    same target as before.

    I expect some chop and slow grind up.

    :59 stopped out <del>-7 ticks (-28 rolling)</del> -8 ticks (inc. 1 tick slippage) (-30.5 rolling with comms).

    I love getting caught in stop runs, in the direction of the run :D

    OK, so I'm here licking my wounds and you go and pour salt on them...

    Mean people alert!

    ...

    :D :p

    Actually I had my finger on the mouse's middle button (stop-limit) to get long at .75 but got paranoid, blah, blah, blah...

    Then I "saw" the same short twice in a row at .20 and in the next bar a bit below .13 when the euro was tanking again, but again I overthought: by the time I cancel the sim trade and try to enter live I will think it's gone down too much already, blah, blah, blah...

    Gonna take a break to throw up, excuse me now...

    Yeah I shoulda been long @ .67, but figured @ .97 the Law of the HOD would be in play :D

    Just to prove how nice I am:

    Do you wonder who the nutcase was who bought 88.81 a little while ago?

    :p

    Now who's mean! :p

    Technically it was a very good day in CL for my trading style, nice clean swings in both directions. I had 6 longs and 7 shorts, 5 wins, 2 losses and, of course, 6 b/e, thanks to Picaso's bad influences on me.
