{quote} I’m thinking it spikes up above 1.1280 area and takes stops then comes down that’s where I’d like to short could be wrong but seen this before
I try not to think ,, as Jp mentioned ,, its trying to hold the 1st stage and tht is the m15 200 ,,other than tht ,, not much to worry about ,, big level above it has to get thru and as of yet it hasent happened

kinda like not a good enough guarantee,,, aud has got some employment news this week tho ,, should liven it up a bit ,, just fuel tho ,, nothing will be a surprise for the big boys,,one might even think they have a reason for putting in a big ole inverted head and shoulder pattern ,,if for no reason other than its just another swing on a daily chart

one can get it a whole lot better than "looks " tho ,, your nzd trade you have been watching come and watching it go ,, couldve got out a few times with some profit and got a much better entry lower ,, and yes there is no guarantee it holds even the 1st step for higher atm aud and nzd ,, both having a bit of trouble getting even a four hour close above tht hourly 200 ,, let alone the last quarterly low sometimes the tails tell the tail

Digs, I'm glad you brought this up. You've given us excellent tools for trend trading and I've certainly learned to use them until they don't work with good success


EU H8 stochs have been pinned at the top, H12 close to a flip, retail sentiment is fairly neutral, price keeps flipping back and forth above and below the usual averages we use in a trend (daily, weekly, etc).. just a confusing time at the moment LOL although starting to appear bearish. These are the times I usually do the most damage to my account, I suck at trading the chop, need to figure something out because we're doing it 70% of the time LOL.

With the extended range we've had for the last week, I am curious about the methods you use to handle these situations (or how we use the existing ones.) Were you looking for/did you take any longs in that period or have you only been shorting since last Tuesday lol?

Only about 20 pips better. And that’s unknown when you enter trade if one took small profits all the time they’d eventually go broke

Ill give u the digs short answer......line across the top......line across the bottom.....trade!

we have defo talked about longs this past week....m15 200 has bounced several times and further down the m30 800 has also proved strong resistance (big bounce yesterday)

but agree with you....not the easiest when the usual averages we use are all locked in the f-ing middle!

I guess there is some reason.
I will give 70% for up move against 30% for down move.
Good luck, Vlad!
