{quote} I shorted at 1851 sl at 1871 and set temp target at 1790 5 pips above 1785 But i think it will be down around 171x-2x area I did not put my normal trade size there, just half
probably best to wait for 1665ish b4 longing. other than a scalp.. possible something st after 1712/15

if that 1891 level holds out to R in this area. the compression could be worth many pips. the 1.1891 level is part of 0.86xx. i can't say with certainty 1891 area will drop it. but if it does, dont get in front of it. momentum and the closes still are looking bullish month to day etc. i dont use indis.. but i did glance at stochastic today the month, week, and day, all look overbought. even if 1892 doesn't stop it, its gone 1500 pips w/o much correction. the month looks pretty impressive on default settings. not so sure it will make 1.21...
100 pips is nothing

Yes Gator. Scalping is risky atm.
We might find a strong support on Monday or Tuesday.
Locked my pips! Got 60 pips half size today=30pips normal.
Not bad for the week but let do it better next week buddy!
I am not doing any trades now .
Will keep my eyes around 171x

tp most 1716.. if u remember 1712 was supposed to happen b4 1902.. but when adp released it went above.. the pair pa rarely forgets to hit a target. after a news event it usually comes to it.

Took it too early at 1790.
Any plans for next move Gator?
I think we can either sell the retrace or catch the bottom near strong support.
171x2x would give a retrace at least 30-50 pips i think

if wrong about being long atm. Some R at 1855 and 59 with 1866. all looks bullish. if market dont like nfp, i have little doubt it could end up at 1713 on friday roll. so if this attempt at 1868 doesn't close London above 1866 and worse below 1826. if nfp looks bearish i will be short for 1703 attempt. i closed my long +3 for now. looking to hunt tomorrow, after news. got a pending L 1786. tempted to s london if below 1866 roll
getting close..

not atm.. treating 1784 and 1926 as resistance if it goes that way. 1660 ish support may allow 1784 once more. i could just hold my trade for 750 pips.. and see what happens.. i still could let 1735 ish act as Resistance too.. but atm its not below.. it did manage a poke below. i am on a time line. my timeline wants 1715 b4 roll.. ny may want 1711/12 b4 its roll

Do you still have any short opening positions?
I thought you got SO at BE already!
If it wont go any lower than 171x after 3 pm est today, i would say it could touch around 1800 before testing 171x again

the mid for me is 1707
I wonder is it possible to have such big difference between brokers...

not the right one.. there were 2.. u have the smaller.. i have a post out there. stating i had a pending at 1900.. i was trying to enter above the target you have, and below 1902. i was stopped out by adp news. i only had a 4 pip stop..

3 min left.. not going to get 1715 it appears b4 london roll.. ny still may give 1711.. and a London roll below 1755 is probably still bearish.. got some support at 1735 holding it up. so 1735 may need an h close below also
