EURUSD only

Okay one final sell order for 1.1669....

pretty decent open. 6 wins in the bag for me so far. now I'll sit back and let some direction happen.

Okay, 1.16497 marked the day’s low. If price doesn’t push any lower from here, that would qualify as a successful test of the 1.1650–1.1630 zone, which has held. In that case, I’d look to switch to the long side. For now, though, I’m still waiting, there’s no rush.

took sell from 1.16650

From a technical standpoint, we’re now stuck in a pure 50/50 environment neither the bulls nor the bears have control. At the moment, the odds slightly favor an upside move, but overall the balance remains very even. For that reason, I’m focusing on the 1.1660 level. If that level holds on a retest, I’ll look to go long. Hope I get a chance.

Long at 1.1659

This CPI is very weird, ADR is 28 pips...on CPI imagine

Secured short as I was up good amount + I caught big moves elsewhere!! See you guys in london!

Started with 6k. I guess I'm profitable at least hahaha

I started with $2k about 3 years ago just to kind of prove to myself I could trade forex vs stocks and ... I'm hoping to be able to quit my job this year and do it full time. easiest money to be made once I found my groove.

Everyday its 5 to 15 trades and bringing in an income of $200 to $800 a day on average.. good stuff

Many asking me for my bearish targets for today.. I don't expect too much to be honest...

The channel below shows that ~1.1640 area could act as critical support..

I kept selling 1.1669 but I preferred to take profits early today... I don't want to give back to the choppiness monster..

Price is finally testing the 1.1650–1.1630 zone properly, with today’s low currently at 1.1644. If it manages to close the day above 1.1650, the higher the close, the better, then that would be the confirmation I’ve been waiting for. We’re not there yet, though, so it’s still too early to call it. For now, I’m holding my long from 1.1659. A daily close below 1.1630 would invalidate the entire setup. The day is still long, let’s see how it plays out. Good luck!

boring old day/week

Stepping down to M5, to look for a new long order opportunity...

thats fire man I'm happy for you. I'm definetly getting there ONE day haha. My avg profit a day is 170 usd and honestly I haven't been wrong yet. Every trade I lost was some dumb shit like forgetting the NFP. I'm ashamed to admit but I litteraly did that hahaha. Or because I constantly switch between TW and MT5 I get some stuff confused. I lost like 3 trades because I pressed Short instead of Long and the other way around. There's more dumb mistakes I made over those 23 trades the past two weeks but I'll leave it at that I probably made enough of a fool of myself already haha. But to be honest I'm not at all worried about my profitability, it may sound funny considering my current results but I'm sure I'm really good at this. All my mistakes stem from my crypto scalping past. I'd sit in the middle of the night and make about 100 usd every time (usually) but due to the sheer amount of positions I had open at times and bad risk managment one bad day sometimes resulted in a 1k loss, but contrary to what many think scalping btc was waaay simpler than trading EUR/USD. There were not half as many variables. Not gonna go into detail because you probably have a good idea since you trade many pairs not just EUR/USD. I'm sure that with a little bit of time I'll get rid of my old habits and learn to follow new frameworks and start making some actual money like you haha.

Looking to add long around 1.1630.

Inability to make that pop from the EURUSD-favorable CPI print bodes poorly for EURUSD bulls IMO. The market has had tunnel vision on Fed funds rate predictions. When their obsession slaps them in the face, something is up.

Just stick with it. I'm a programmer of 28 years and at my current rate I'm going to pass up my income pretty soon doing this. It works, you just gotta find your groove and stay in it... dont jump from method to method. master one and you'll be golden.

I mentioned my daily returns but don't forget you get your bonus plays and days. For you or anyone trying to make this a go.. stick with it and study the charts these guys are posting in here.. ATa has a great thread going here and I hope everyone realizes how valuable the data being shared in here is.

Awesome stuff

Thank you. But I have been trading for over 25 years already, and for around 15 years I have been making a living almost exclusively from it. Yes, it’s a cool forum and I really like that things here are handled in a factual and polite manner. That’s why I’m happy to share my experience and the little bit of knowledge I have here.
