i was thinking as long as 2215 held 2575 had a shot.. closing over 2289 would have helped that view. 2289 still key.. chances have lessened.

Daily is still overbought so I expect it'll make another attack to the down side.

I will not sell however. I still buy dips lower and lower. We will make a new high for sure.

How Institutions Position Themselves In Euro/Usd This Week

Until Tuesday, institutions were seen increasing their net long positions in Euro to a new record high, which was shown in the latest COT as of Tuesday, Apr 17, 2018.

The institutions net long Euro positions increased last week by 4,013 contracts to 151,476 contracts. A new record longs

2,485 long positions were added, and 1,528 short positions were closed . Now Longs total 238,829 contracts vs shorts total 87,353 contracts .

73% long exposure vs 27% short exposure,which the same as the previous week

Looking back by comparing to 12/26/2017 report, institutions have increased their long exposure from 64% to 73%, a 9% increase in longs
and reduced their shorts exposure from 36% to 27% , a 9% decrease in shorts year to date as of 4/17/2018

This week Euro started at 1.2320 on 4/10, hit low at 1.2302 rallied up to 1.2413 high on 4/17, closed at 1.2368

Euro has been staying in 1.22-1.24/1.25 range for the last 13 weeks

Longs continue being added and shorts being closed, it indicates institutions's intention to push price upwards.

Long Term Bullish , Short Term Likely Point To Higher

Please note institutions take weeks and months to build a position in the currency market. For Euro, they have built their net long positions since 5/9/2017.
Therefore, the bullish sentiment is more for long term outlook, not intended for short term trading.

Eur/Usd: Daily Market Trends Update 4/23/2018

Eur/Usd On 4/23/2018 at 8am est.. Boulder Multi Time Frame System:

1H, Downtrend, Trend stop at 1H close 1.2293, Running Period: 53x1H
4H, Downtrend, Trend stop at 4H close 1.2396, Running Period: 11 x 4H
Daily, Downtrend, Trend stop at day close 1.2414, Running Period: 12 days

( Note: Those stops will change with hour close and price action)

Trading Strategy:


Currently 1H, 4H and daily all downtrend. If you trade 1H trend, I would say preference is to short as long as downtrend stop 1.2293 held at 1H close. However, Euro reached daily demand zone 1.2229-1.2154, Euro might stall here before ECB rate decision on Thur.


Support: S1 1.2256, S2 1.2227, S3 1.2180
Resistance: R1: 1.2312, R2 1.2341 , R3 1.2388

EA had 7 open positions for this cycle. I booked all profits along the way.
I closed last short at 1.2229 for good gains..

Good gains ? I don't think so ...

R/R is < 1, i.e. 15 pips : 256 pips = 1 : 17 , and 34 pips : 218 pips = 1 : 6.4 ...

if you are in this thread long enough, you will see I don't use those SL and TP.... those are auto coded in with my ea.. I used 20x 1H adr for TP and SL..
.I do that for black swam event just in case...

My real stop loss is 1H trend stop.. I post every day at 8am est.. it s moving stop.. it changes with price and time at 1H close... I always let me positions to run for some hours..,, I exit most manually..not by TPs ..

Sorry for the confusion.. I hope this helps...

For your example..in reality is.. 9 hours ago..ea opened the short @1.22633, I see eu rallied up to 1.2289, so that is 26 pips DD..I manual closed short position at 1.2229 ..+34 pips gain.. I think its good gain to me.. I would stay longer if this is a early trend.. unfortunately this hourly downtrend has been running for over 54 some hours.. 50/50 chance it can be a reversal.. I am usually not greedy at the the end of trend...Hope this helps...
