When I'm happy with what I made! :)

We've just been talking about that, look at the past couple pages of posts....but 50pips is a good target on the M15....

Heh. I should have stayed asleep. Picture perfect setups mostly gone to hell. :) Foxy has decided to take me for a little ride. I gotta filter this stuff better. Love the GBPUSD Short, it is just early. Love EURGBP long, it is awesome, but moves so much slower than the pairs that put me in pain. Thought we'd see more YEN strength and EUR weakness. But they are making me wait.

Not sure I can read this stuff and trade at the same time. Too easy to develop bias.

I'm off for a snack and possibly a nap. NY either pushes it in my direction or they don't. No use worrying about it fretting about every tick.

Ciao boys, there may be some pretty forensic pictures after this adventure.

I think the GBPJPY might head down to 138 by middle of next week. We'll see.
