I’m hungover af and I’ve another party at a new mega club tonight bless my liver hahah hope all’s well for you too.

turns out that projection didn’t go to plan, maybe because of the news, but well wrong is wrong.

on a separate note, here’s an update on the average weekly range thing:

so far I’ve been integrating this in my trades by doing the following:

1) I start the week/day off by calculating the ‘mileage’ clocked thus far for the week (of course Monday open is 0 pips, and so on) then as mentioned before I add the remaining (take the 138 average and minus the current weekly mileage clocked) on either sides of the current week’s high and low

2) anything in the lower half, I’d buy every support, anything in the upper half, I’d sell every resistance.

Here’s a TE of my ENTRIES (disregard the exits, I just close every trade in profit regardless of how much as and when I check my phone throughout the day, and likewise I just load more entries when price is at those support/resistances): https://www.forexfactory.com/engweijie#acct.91

now the gist of it is that as long as price is contained within the calculations in point 1), the trade is safe with a max drawdown of 138 pips give or take. of course, the RISK to REWARD ratio is a little f*** up at this point, for one I haven’t been working on exits (I close trades regardless of 2 pips in profit or 60 pips, because I wanna focus on one thing at a time for now), so it’s a little unorthodox but basically the idea is that you can pretty much always get out with a small profit within the week or the following week.

You will notice that I have 2 stuck longs from 1.126x area - that’s human error. I could have (and should have) closed them during the FOMC minutes on Wednesday at break even but I didn’t, but I’m just gonna hold them (given monday’s opening price will be 1.120x if no gap, so 138 pips on either side should allow me an exit, if not a closure in small loss which the gains per day would override).

I imagine, JB, for your case focusing ONLY ON THE SHORT SIDE, this could prove useful for loading extra shorts. Looking at your box, if I were combine this, I’d say 1.1225, 1.1250, 1.1265, 1.1290, 1.1320 and 1.1333 are areas you could look at to build micro positions. You could have a hard stop maybe 30 pips above the highest short (?), where this number comes from 1.1204 + 138 pips then giving maybe 30 pips or so as a buffer.

Please ignore the USDSGD trades on the TE (the majority of the drawdown comes from those trades so for purely EURUSD the risk to reward although unorthodox still kinda makes the entry methods worth it).

of course, this is very crude and preliminary and I am experimenting on ways to make this more precise. Right now it’s pretty much just trading both directions (or in your case, potentially identifying additional short entries on the upper half of the range).

Let me know if you have any ideas on how we can further refine this.

Enjoy your weekend!
You hesitate, you masturbate.

Oh snap.. some store had a special yesterday. I took advantage now I look like an alcohol dealer..
So your liver will stay alive all through

Nice TE growth and that's not easy to come by..
For now I will observe the box and should the upper side fail, definitely the likes of 1.130

You will notice the entire idea/setup was based on the PA of this week...
Now, let's see if the setup they created will take infectt come next week..

ok.. now that you mentioned beer, let me see what's cold

Some thoughts on the GBP.

HTF is trending slowly down. We've been ranging on higher medium timeframes; currently trading above this quarter's open and monthly/weekly average price. That said, it's looking like we have a potential H&S pattern setting up; there's now a neckline and we have a couple projections to the area of a second shoulder, where there are lots of interesting levels that could provide liquidity and fuel for a reversal and resume the downtrend.

As such, this week I will be looking for longs to hold intraday and scalping ripe shorts, but will be paying close attention if/when we get to that shoulder area on the chart.... but will remain flexible regardless. The market will do what the market does in it's own time.

LOL well I did say I would be watching it closely Always appreciate your perspective my man, helps me stay unbiased.

That's one big H&S on your chart... bigger than the one I was looking at LOL... my daily stochs are set to 24-2-14 and have already flipped (yes I noticed lol) Still working on trusting them.

Nice to see you chime in man, I know I've been busy, you're probably doubly so.

Bit of an update ,,okay so it is late into wednesday lol,, weekly pivot holding er down ,, could be in for a couple big days ,, things teetering on the brink ,, bit slow ,, yen pairs making up for it but things quietly sliding into place here ,,, next decent support if one goes left far enough is the 1,10 ish area on daily chart ,, 1st time in a while the ole 8 hour stochs didnt go to top ,, could be quick and vicious ,, usd pairs kinda idling near their tops ,, ,,gold has got worked below a quarterly average firmly now ,,business may be about to pick up ,, just need one fat little finger and it will be off and running ,,the pieces are all there ,,,dont get caught with your pants down traders ,, cheers all

I like the way you think man, been shorting everything under the sun because of the H8 stoch and we're under the weekly/monthly averages. Had a few solid days this week because of it, despite shooting myself in the foot here and there trying to scalp the wiggles lol... still have a few toes left
