closed e/j near bottom of shi
Lol, this is hilarious-i spilled a few drops of the long neck on my laptop and it just died gurgling and moaning-guess it should have been merrier ;). What a shame-seems like bad days come all loaded

PS-M, I just Pinged you-with one obvious questions
Hey MP,
Do you think this is more of a bump before the news. Keep in mind Obama is on right now begging for his trillion dollar deficit spending bill.
or what we witnessed last week was a bump and the trend is actually downwards…
long the following based on 15 min chart entered on smaller time frame
targets mid shi channel and upper channel
e/j 117.2
e/u 1.2846
g/u 1.4811
I dont know about M, but I think the bailout is a bad bad idea-and Mr. Obama has no idea, plus he was mean to Helen Thomas 
lol
its getting there tex — WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
2904 with 2919 possible presently showing
2929 looks good on the 15 with 2936 follows
Yahoo…b/e at 1.2980
I had two longs from before the slide last night, one hit T/P at 1.2954 the other is 1.3023 for b/e. The thing that sucks about the 3023, is its a small play. I can tell you that I was very worried, but held faith that the US govt will spend money no matter what the circumstances
MP, what do you think about waiting for my 3023 position to come around, should i get out now or should I wait it out? I am thinking that the additional bailout request tonight will be a bull driving factor.

but that was as bad as a trade as it gets- moral of the story–be extra careful and do more homework before jumping in
You bet I was worried!
Almost the same situation for me- I was sure signals were all bullish at about 5 PM CST but then it just slid south- I had a very small stake too, but I guess that is not an issue as the “small stakes” are serving as a template for a higher account.
As we speak seems like it is going to touch 1.3000 but it could be just that 730 reversal
So exactly how do you play 6 USD news events in a row?
e/j and e/u worked out well kinda botched the g/u with -40
now short e/u at 1.2982 targets on 15 shi
short e/j 118.50 targets on 15 shi
be e/j
-15 e/u
Ok, I am done trading for today. I am going to take my 7% for the day and thank the trading gods I did not get margin called last night…
All my longs came in. I did have a short that I put on a little while ago that got away, came back close but got out for a 2% loss. Since i am thinking we have room at the top, I was not comfortable leaving a short open.
Ok, I am not that smart apparently and let the gnomes get into my head. Moved over the E/J, did well made some pips, then started doing horrible. Lost my EU winning today…
This is what I get for not following my rules!!!
MP,
Any input/experience as to using the MACD w/ another indicator as the input parameter like ATR or something similar? Or is that just plain batty?

wouch! Sorry to hear it!
I did much the same. Took the AUD/USD for about 350 pips on friday off the NFP and then gave it back Monday.
Got ****y and didn’t follow my rules.:mad: Kicking my self.
Must become a master of my mindset I think.
Griffin,
Misery loves company but I am sorry to hear about your bad luck. I ended up 3% ahead yesterday, but that was clawing my way back to profitability. Of course, I got myself into another situation last night where I prayed the market came back. Luckily it did.
On another note, the site seems slow these past two days. Are people licking their wounds or counting their money?
