{quote} The trap may require 1460 to break it. 1460 would mean pa above the R at 1347/49. 1460 is below 1492. Not impossible, but not an easy task. The attraction to 1337/38 may lead pa to 1245. If this is a trap. Thats the white lines in the arrangement I have. The path in white lines. 1337/38 is below 1351. The purple path is far 1.0923

Now.... I do not believe in stop loss hunts or any other such voodoo. There are only better traders. Now, with that out of the way, I do see something over and over and over again which really puzzles me... multiple surges on multiple pairs all exactly at once. Is there anyone here who actually has a real explanation for this? It literally just happened again, not that I am complaining as I was on the right side of the trade... this time

Let me get this straight, you insult people who use a stop loss. Yet when the USD gets stronger, your not getting it?

i wanted to go long on that dumb headline especially since i see there is a edge - Bloomberg is not reporting every crazy headline
cnn anything pro Ukraine not verified and complete BS

anyway - manage to close some shorts myself still pretty much naked short on eur/usd
don't see anything that would help EUR in the short term but got to stick to charts.

That spike down made me money. I was short from 1374. Just a speculative short at the end of yesterday and woke up this morning to see the spike down. Well... volatility.

I'm not to old to remember. About 10 days before a Georgia attack. There was some type of Putin BS decreasing the invasion likelihood. I suspect the same thing is happening now. Meanwhile the U.S. is reporting a 7% increase in troops headed to the border.

yeah
hard to trade -

one thing i have to say

it's amazing how ES_F - Indices in general especially European indices are resisting to sell
i could say the same thing about EUR just amazing.

With such a negative risk - we should have traded way lower imho so when things settle expect some huge moves on RISK
March 16 FED is almost here. and nobody is afraid - tape seems very bullish

Its above 1338 st bull side. above 1359 bull side. above 1369.9, bull side. But not above 1387/88 bear side. It can get a reject there again. Bulls want closes above,, 1388, or it will drop again to some of those others. Bears want it closing below 1308, to drop to 1245.

Its on the bear side of 1447/49 and 1492. The year closed below 1449 at 1369x. the week and month closed below 1369x.

Once a month closes below 1208 and better below 1177. It should allow a fall. Closing a month above 1449 or 1492 should allow more rise. Since the year close below 1447/49. I have to go with that, It would be more bearish had it closed below 1331. You have to play the hand dealt. Jan closed below 1369 and 1331. But not below 1208/10. Chop chop, maybe after the raise it may get smother.
