these quiet markets are incredibly tough to trade, very very sluggish action.
except for Gold! from my chart earlier, XAU is testing the trendline now at 1667.

I'm down about 0.4% on the trade, stop loss is a 2% spread widening (gold would need to fall about 30 points with no move from S&P.

Long Eur/Usd 1.3244.

No stop or target, just looking at this thing to blow right through 1.325 before deciding.

 

[VielGeld]

^ Blew right through while typing, lol.

Stop to +2

Target: 1.328. Might take profit at 1.327 if it stalls.

 

[VielGeld]

Stopped out +1. Bulls can't get this one up.

es low so far is 1232.50. Holding for now. If it breaks below that I might look to exit early and reenter closer to 1230. For now...holding

 

[wackypete2]

most of the "sell on Open" orders have been cleared. pressure lets up now

Trading is so engrossing I accidentally left my oatmeal in the microwave for 10 minutes. I thought the water content trend had to go way down, but the trade failed in that the water was sucked right out of it until it left a small, hard ball. Just goes to show you sometimes need a tighter stop to prevent a breakfast blowout in moments of inattention.

Nothing happening on the currency front. Just some waffling around.

 

[wackypete2]

stopped -4.00
Well that was fun.

 

[VielGeld]

Long Eur/Usd 1.3242.

No stop, I want to see where this one goes. By all accounts this thing wants to go up.

 

[wackypete2]

buy es 1231
stop 1227.50
