I would like to dedicate this post to Randy Wagner, the late great lead guitarist of Aborted Baby Lucifer who passed away this week during one of our shows.
Our drummer Bobby Excitement and I got into a little bit too much sacramental wine before a show one evening. While we were preforming, I got tangled in my musical gear and fell into the baptismal font, splashing water towards Randy’s amplifier. Electricity flowed from the amplifier to Randy via the water during a solo, and he collapsed in a horrifyingly jittery and smokey way.
The fans loved it; and it was probably the best Christian Death Metal show EVER, hands down. Don’t be bummed out, this is truly the way Randy would have wanted to make the journey to the pearly gates. He’s probably up there right now giving the upside down anti-devil horn symbol with his hands upon all of us with Elvis and Mozart at his side.
While we were searching for a new lead guitar player (which shouldn’t be that hard to find with the bad employment numbers and so many unemployed guitarists), I did a few trades this week.
The best one was long EUR/USD. It came down to the 78.6% retracement from the last move up, so I started looking for signs of a reversal.
A hammer formed on the 30min chart near the 78.6%, so I started to look for confirmation of support before going long. A nice doji formed and I started a position after it formed. Scaling out of the position as soon as I could to lower risk.
The currencies seem to give lots of signs when they are topping or bottoming, jumping in early might get you stopped out.
I still have a runner going, and I can already pay for the equipment we lost in the tragedy. If the EUR/USD keeps going, I will be able to help out with the funeral arrangements for Randy.
