  • Trade Setup for the Day: Short EUR/USD (February 25, 2013)

    From tradersway.com

    Read Full Story at tradersway.com

    EUR/USD consolidated around the 1.3150 and 1.3200 major and minor psychological support levels at the end of last week and continues to move sideways in that area today. The downtrend on the 1-hour time frame is still intact and suggests a potential continuation of the selloff. Take note that EUR/USD is currently trading below the 1.3300 major psychological support level and bottom of the longer-term trend line. After breaking below this support zone, a reversal of the previous uptrend could be in the works. Stochastic is neither in the oversold or overbought territory though, which means that ...

    • There are many things in the world I find baffling not the least of which is why a market almost always moves in the opposite direction of the predicted direction. Can anyone explain?!!?

    • this is just one-sided argument, I think EUR/USD may test 1.3280 today and close higher than last Friday's close. My initial analysis was EUR/USD opening the new week at 1.3144..but that never happened so upward momentum is in cards...

      kckates,

      Imagined that you were the one with billions of dollars; in order to get more people to SELL or BUY from you is to go against the masses and wipe them clean to make a profit. Don't follow the analysts, there are jokers or false prophets who just make neutral statements about the direction of the market. No matter what happens, markets will always go up and down.

    • Euro got 3 down weeks in a row, its just obvious that one should expect some temporary reversal, at least on the 4hr and 1H chart?????

      Tradersway came too late onto the scene!!!

    • Seems guys you did not read the full article before commenting. "Shorting at 1.3300 with a 100-pip stop and a profit target at 1.3200 or the previous lows would be roughly a 1:1 trade."

    • Euro retraced exactly to the mentioned level of 1.33 and now going down again. "Shorting at 1.3300 with a 100-pip stop and a profit target at 1.3200 or the previous lows would be roughly a 1:1 trade." Following my assumption you would have already made around 50 pips.

      katetrades, you misinterpret my comment. What I actually said is that Tradersway tip was so obvious that everyone who got some sense should agree that this was the right thing to do. Retracement up and some consolidation and down again. Look back on my comments, I maintain the stance that Euro is going to have a DOWN year.

      In essence there is a 50% chance of the market going long and a 50% chance of the market going short. However when the market starts to move either long or short there is a greater probability that it will continue to move in that direction. However what people do is close their winning positions when the greater probaility is that the position will continue to give greater profits and leaves their losing positions open with the greater probaility that their lossess will increase.

      Hence the old adage 'let your profits run and cut your losers quickly'.

      No one ever remembers the small winners yet accounts can be blown by big losers which almost certainly will be remembered.

      I hope this helps explain the perceived phenomenon.

      Yes, main point here is psychology.

      Because market needs more losers and a few winners to function.

      Incorrect - by definition no one need lose in a market - any market. It is such a pity that folks come around with the idea that this is the same as gambling. A market is a place driven by exchange based on different valuations of the same article. If you understand that then you see why some of the conspiracy theories thrown about here is so much rubbish.

      This is basic economics - check it out bro.

      PS: That there are so many losers out there is not a justification of your theory. It merely demonstrates in the case of this market that trading skill follows a normal curve and that trading is not for everyone.

    • You're perfectly right Loadedgun.

      I would like to add: "don't blame something- or somebody else for your incompetency"

      So many people want to trade, but you need to know the behavior of the market you're involved in and that only comes with experience, unfortunately.

      You also can't expect somebody to give you his trading system for free!! Unless you're prepared to make him an offer for a few $million.

      I see FF suspended you. I hope they make it permanent, because you're always in an argument with everyone. If you're struggling with the trading game ask Loadedgun for help, he's a master of the trade.

      If you actually do blame only yourself for your results, in other words, if you're just fair, genuine and humble and you're truly willing to learn then somebody might, just might, give you the distill of his knowledge and experience(better than any "system") for free.

      Given as facts that a)that someone is the real deal about edge and b)that you truly are and do all that then it is absolutely certain you'll give back more than a few million of fiat money. After all one who finds a friend finds a treasure

    • I'm intrigued as to how you can ascertain if someone is the real deal as you term it on a trading forum. I suspect the only way is results; if they want and need to prove their worth they'd have to maintain a log/blog for at least a year detailing and pin pointing exactly their time stamped trades, entries and exits. Other than that there is no other way of measuring their performance and there is a gaping hole in this industry between wafflers and doers.

      Q'ed Silver || long :at 29.30. T/P :30.40 || short : 28.40 T/P : 27.86
      Q'ed Gold || long : at 1605. T/P : 1648. || short : 1550. T/P : 1525

      Technical day trader for life. However, Ben, FOMC, Mario and ECB are not to be messed with.

      Good Luck all.
