{quote} Quarterly S 1 at 1322 seems fitting lol,, could dribble up to 1368 before but it may not let the bulls out from that area quite yet ,, it will play with them and keep them glued to the screen
played that game before... no fun....I like being on this side much better

I'm about to short if there will be an M5 blue TL breakout. {image}
Wow, what a big fall. I was out for shopping and missed it but not all of it. I shorted as I said, from 1.14000 and 1.14050 and set TP 1.13800 which was hit. 45 pips profit + 33 before = 78 pips. What a wonderful day.

Well done to the traders that have picked up pips on this move down.

Unfortunately, I was caught and missed the trade. Whatever happened to the bounce from the 1.1370 towards the 1.1386 lvl...lol.
And, I don´t chase. Another day, another missed opportunity.

I´ll target this area again for a short, if I can, if price will come back to test this LO lvl tomorrow.

The actual decision to trade or not has to be your own choice my friend,

you have a very long road ahead of you,

may i all so suggest you look into the you tube web site and look for all sorts of trading styles.

just type FX TRADING AND SEE WHAT YOU GET,

As i am tied up trading myself and as others are as well so its going to be all on you my friend

good luck B.D

Hi everybody, Back from long trip. Watched the markets but no trade. Still holding my shorts from 1.2430, 1.2303, 1.1868 and 1.1818. I think big dollar rally has started with Dollar Index targeting 101. Worse case scenario we can see 1.20-1.21 range, and in a week or so we will speed up for 1.08. I revised down my 1.12 target.
Still holding the above positions starting from February. The targets are still on but my timeline estimates were wrong. But it doesn't matter. I am happy to be wrong. All that matters is the market moving in my direction. I receive swap income anyway.

So as a summary I don't trade much, but as a result I hold shorts from 1.2430, 1.2303, 1.1868 and 1.1818, 1.1607 and 1.1585. Sacrified around 200 pips for wrong entries. So we can say 2530 pips total so far in 6 months locked with 1.1480 SL for all positions. Additionally I received for months and still receiving daily interest rates for all my short positions. So for people not having much time for intraday trading, position trading could be considered as well. You can still use Ata's method to catch the trend. As Ata mentioned all you need to do is to use longer time frames like daily or weekly. Also watch daily RSI and see if it makes new low or new high. It will help to identify if trend will continue or not. Fundamentals also should be noted somewhere to guide us and to give us the courage to hold the positions.

Now my strategy is to continue holding all my positions unless the price hits 1.1480. Will give an update on this in September.

Cheers
Position Trader
