woke up this morning to see that my sell limits were off by 2 and 3 pips only and I missed the opportunities to ride the downward movements.

grrrr...

so now I have no trades and have to wait to enter the market.

I know cesar does not want to hear ro see this... I have been short since the top...

My real target is the red 62 ema... I am not saying it gets there today or even tomrrow.... or when... but I think it will get there...

Can't afford happy meals this time around ! Sorry

My first target was hit... first fib line... going for the second one... and then the 62ema

Hey Tiki . No happy meals this time, ok

I'm also running this fib here, although my top here is 2.0131 (please advise)

Thus, my 23% fib is at 9912. Holding is bullish in the short term (days). Breaching brings 38% 9780 (next to my 4hr 250 ema) and the broad profit taking is confirmed.

I just few like a broad profit taking ahead of the rate hike (now market sentiment is that 0.5% is more likely than no-hike / 0.25% consensus) is awkward.

Today's hi-lo brings 9950s as 23% - previous day's low and at the lower channel's trendline (downwards channel formed since the toppy 0131).

I'm techi in this retracement but fundi in the larger term....

My MT4 chart says 137 high, but I think that is just from the spread... I always take what I see there and transfer according to what my brokers (oanda) charts really say... Oanda's was 131 too I believe

Not at all...

I just dont like posts like:

"TARGET 9480" ...

I'm with Tiki on this one, technically, although I don't believe in a 100 pips extension of this correction. I'm watching, though

Hi All, this is my first post but have been lurking in the dark for many months. Have to thanks all of you cause I have really learnt a lot from this forum and from my books (Cost me SGD 435.8 T_T) Currently I am still in red at more than 50% loss..... After looking at this thread I have a question to ask, aren't now we should be concentrating on japanese yen related pairs? Since announcement is comning out? So can i say that since there is no fundi coming for this pair it should be techi till end of this week?

1.9915 is a support tested twice.


Does Bullish GBP might consider buying @ 1.9920?

You're very much welcome!

I think my guts know more about trading forex than my brains. last night I should have listened to my guts and went short, but due to the conflict with my brain, i stayed out and missed out.

then I went long this morning listening to my brain and got stopped out.

now my gut is saying go short, sell rallies, but the brain is saying buy dips, don't know who to listen to, so i'm staying out for the moment and i'll probably miss all the movements.

argghhh, feeling like popeye without his spinach this morning.

oh and regarding the yen, next week is Japan's golden week (holidays) so we might see yen get a bit weaker maybe test 120 levels imo
