Right now I am on hold...... Because if the retrace doesn't happen then another sideway move......

two 20 minute candles open on the same pivot which means it isn't good for right now to be in any trade.

I've been short with around +30 pips. Thinking it's still going to go farther down because of the trend line.

The 20 minute trend is sliding under the crossing which still indicates a retrace

so you think we're heading south as well Dove? Especially after this retrace?

You traders don't do what I did until you are sure and comfortable with this type of trading..... I shouldn't had said anything and I apologize... The retrace has kicked in and now we wait until it hits the central or close to it whichever come first.

What is making it tough for you traders is you don't have the same indicators as I do and you won't with charting system you have..... What I'm seeing for right now is this thing blowing the door open at the 86 and continue on with the trend up. We will see when it gets there.

Right..Central Pivot is 118.86 correct? That's also my 61.8 fib line. I'm expecting it to retrace there and then I'll add another small position for the trade down.

I have been following this pair and thanks to everyone for their contributions. I had reasons for the following trade but I really believe I got somewhat lucky. Beginners luck since I am new to forex trading. Maybe someone can learn from this post. I mainly took this trade because I saw a top and overbought on the stochastic. The line at 118.51 was the target because it was the top of the red and green candles previously. So, I went short at 118.73 and set my limit at 118.57 above the target line to be conservative.

Well that's not a good sign. I have s/l for +2 pips just in case.

The 118.57 is a support on the fibo..... It didn't break it and the retrace happen and now it may continue with the trend.

if it breaks through the 86 then the first target is 119.21 and then a retrace, then on to the 119.57 which is the R1.... I'll let you know when we get there.

Dove,
The central is 118.86, right? How did you arrive at the Daily being 118.37?

I'm looking for the bid ride down. I missed the big ride up today because everyone kept telling me I should just take profit, so I did. The one time I took profit of course would be the time the wave went really high. I missed out on 40-60 pips.

closed my trade @118.75 I see too much indecision on the 5min and 15min (Doji candles). I will wait for .86 to be broken for another possible trade as Dove has stated.
