Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

Will I get the two sales I need before first break today, and should I close them myself?
and received a response of:
61 Confidence Within
The Statement of the first hexagram
Confidence within:
Pigs. Fish. Fortune.
Advance across the great river.
Gainful purity.
The changing lines
The first line:
Expect fortune
while others are without ease.
The second line:
A calling crane in the shade:
its young are at peace.
I have a good wine goblet.
I will share its excellence with you.
The third line:
Encountering an enemy:
Some drum, some halt.
Some sob, some sing.
The fifth line:
Have confidence as if entwined.
No fault.
52 Stilling
The Statement of the second hexagram
One stills one's back
and does not move one's body.
There is movement in one's courtyard,
but one does not see one's people.
No fault.
The Image of the first hexagram
Wind above the lake:
inner truth.
The noble one
discusses the law
and grants reprieve
from execution.
The Image of the second hexagram
Doubled mountains:
stillness.
The noble one
does not consider matters
beyond his position.
