Currently I am expecting a move between 1.1185 to 1.1222 area, once reached I will start to place short trades again depending on market reaction. My original plan was to start to build with smaller positions until I get a clear confirmation that we are going down again. On the other hand I have a feeling that I cannot clearly based with facts, but have the feeling that just maybe we will get this week a spring reaction and get back in the previous precious range. Until it becomes clear, trade safe everyone {image}
Currently In my range to short, got scared of the strong bull move in to the zone. Not sure if it is bears waiting and lurking around the corner or bulls bullying their way through these levels. Only time will tell, paying close attention. Still have the funny feeling of eurusd entering back in range mode.

, and balancing my 24 losses from Friday and today, much smaller losses in average, but also in volume since, as I shared the moment in previous post, was already in gain preservation mode, which I do in different fashion depending on gain%/time/setups/exposure...
Still have 34 shorts in profit. And now, a first, one long!
Beware the attack of the high big kahuna of a 1h candle!

Price delivering nicely into that H1 supply zone. I think it will hover around this area for the rest of the day. I took a small buy last night for a 1:2, but closed early as it was bedtime. I don't like to hold positions on this pair deep into Asia and early London, as the London shakeout tends to stop you out, as it would have my position.

I marked out that H1 demand zone before bed and was *thinking* of placing a buy limit there. Should have. Oh well, life goes on.

In my previous post I showed the H4 supply zone around 1300. NFP on Friday will determine if we get there, I think.

Well, finally 1.1206 also hit and surpassed to but 1.1214. I mentioned earlier that 1.1206 was the good short. And I wouldn't even have shorted it. 1.1210 -1.1230 area is better. Finesse and perfection are key. Good move today.

{quote} My idea to risk longs around 1.1140, is because I am relying on my weekly support sitting at 1.1115... Meaning: When I mentioned risking longs around 1.1140 (because of this week's touch to red channel line) the stops would be positioned 25 pips to 35 pips away from entry based on next week's support 1.1115, which is not a big risk if you ask me, considering that there is a chance of some 100 pips pullback.. But, of course if 1.1115 breaks (i.e. my "go long" idea gets stopped out) then yes, we must go back to selling! I hope it clarifies.....
My idea from last week has played out for 78 pips so far.. (I suggested some 100 pips pullback).. While I still think bears could soon kick back in, I would suggest to give your SL some additional room of some 20 to 30 pips to the upside (1.1240/50 area), just in case..
Focus only on what truly matters!

EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!

1.1300 is, IMHO, not very likely anytime soon.

WHY??

One need only look at interest rates where is USD and where is EUR?

Which currency will be hiking and which currency has no intention of hiking?

Now I KNOW there are GROSS measures and that there are many minor things that influence price action as well but that's MY story and I'm sticking to it.

Shorts? Lol... I have not used the sell button since Friday? So which shorts are you referring to? I was long since Friday. And last TP was 1.1200. Check my posts. People who know me know I don't short on a Monday when NY bought the previous Friday. I sold the brother of this pair today and cashed 28 pips there and the only reason I went short on that pair was because NY sold into the close. But this pair, I hardly ever short a Monday which comes after a bullish Friday.

Today for me: just one trade on a different pair. And it gave 28pips. I posted it live there.

Enjoy your pips. I made it clear last Friday that the uigh of Friday was not the short entry and it was very correct. On a good day your 1173 shorts would have been mauled. Just a look at the 15mins chart and it will tell you the poor entries you just made. 1.1206 was not the short. Simple. You have been on FF since 2014 so I cannot argue with you. You should be a good trader.

However, those who are ready to take constructive criticism will look and learn. And a scalper should be interested in knowing why I picked those numbers and gave the moves and it happened as said. No fight. If you had something better I would listen. That's how to improve.

Away and just have my tablet. But a look at the 15mins shows where the SLs/liquidity is: that area where I marked with black ink. I guess it is around 1240 area or few pips below. Normally after those stops are taken then a good retracement downward or continuation of the downtrend. It may or may not happen. A good trade is not about the pips, but about entering at the proper place with good reasons why.
