Good luck to you - Scurt. I kept getting wiped out in that current range. It often ranges easterly for a few hours at this time of day. I hope it calls me a liar and breaks out for you though! My next trade will be LO.

Nice one Delite! I do hope my light bulb flickers and begins to shine very brightly soon. I have actually done well today. I think I'll stay flat now in case I lose todays profit.

You don't become an expert until you've made all the mistake! Adrian - I waited a bit longer before entering short, so I managed a higher entry point. My short is now hovering in/out of 2 pips profit...lol
