I kind feel the shorts might work ,,, its bearish rejection today but the bulls couldn't make new high..+ London closed lower... with month end closing being positive for Euro, ..but SOMA day being negative for the Euro... so shorts have 50/50 chance.....

I won't bet the farm..I'm more concerned where L close on Friday will be. It has time to screw a bunch of people with a down, followed by up to run some stops. I have no way to know this. a small norm at 1631, and L close was lower. since I wanted to long.. I can just wait for a better entry, or see where it closes friday. I didn't want to risk longing with a little norm at 1631.

I closed mt shorts manually for 4 pips.. the higher close at 1715 seems may have held. high atm 1717. a L close below 1715 today may help my entry. more so under 1694. since I closed my shorts, it probably will drop to 1631. 1631 is my entry,, with some possible support 1620 area.. some other ma entrys and closes range 1683/78/60 shot gun approach.. week at 1620...

I would consider a short at 1715 with a tight stop since the direction is still up, near Tuesday's LC, but also for other reasons..... I would then look to buy at 1619 - 1621 near last weeks LC, and for additional reasons, also because the direction is still up for just a bit more, and the upside is still 1791 - 1803 - 1810 in the short term.... 2054 is the sequence, but 945 - 1026 has not been hit yet, so at this point, I suspect the low 1800's may turn it back down.... Academic right now though since I don't often trade the overnight, and no time...
Got up too early today....Anyway, sold (a little late) just after 1715.............10 locked...

Luck O' the Irish today....'cept I'm not Irish

Trailed out at 19....If I had been awake, I would have noticed that it hit a baby mid at 1674x, so the bounce should have been expected...
Good luck today!
