This is what I started intentionally observing since last August and until now it was a theory but today I am sure: As soon as experienced traders (or traders who have high impact) share their entries "on public websites" probably lots of newbies jump in and some of them probably use "highly over-valued" lot sizes which as a result triggers some of the major market makers to change course of market flow to melt away money of such which then messes up with the trade setups of experienced traders that normally would work if not shared.. Most of the time what works for me quite well suddenly stops working (or works delayed) as soon as I share my entry..

Long story short: No more signals from me.. and I suggest experienced members here do the same.. Be wise!

IMO it's not going to fall before touching 1.0955_66 .
That's the stop hunt spot .

Hope it helps

Retail traders make up a tiny fraction of total volume. There are estimated 1M retail traders of eurusd and FF has around 700k members so I believe big boy analysts might check it here time to time, but definitely not singular strategies, rather overall positions.

TARGET HITS @ 1.0953

Am expecting a reversal from here due to the trendline from WEEKLY TF,

The BULLS are very serious now doing their things
Will BULLS make it to 1.1010 before the reversal occur
or there will be no more reversal?

MY TAKE:
I will just keep watching my from 15min to 1hr TF for any BEAR PA
Just don't like struggling with higer TF

if the BEARS can make it my target will be 1.0885
BUT if they cant I will wait till tomorrow a close above 1.0950 is
needed to continue with the BULLS

For your info;

The US banks control the majority share of this market. Central banks, investment managers, hedge funds, corporations and lastly retail traders round off the rest of the market. Roughly 90% of this volume is generated by currency speculators capitalizing on intraday price movements.

The traded volumes on the EUR/USD amount to approx. 0.5 trillion $ a day.

The industry has no interest in retail traders who loose money on sites like forex factory.

Retail traders have no significant impact on market structure, they only provide marginal additional liquidity.

If a strategy has for a period of time failed to return positive results, the trader should analyse his equity curve to identify where and how he is displaying psychological weaknesses. These errors and weaknesses will always be the root cause of trading failure.

Looking at the market or imagining an explanation that places responsibility on any aspect of the market or elements of the market that are unknowable, fails to address the underlying issue.

The reason for loss / failure always lies with the trader.

WE CAN SHARE THE VIEW.

MARKET MAKERS and RETAIL TRADERS are IRRELEVANT.

If you think you can move market like that, next time sell everything. Your house , car everything. And bet everything , after you share an opposite trade.
Just share opposite trade and you will be fine.

This is what I did since August to test my theory:
1) I made one winner trade.. I said let's share my 2nd entry and it became a loss!
2) Same with second trial.. First trade was a winner.. I shared 2nd entry and it became a loss again..
3) Then I made 2 in a row winner trades.. I said let's share the 3rd entry and it became a loss..
4) I repeated again.. Made 2 in a row winners.. Shared 3rd it became a loss..
5) Then I made 3 in a row winner trades.. Shared 4th and it became a loss..
6) I repeated again.. Made 3 in a row winners.. Shared 4th and it became a loss..
7) Then I made 4 winners in a row.. and so on a so forth you got the idea..
Finally since last Thursday I had 11 in a row winners.. I shared the 12th one today and it became a loss..

So... long story short: No matter what you or anybody else tells me, from here I self-convinced myself (for whatever reason it happens) that the universe tells me I shouldn't share my entries.. Therefore no more signals from me for my own sake..

That is a good solution Ata, stop posting setups on FF and see if it improves your win/loss ratio.
