Well, I got long looking for a 20 EMA bounce to no good effect. Back to waiting.

It's amazing what yesterday looks like on the 60-minute--just looks like it went down some and up some but stayed in pretty much the same range as the last few days--rather ho-hum. Sure felt a lot different than that in real time, though.

Ah, I see the resistance at 113.15 that you were looking at. I may need to get long on a return to that now that we've busted through. ADD: And the chop chops on . . . still waiting.

The 60-minute looks bullish to this wide-eyed noob, and I wasn't around to catch it at .47, so I'm looking for a place to get long--probably somewhere around a return to the 20 EMA on a 5-minute chart.

Thinking of putting in a buy limit order at 111.20 or so with a stop loss at 110.98 or so--maybe I could catch an overnight dip and then IV's bull run. Cheers or jeers?

Yeah, it's out of sync now. I had a short stop on the YM based on the drop in CL (and anticipating a retracement), but it didn't get filled.

Ah, well I guess they've both been following the eur/usd. I've got YM and CL both up, and they keep both selling off or rallying at the exact same time.

It's interesting the last couple of days how CL has followed YM almost move for move.

I wanted to play the possible triangle break there as well, but I couldn't decide where to put a stop for a clean get-away. And then I wasn't sure where to put a stop loss if I were to pre-position. So, good trade, I couldn't figure that one out.

Well, I'm gonna pat myself on the back. Time was (i.e., last week) I would trade the hell out of a day like today based on my vague beliefs about "she looks like she's gonna go up/down" and end up down $200 to $500 in 20 trades. Today I traded CL once and YM once and made $430. I think I'm...

I'd be right there with you if I didn't have a lunch thing. GL.

Looks like the whole world has adopted my sit and watch strategy.

OK, I'm looking to short if there's another false breakout of .90. Other than that, sitting and watching still seems like a good plan.

knees and toes, knees and toes? Sorry, I have a two year old. :D

Someone's meddlin' in the middle . . . :)
