. intended to operate without anesthesia, scary, especially considering that the nurse warned me to make sure anesthesia was used because it was a very painful procedure... Ouch!! Even with plenty of local anesthetic... Trades all over the place today, up, then down... G/U looks tradable... Given other circumstances, I might wait for a redraw to enter, now that price has closed below YY... But, I don't want to be left in the dust if this pair begins to slide apace... I think a S stop at today's L - buffer at 1/3 std. pos. size is a reasonable play... I recommend that we do just that...... Along with adjusting our stops, of course.......Back in AM.......P

Indecision, long wicks, short bodies on candles... At least, we're pos. overall, but that can change at any time, as it has done throughout the day... Looks like we will have the same scenario with E/U tonight as we had with G/U last night... A closure below yy, while already below TL... Both conditions met for a S, but not entirely according to Hoyle... Anyway, same thinking, a S stop at today's L - buffer at 1/3 std. pos. size... If E/U breaks down, we'll be on board and will add to position if it looks to move..... All this if E/U closes below YY... Looks like it will......P

Whip, very technical, but on my chart YY has not moved above price on close, so no S signal...

EU did not close below yy...did not put on a S stop.......Added SS to the Cable but gave it plenty of room, I'm not totally convinced.....

Hard to be convinced with PA of last few sessions...... At times nothing works... we set the mousetrap as best we can... the rest is up to the mouse... See you in AM........P

Yes, E/A stopped out. By a cruel twist of fate, a few pips, a valid (YY) S signal for E/U did not materialize... Of course the blunder was that THE DOGS WERE NOT CONSULTED to decide this close call!!!!!!!! Otherwise, we would be up a compensatory number of pips....They were/are decidedly down... Still we are neg., pairs disconnected... CHOP... ps Up in middle of the night for a few hrs, then back to sleep... Up again just a short while ago......

Beeped off......Despite these kind of events, method will prevail, indeed, flourish... Several months ago I changed off-set on YY to 1.5, from 1.33... Would be in this trade at orig. setting..... Still the blunder was NOT CONSULTING THE DOGS!!!!!!!! If I can't remember the reason for the change in off-set by the end of the day(lol), strongly inclined to switch back....... Back at close.... P

Evening Pippo,
My AU and GA trades are both in profit, AJ flat.........That EU sure does look good, will close below yy now unless some natural disaster takes place......

Somehow we are positive.... Remember, went to 1.5 YY off-set to keep from getting too close when Aussies are trending... Probably not really necessary, but I am not going to do any more manual backtesting for the rest of my life........ Will leave off-set at 1.5 for now... Will put a S stop at L of today's E/U candle - buffer at 1/3 std. pos. size... Of course, you don't have to follow... P

I believe I'll follow on this one and I'm still riding the Cable.........Done

EA traveled almost twice it's normal ADR on last candle to hit my SL........Interesting

Getting stopped in appears inevitable and possibly no different than just entering outright... Anyway, I will observe the rules, so S stop it is...Done...
