But I cannot do it and beat her double, up and down. She is too fast and changes directions too quickly. She gives you a head & hip fake down, you go for her shorts, and boom she jumps up 100 pips leaving you tied under the bed! See I learned long ago no matter how good you are, you are a fool if you try to beat her up and down. She will get you. She wiped me out 3 years ago on some shorts on her way up to 251, when I swore she couldnt possibly go any further north and AND HAD to come back home, down south.
Playing her up and down is FAR too chaotic. Shorting her is much like going skiing for the first time and finding the biggest steepist most tree filled hill
and taking your first trip on a set of skiis down this hill.
Gj is also one of the more complicated pairs to trade. It has the widest range I think. And I think of it as a major even if it isn't too most. Its volumne is pretty heavy usually and she has done good by me over the years,
aside from waking up before me and taking my wallet and the truck and leaving me at the motel in my sleeping underwear.
She never really sleeps. Even on the weekends she goes to the beach.
Watch out for her thighs, don't watch those as you will never know where she is going or if she is coming or going as her speed of movement can cause her to appear as a big blur breezing past you.

Short term scalp shorts, fine. I was up late one night and she took one of those torpedo dives down that we are all so familiar with. I was sleepy and possibly a bit drunk and popped 10 standard lots on her (a demo account my friends) and made $10,000 in about five minutes.
But to hold a long term short...yes, you've got to know what you are doing. I know many of you out there are MUCH more savvy than I with the chart reading etc. And yes, setting support alarms and getting out with the fillet is certainly doable. But shorting the guppy now after participating in this forum seems sacrilegious to me. Elijah says singleness of mind and purpose is required. I really do agree with this and it may seem overly "woo woo" to some of you I think when the mind is confused and in conflict decisions made are not clear. This system relies on a "singleness of mind and purpose" when it comes to the direction of the trade...other systems do not. I would rather keep my intentions clear and go forth in the world with single purpose.
But short if you must, little sheep, reap what you sow...
