Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Makes you wonder did this EU summit change history or are they "kickin" the can down the road.

All I know is.......come Nov-Dec the joint will be jumpin.

HOLLA
Morning all,
Yes, big reaction to the news, I've been out sorting the car this morning, but it loooks like I've only missed some consolidation after the move. I'm looking to get in on the long bus though, looking at cable as it's had the best retracement so far, on the 38 fib and round no. as I type. I could take an early entry here mmm.. Euro is in a flag, so watching that too, and the last hourly close was bullish

That pin on the 4hr concerns me with cable, and I think I might be backing the wrong horse, but that said, a setup has come along -the 35/50 reverse, so I've taken it. Using eo's recommended stop of 35pips as well (but still 1%risk)

Taken half off at 19 pips profit on this one here. It's not a 1:1 R;R on this 35/50 cross and reverse- you have to grab what you can and get covered! Covering her at resistance/round no.

I hear ya bro, I got Aussie and Euro long, did try a long on cable earlier but like the true pair that she is, got stopped out and now she is back to my entry point.

Nice one Turtle. Hope you covered some on those. I missed taking more profit on cable at the former highs of 1.2625 ish- could have made 45 odd pips, now she may be forming a H+S, moving SL to +10 (90) just in case. Euro and Aussie look strong though, so that should help.

Now that's what I call a quick trade! The inverted hangman can be a great trade. Closing the new trade here +48 pips and still got the first position open from 1.5580

Can't resist taking a quarter off the first position here at the highs, +97pips. Will leave a quarter to run from the bottom- I'm an intraday trader at heart, so hate to leave any profit on the table

Nice trades today guys. I was short the EU when that move hit but had a good stop in place so no worries.

Took this EU short a few min ago at 80 after the 5M doji/hangman and with the 15M showing many wicks near resistance and the 1.27 figure. Took half off at 69 for +11 and have stop just above my entry. We'll either get a bigger retracement here or not but my position is covered either way.

Well done on getting covered, Dharma. It's come a long way, looks good for a few pips, but I've a feeling we're not going to get a big retracement on this one, so grab what you can, CT. The 15min 10ma is a good place to take some more off. This is a massive move, and it's Friday, and the end on the month, so who knows? But as long as you're covered you're fine

Ended up closing the rest after the 15M hammer/doji. I was eyeing the 10ema but it didn't quite get there...
