took a short on kiwi yen for 76.40.. entered 78.93.. stop 79.10.. 78.97 is war.
I am waiting for 79.41 to short this pair!
its norm at 80.04

I am waiting for shorting EU too, 1704 is good number but will change to yours at 1709
Looks like MM2( 1609) held pretty well so far but my bias still the same, short this pairs down to 1417 area or 1208.
1696 would be another R for me(previous L and 76.4 counted from last month H !

1769/72 area is where I will load more short !

MPP at 1699 is nice number there
Will we miss the entry !!???

Also pending long at 1638, target around 1695

Trading against the trend is not good but just for fun while waiting for my short trigger
Will get some greedy for sure lol
tight sl would not be bad

No good with the way it drops, a retrace back to 1633, I will get out with 2 pip green

i got a piece of that spike at 1661.. i may get scared if the 12h closes above 1654.. but i did expect a shot at 1709 (some). so i do have some room to load more.
closed this one...a possible shot at 1880 again. lets see what happens with 1705 and 173x.. i took a shot the month would close stronger. days are closing higher now. higher above week close. NFp coming. 311k is a big #. i hate to be wishy washy.. but as things change u have to adapt. odds for 1880 have increased some.

I closed my short too with some profit last night...
E/U is in uptrend 12 hours ago since it broke 1647.. current stop 1608 at hour close.... US eco data has been very good recently, I really don't like to buy Euro and short dollar... even tomorrow NFP, ..311K is big # but a lot of time they pay more attention to hourly earning 0.2%, we definitely beat that for sure.. ..

i was sleeping..i caught 5 pips. 1709 setup valid. i did think the move was strong, and it may be. i figured it closing below the wicks is/was strong bear last week. 1880 was always there. it didnt look like it would happen. now i am not so sure.

{quote} Rat, are you long Euro?
I doubt your 06 will last long

only trade I have is a dow long for 8 weeks ago which I'll be out of for 11,000 today as I'm not keen on it anymore.

Euro I'm looking for spikes up but its been pretty crap since last Thursday this rise
Move that big sometime get a much better retrace than this but it will take a few more days of this crap before we get another shit I would imagine

The bigger picture is it will have another leg down at some point maybe to 11550-11500 area but these sort of anaemic retraces can last last a week or two after such a big move last Thursday.

Same here
Although my doubts are the same as Gatorīs. Maybe at the end of the day I will make a decision.
Or better early next week.

I'm everyterm

I trade a 35 tick 10s 1min 1hr daily

I can have trades for months and seconds depends on if I have screen time

I'm just telling you my opinion that I think we will see the euro at 126-128 next march- summer
Cable up at 138

off course I could be very wrong some sort of game changer may happen but as things stand that's what I think will materialise there is no way indices will carry on up forever
