Risk sentiment looks worst today after mondays bounce, seems that the bulls have second thoughts about thursdays cpi release, but eu is not out of the probability to rise above 1.0980 again. For now its good to stay out until more good news come out, but the bear could easy lead eu lower until then.

Thanks for reading, see you tomorrow for any update. Have a great rest of the trading day!

Meanwhile, on H4... The pressure cooker is coming to an end to hold the collected steam. It must explode at some point! The "Cup & Handle" pattern can not play out without a break above 1.0989 area... If Euro zone news or numbers interfere negatively (for example: hints of German recession), bears could drag this down to 1.0863... MACD is currently supporting bears! My suggestion: trade extra carefully or better: stay out! Best wishes {image}
Last point last part was Best advice for the day!

And I don't mind criticism and discussing trade setups, but before entry or right after the entry, not when my trade position is struggling.

The day I shorted EU at 1.0969 most traders were expecting 1.10, My trade had SL at 1.0981 was 3 pips away from SL. Today EU hit 1.0910.

This is true and the probabilities of a strategy in general are not fixed or actually known just estimated. When you begin thinking in this way it opens a whole new world of trading potential, that is working on having real - compelling propensity behind a trade, as that gives it the best chance of success rather than somewhat arbitrary past performance strategy/edge. I do then believe that knowing/having significant propensity to a trade allows you to much more accurately estimate the probability of the trades success etc especially when using a multitude of uncorrelated factors.

I think the whole trading community needs to wake up and start questioning if their trades have any propensity behind them or are they just gambling and trading two arbitrary lines crossing and so on.

Your chosen quote is great and I believe it coincides with what I said, in that all trades (moments) are unique and cannot be accurately predicted using past performance alone. It is a somewhat scary to accept the fact we don't control the fate of any one trade but its one you soon embrace as it is this risk that eventually pays (or breaks) us!

{quote} Hi Pedro Please explain what you mean
The last H4 candle turned the macd signal, unless there is a close below 1.0910 (same tf) the highs of yesterday could be challenged.
Also the area around 1.0905 is confluence zone and bounces are likely.

I never had a mentor but accept that guy ( Mark Douglas) as my mentor. May his soul rest in peace. It won't be easy but if we could trade with that mindset nothing can stop us from making money as the markets are filled with it. It's all in the mind.

The context is bearish but I have made couple hundred pips from this support alone.
It should break at some point though.

My perspective,

For sure, nothing is granted but I see a bearish flag well formed on the 1 hour chart.

At the end of it, I see the inflation numbers (red line) coming on Thursday like an elephant charging against us, beware...

I bet another beer that any break before the elephant could be a trap, but as always, if it happens, it has half a chance to be right as no one has an idea of what the inflation numbers will be...

All this is very intangible so the only thing that remains is good money management, our own rules and protective measures against the unexpected.
Good luck to all...

Yes. Back firmly below monthly pivot 1.0967. I don't have a trade here. The other is still above it's mobthly pivot. I will check again to see what happens tomorrow. At the back of my mind it appears the NFP data effect is yet to kick in.

EU in ranging mode, no trade while we are in between daily and weekly pivot. Price can go either direction for sure. My 1h and 4h {image} {image}
we have been in range trading since my last post. Nothing much to do for now. Lets wait for a break out
