    I'm thinking that almost everyone with half of a brain has figured EUR is going up -- so now it follows that moves up will be heavier as more passengers on board, so think the retracements/shake outs have to be stronger / more violent to the downside -- don't want to trade it from the short side just yet but will be patient and look for good entry point to go long..

    in for half position size at 1.45864, planning to add other half at 1.4582 if it gets there with stop for whole position at 1.4577

    Edit: target on half if it goes other direction is under 1.46

    Stopped out

    I just decided that I am going to go watch a movie -- it's a little slow and I'm losing focus -- going to watch Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged Part 1 -- yesterday I saw Water for Elephants which was long and below expectations..

    Got back from the movie -- not bad and probably escaped what would've been a bad trading session as I was trading the EUR from the long side and it dropped from 1.4575 when I left to a low of 1.4525..

    Got back and entered a long 450K EUR trade at 1.4539 -- just sold at 1.45484..

    Account Value 14,927 unless something dramatic happens in the next 15-20 mins, i am probably done for the night..
