{quote} the lowest close is still 1704.. bulls safe until that changes... safe dont mean it will not hit 1650.. it matters where it closes. the ny one is 1723. back then.. a 200+ pip move wasn't uncommon. before then. 50/60 was a good day.. 90 now isn't so bad
Yeah..im not complaining. Still plenty of money in the market..just discourages me from scalping on the 1-4hr now. Used to do well enough with that but prefer the daily as a minimum tf now with 4 hr for entries

The two fundamental ideas weighing me on euro usd is the nfp could be lower than expected BUT only as a result of temporary disaster with the hurricanes..not overall economic health..however..lower eur/usd could give ECB a chance to pull back stimulus..ultimately continuing the trend up again. Any thoughts on those?
ECB hates EU goes to 1.20... I don't think 1.17 is lower enough for them.. .. currently EU is top out at 120.28.. unless it breaks above that, i will short every bounce till I see 1.1500-1.1600 for swing trades...plus US data starts to get better lately, imagine those hedge funds start to close their dollar shorts....

the month close below 1826 puts the wind to your back.. the week and day still haven't said uncle. still a good chance to attraction at 1873 this month.. and 1964 b4 1580..

A lot of hedge funds have been added to their dollar shorts..not closing them. That doesnt mean they are right obviously.. I mean 1.5-6 is easily a good retracement area for the trend.. in the long term.. to touch back on previous month highs seems natural enough given the r it ran into as well as yellen tempting investors with a December hike and ECB looking for better positioning to ease up

I am patiently waiting for the magic numbers of yours .. 1873 and 1964,, really hope we get there first... you are almost always right since I follow you...I had those two pending orders entered last week since you mentioned

not many exceptions.. its hard to get 7 candles the same color in a row. it had 9 2014/15 run. 6 this last one.. last month was red. it could start all over, red or green. just remember, in 2008. the Fed had massive printing. The ecb had less easing. yet the eu dropped. all the pre-crash theories from the experts went into the toilet. the more the fed printed. the stronger the usd got. the experts had to change their theories to fit the market pa. no set rules can capture the variables of a world economy, too many moving parts. this is all new with a worlds influence. we never had a major war yet.

He accurately called his boss a moron, and yet, he's kissing ass to stay on.

{quote} if you're using adr. the high is 1787.. adr range if it remained bearish may place it below 1734. if the L roll manages to close above 1762. it's more likely to remain bullish (with neutral news. news not known atm. lots of varibles). if it closes below 1762. that range 1695/1734 will probably be more likely on the lower end, below 1734. if it held at all.
depending on this close.. in 5 min.. 1734 with a tiny stop.. or 1705-

a few mins to go for L close it seems it will close below your 1762,, I guess I will hold my 1762 short ( a bored entry, ) to 1734.... did short at 1.1781 an hour ago, closed that too earlier..

i am trying to catch the edge. 1704 hasn't closed below yet another day. hoping to catch 1787/66 spike.. then ride it to 1705, if 1746 allows. it missed 1734, that and a red Lday may give that 15 min db a problem.. enough to head for 1704.. yellen/dragis not included.. trying to catch the 1766.6 wick

let me disclose.. i am having a kidney stone attack.. i am under the influence of pain meds. i usually dont take these meds for most k stones.. this particuliar time it's pretty annoying, so i did. i feel slightly loaded. i do have another bullish setup.. that one along with the red L close would be better with a entry on the touch of 1734... and closed below 1733 (S/O -1733).. the bull one has the better R/R because entry to stop is only 3 pips +spread. it fails at 1732.. the red Lday leads me to believe 1734 has a good chance of being hit. its the reason in the other setup i wanted to tp some 1734/46
