Okay, you might have nailed this one close to the LOD, but what is with the longs today?

+180! Amazing. I'd have +100 had I just left my first great short in there and not panicked over a dozen pips. No idea how tomorrow will go, but I see Yen is climbing strongly against sterling... I wonder what is happening.

I know, have to be honest here and didn't exactly follow my own plan either
was frustrated by not leaving the short on and wanted to scalp some but obviously counter-trend
a temporarily laps in discipline there from my part
the last one was a true long signal though
not really...went short this morning then just let it ride down to each level....880 on cash was again the turning point which confirmed short was correct.....again it's just having the patience to let go and not play around with things....I could actually have had +250 on that Dow trade if i'd been paying attention...was more interested in where they were quoting Dax for 2row......took +45 off Dax earlier so a good day...

I'm flat here too
...just exited my DAX long from this morning... a tad too late probably as I took +30 instead of a possible +70.
Nevertheless, I might need some self-reflecting here as all of my latest trades have been long and the market hasn't actually been showing upside potential

long 13770... I should probably wait for confirmation, but I'm with light size

Even a maestro like yourself can have a "lean" run.....relatively
You've still got it I'm sure..:cheesy:
What does puzzle me a bit though your entry is usually spot on but you bail out before the fun's really got started judging from 2k7 trades - I'm a fan actually....

yeah I know... I need to leave those profitable trades open longer, but when I started trading I was heavily scalping and I still prefer to get in and out of a trade rather quickly rather than see those profits evaporate. It does usually mean leaving some points on the table, but I've been reworking and studying my system heavily over the last couple of weeks and plan to implement those changes next month to see how they perform live. I've noticed I could actually come home with a lot less trading hours and just a handful of entries that I leave open till EOD...

I'm long Russell too... (810)
I have to consider this a potential selling climax.
That volume really is massive... guess traders aren't on summer holiday

in case anybody's wondering... no I'm not trying to pick the bottom here
I'm long because 13750-13800 is support on daily chart
(or it should be)
and for the obvious extreme volume on that final very wide spread selling bar... usually indicates professionals are buying and I usually like to be on their side hehe

you know what they say... when it seems most risky and fear is at it's peak, it's time to buy
exited half my position on russell at 814

Great trade tho m8...well done...
