Its round trip, so overall just like 1 pip spread. Well maybe 1-1.7 for GU on average.

{quote} I was actually just trying to be funny. But it turn out it just prove a stereotype instead. Some of americans really are offended by everything. As scalper i'm grateful of the long term trader here that post charts. When my trades turn in profit fast, i have no clue where to aim. Their chart guides me where the interesting spots are in case i want to keep the trade longer.
true, actually the 5 min gave a nice opportunity just in the ast hour for a nice trade which aligned with the longer term trend. Hopefully you took it.

I noticed a number of posts this week speaking of GU being hard to trade, uncertain in direction, and the like. The EU/GU/EG triad for D1/D2/W1 offers some insight into this.

1. Note the white line (W1) is down on all three pairs. (Care to take a guess at direction bias for the weekly?)
2. Note the GU currently going up on D1 (green line) and D2 (yellow line) while EU and GU are going down (red and magenta lines).
3. Based on #2, GU is NOT the preferred pair to be trading, but rather EG is preferred. GU is moving counter to W1 direction bias while EU and EG are moving with the W1 direction bias.
4. The relationships in #3 give an EXPECTATION that GU will be providing a "bumpy ride" whereas EG a much smoother ride.

No prices bars required--a "smoothed view" provides much less cognitive load.

uhm.. last two weeks have been very profitable honestly..nothing more simple free money up to +130% of my balance only by shorting cable.

Quoting Luxyus
Critical price 1.27293, a close above of next H4 candle and buyers can reach 1.27811. i m still on bearish side anyway and i ll short on that range, on weekly i still see cable has to bottom
Quoting Luxyus
looking at actual weekly candle cable for me is a scalping .... range atm is .27900-27120. By considering the economical developement i still consider cable on a bearish path in medium-long term. Then soer wil be my main strategy with some countertrend positions sometimes.
chaos is just unknown order

"I" want 2720 (Monday high) or even better 2700 Monday open. But "they" may want 2800. Moving with the situation carefully

I simply made an observation that several posts were made about GU being problematic to trade for several people and presented a possible explanation.
"Bumpy ride" does not speak to profitablity. Ones prowess in trading during what some consider "untradable" periods is irrelevant to the discussion.

I don't need to lie, cheat or manipulate. Take it or leave it. Now let's see how many cannot do maths and thus prove they don't trade anything but empty blows.

And done on a trading level most here can relate to. So you can relate to the figures and know it is doable to generate 5% per day over 5 instruments.

As i said, basic maths and some effort.
