EURUSD only

SL moved to 1.16190 - +5 pips locked.

H1 is back above 54 LWMA so my bias is still bullish depending on how this hour closes, but on the smaller timeframes RSI is overbought and Accumulation/Distribution is on top too so we're probably set for one more dip down before we continue upwards:

SL moved to 1.1622 (+8 pips locked) - trailing tight now given we're ranging between 1.1615 and 1.1625 for awhile now so I'm locking in my profits and looking to re-enter.

Edit: Stopped out at 1.1622 (+8 pips, total of +10 pips for the day). Will look to re-enter.

Edit 2: Re-entered at 1.16188, SL at 1.16140 (today's low so far).

thankfully i am never married and happy

SL to BE, am heading back to bed. See you guys during LO.

i doubt if i will buy this ; no volume and no interest in going up on hourly ; plus there is a possibility of a breakout on some news

Stopped out at BE. New buy at 1.16159, SL at 1.1604 (roughly yesterday's lowest wick). Guess no afternoon nap for me anymore - working for that moolah, will trail.

going short tp 1.16031

Just a little rant/reflection on trading psychology - I realise I have (as many of us do) a tendency to 'compensate' for my trade entries, especially during early hours when I just woke up or at the end of a long day. Take my last entries for example - my analysis told me to shift my SL to the 1.162x region to secure my pips because 1.1625 was a strong resistance, and the price was likely to fall back and re-test the 1.1615 range. My decision was to get stopped out with at least 5 to 10 pips in the pocket, then wait for a retracement and try to snag another buy entry between 1.1614 and 1.1615, if not lower. But I was tired and wanted to sneak in a nap after having my lunch (blah blah excuses), so I forced an entry at 1.16188, which was ridiculous because I was opening myself up to more drawdown than necessary had I been patient and waited. I was lucky enough to have been stopped out at BE so no losses there, but not every day I'll be this lucky and on another day I might have lost 5 to 10 pips for nothing because of my hastiness. Even 1.16159 wasn't my 'ideal' entry point - would have licked 1.1614x if I waited literally another minute - I need to stick to my rules of not entering a trade if I can't get my ideal price and to not force an entry because of FOMO (fear of missing out).

Sorry for the spam - just feeling a little frustrated and well this is the (most important) lesson of the week for me. Even with the best analytical skills, a trader will still lose dollars because of this FOMO and lack of discipline issue.

SL moved to BE - risk free again. This frustration plus all the market noise from my news feed is beginning to cloud my judgement. Gonna take some hours away from the charts, hit the gym or go for a swim or something to refresh my mind. Learning to be more disciplined a trader by maintaining a neutral psyche and not letting emotional frustration get to my head, so see you guys in a few hours

Lets all end the week strong today - earn some good pips and celebrate this coming weekend.

its coming

Sure critical situation , life on sharp edges! Still virtually on support, afraid if a crush, so try hold around or even better a higher level if possible till US all red news 4:30pm.game changer today. Both ways possible after that, bull may take advantages of being apprehension and 50/50news effects to keep weekly in a scarring situation for the next. . Take care. Fontu

my calculation was wrong, had to quit -5

Here all will win I think. So should not be any fault doing any short! 1.2644 to 1.1593 ranges may play again and again before some storm come up. No one way move around as next it may crush, fear for all. Take care.

H1 just closed at 1.1629:

1) we are now back above Ata's 54 LWMA.
2) we finally have a secure close above 1.1620/1.1625 after testing it so many times throughout this Asian session.

Reinforces my bullish bias. Moving my SL to 1.1619 - +3 pips locked. Lets see if London will take us back to yesterday's 1.1658 range again and possibly break the upside.

took a teeny long to test if my calculations are right this time

-5 ? nobody loses here ?

oh shucks today is NFP day, now i understand this slow grind

but with yesterday's london session high and low prices in a tight range its also a breakout setup

This is a sell signal , we testing pivot line from below

Maybe. I see what you're getting at, but with NFP coming later we could swing either way.

I'll be watching this next H1 candle - if it can't close above 1.1630 I'll be tightening my SL aggressively till I get stopped out and looking to the hour after LO to re-assess directional bias and re-enter accordingly. As of right now I'm thinking we will at least touch 1.164x if not 1.165x before your sell comes into play.

I hope we don't range bound like yesterday , i cant bare another day like this .
I want action

Good luck my friend - may we all snag some good pips today for beers and good food this coming weekend.
