I am short too at market's open as planned. But price might want to tag 1.1363, which also coincides with both lwmas on H1 before coming down. Trade safe!
Yeah, I opened small trades against pretty much all the gaps. So far so good... but haven't yet decided when I'm gonna chicken out and close (before I should, as is my habit )

Brutal Gap. Margin calls coming. I had one account that was hedged. It is still somehow a mess.
I hate hedging, though I've done it once in awhile (HAD to do it, more like). It just feels like prolonging the inevitable to me... unless of course you're world-class in hedging techniques, which I iz not.

Today's a little interesting.. Usually with a 10 to 20 pip gap you'd see it correct fast and then we're back to the same ol' sh*t again. But today's gap... I think it's safer to just trail your shorts, lock as much profit (I see support at 1.1333) while still targeting the correction as your target area, but also being aware that we could just go straight into range trading on the smaller TFs until London.

Just my 2 cents. Trade safe!

Yeah. One reason I like reading here is that it helps me with my confidence levels at times. I'll plan on a move I want to make, and then pretty much commit to it, and THEN come in here and see what everyone is talking about. It's always a nice feeling to see the decision I made independently being sort of confirmed by what other guys here are thinking. Of course it's not always right, and sometimes I see people thinking just the opposite as me, but it gives a bit of a feeling of community, if that makes sense. (Or "misery loves company" when things are going bad... )

(Hey, I just looked up the term, and realize there's some argument about what "misery loves company" means. One definition says that when when a person is unhappy, they feel better in knowing that others are unhappy too. That's NOT what I've always taken it to mean. Rather, I like the other definition: When a person is unhappy, it makes their unhappiness a little easier to bear when they're with others going through the same experience... to cry on each other's shoulders, basically. Oh well... this has been my little linguistics moment of the day!)

Shorts running:

1.13492
1.13456

SL moved to 1.1342 so +7 and +3 pips to start the week/month. Sell limits at 1.1353 and 1.1363.

Hello all, I am a new person here. I have read this thread for a while though and I most say it is a model for what forex factory should be about. I would like to thank Ata for the tone of learning, respect and compassion that is displayed on this thread everyday. It is an honor to be allowed to contribute.

I will preface my posts form here on to state that I lean heavily to keeping to the fundamentals which is definitely more to my strength. I can learn a lot here about technical analysis and timing, but hopefully will contribute some valid thoughts on the short and long term direction of EUR/USD.

Tightening SL to 1.1335 (+14 and +10 pips). I expect to be stopped out if 1.1333 still does not break. Following which, the more likely scenario IMO is going into range OR a re-visit of 1.135x (maybe higher) before any general direction is set. I am refraining from buy scalps for now, will just sell at resistances.

Closed my 1.1319 long for +10 to start the week. Do not usually hold over weekend so thought I would give it a go. Would have closed earlier but too busy and forgot market opened at 5. Have a great week y'all.

hi,
Daily.
Perhaps it means nothing but last time trend was broken it was 27th september. then it went into sideways channel...
it might be eminent a run...if green breaks up at same time red breaks down...EU will fall heavy.
if green breaks down and red breaks up, EU will rocket rise.
time will...correction...i will tell.

{quote} what does it mean ?

i was calling it wrong in my humble opinion,

but then so was my call, being for a bounce of the 79.5 fib at 1.12945 area

as we can see there has been an extremely bullish opening

Shorts taken out at 1.1333 for +16 pips and +12 pips respectively.

As of right now it seems like price is supporting well around the 1.1334 area and trailing well along the lwmas on M5. I will wait for my M5 momentum indicators to tap out and see if price breaks below. If it doesn't I will switch to buying along the lwmas.

Bought 1.13341 at half usual position size off 1.1333 as support. SL 7 pips. The other half of the position I will reserve for when/if my momentum indicators are tapped out.

The averages themsleves will give little clues here and there ,, they get the same patterns as price ,, altho lagging, for a trend change what has to happen to begin with,, a shorter one has to cross a longer one ,, they will get the same patterns as price they cant help it ,, they will get the flags and the h&s patterns in them also ,, bout when the m15 200 Or hourly 54 LWA looks as if its going to dip below the hourly 200 watch what happens ,, any bit of a rise here means what ,, Its then above them both ,, London will shake things up a bit but you will have a clue what may transpire from a good sup level

SL to BE +2. Targeting 1.1358 as a possible place to flip back to shorts but we'll see (too early to tell). In the meantime, if I am stopped out I will continue buying touches along the lwma lines on M5. H1 momentum indicators look like they have plenty more room for upside movement.
