{quote} i doubt u will get a reload there tomorrow, if it closes 1895 + now. and +1901 in 2.5 hours. if it does.. it would probably put 2030 attempt in play tomorrow.
true. however, this is what im looking at...that if might play out if the bulls make use of Buba, other than that, id see

i hear you, but those unemployment figures might just push it back to 1866 and then 1850
this if playing out. which might bring the 1800 into play tomorrow.
for now ill wait to see what wiedmann does.

it will pop out of one side.. the trend, one could argue is up. or one could argue its moved 1700 pips. 187x-ish is a interesting place to me. i was holding out for 2166 to short.. about 300 north.. its atm is near that 1826/1840 area. i figure the reward is less than the risk.. i may be wrong..

L close was lower.. bulls didnt show up enough to stop slide.. i closed 1/2.. try again 1841 or 1827..

gone.. 2030+ close on the week doesn't look good atm. hoping to catch a wave from 1826/41 to close Friday out. L close today was exactly 1877. not sure it will rise.. with the day lower it may dip first..

Levels are not tradable right now it will kill stops both ways ...I took my loss this morning will not short under 1.2025-30 or long before 1.1946-25.... Friday tomorrow ..1 of those days that the news spike reversed ...The time I respect my plan and not open during news to add on loosing trade bcuz I got burned to many times...obviously this time it would have worked -
* Time for me to learn being patient and not over trade bcuz I missed the train.

took longer but the bulls got their shit together somewhat. Looks like we are in for party friday, Vlieghe spoke the cable up, and that trade balance has helped the bulls a little, so we for now im looking at 1955 and further up 1985, would be awesome to a test of 2000, before the retail sales figures, lets see how this plays out though. Ill be on the sidelines.

a bull run would include 2030 attempt on L close more than likely today. if its just a normal bear retrace, 1964 may get toppy.. so to me either way its chances of hitting a minimal 1964 are above average. to make 2030 it would be above adr.. it has 5hrs to do it..

yep, well said, that push back at 1955 has made for a rather slow hour, and the bulls would need something to get them going to make it up there. my issue with this set up is that retail sales number, there is sometime btn now and then though.
side note: im curious to see what cable h1 candle does at the 3600 area in the next hour, because a break there might help give the bulls some sort of excuse.

larger tf should include 2166... its no different than 1877 or this smaller micro at 1964.. its just a lager tf..

it will work many times with you just sitting there watching, but thats part of the job. In this business, the trains keep coming no point chasing,

2030 is well above adr.. its possible, but less likely in a short period of time.. if its going to turn bearish, it may drop after 1964.. if it would drop, bulls may counter back at 1901 ish.. then try for 2030 and beyond next week. the L close today important .. being above 1901 is probably not bearish. it should help 2030 next week or more. if the close is below 1901. its more likely bears will drop it to test 1826.
i plan to tp 1964.. and possibly get a long in near 1901 again. i will not be around and it may just blow through 1964 toward 2030... so i may miss the 1901 entry.... a strong bull would close above 2030 L today

if its to turn bearish.. 1964 will probably be important. if it reached a new Low below yesterday. it may still end up right back at 1964 once more after. i prefer it to reach 2166 this month. if so that makes 7 green monthly candles in a row. its hard to get 8 in a row w/o a nice drop. maybe 1258 or better is possible.. still waiting for 2166 norm atm..

true, and the figures should have helped them but they are sleeping or something. 1980 was a problem, been scalping short from that level, going for 65 (trailed out) so now looking to see what this short term dance in the 1960-65 does, we might see 1950, but again these bears are just being bullies.
