EURUSD only

For all of you that are still emotional while trading I suggest studying the book Trading in The Zone by Mark Douglas (you can find it online Trading in the Zone pdf). If you study the book, the perspective changes - no need for fear, anger, excitement,....neutral is the best here...

Just cancelled my order since 9pm micro range is completed.
I'm still down -1rr this morning though

Looking up to NY session

This was a weird move. The sudden spike taking the Asia-Hi into an insignificant level then a drop is price filling orders to make a run lower.

You didn't miss out if price did not trigger your strategy and rules for entry. Be calm. Breathe. Ask yourself why price is going down and if you think it might pivot to bullish or continue lower.

100% agree, just reading it for the second time.

I am still bullish for the day, after my 4h shift. Still holding my aforementioned position.

Speaking purely from my personal experience, I found nothing in all of those books. Trading in the zone, the mental game of trading, and I even tried the Van K. Tharp course, a friend send it to me for free, and I found nothing of value.

I wish to give to you a very easy and simple thing that everyone can do, and that will show results sooner than you'll be able to finish the mook. It is a training that I read in a book that I won't mention as it is not really related to trading. You get a note book, and you start meditating (think for a considerable amount of time) on every bad aspect of yourself, you make sure you note everything, every single detail, every single thing, start from the childhood till now, everything that you see as a negative thing must be noted. You make sure to be as straight forward and harsh on yourself as possible, and that book must stay hidden so no one sees it as it will contain every negative thing that you've ever done. After you spent a month or two on that, and you're sure you've written everything, you'll make 3 columns, 1 would be the things that happen more often, Anger, Lust, FOMO... everyone has his personal character. Then those who happen less often, then those who are rare. And by doing so you'll have a very clean picture of your soul, and you'll try and learn with experience how to fix everything yourself, your way.

Simultaneously you'll perform something I like to call Awareness training. When those happen negative things happen, you'll just close your eyes and observe, make sure you're a silence observer, you must stop the internal monologue and just observe everything that goes on in your mind, and note those. You'll perform the silence observer on the morning and evening, and also while trading and feel as if there is an emotion affecting you. After a while (this takes weeks for fast learners), you must sit in a quiet and comfortable place and and try to hold one a single thought, it could be anything, and you could change that thought from session to session. The goal of the training would be finished when you can hold it for 10 minutes. Then it comes the hardest part. After you've learned to control a thought you must try to empty your mind. Nothing is allowed there. Just as the previous training you must sit in a comfortable place while doing it. The goal of the training would be finished when you could stay quiet for 10 minutes.

These trainings must be performed in the morning and evening. And the process must not be rushed.

Take what you want from this, and I hope it is helpful.
As a trader who struggled with emotions for 4 years, to another, trust me when I say that there is nothing better than you fixing things yourself, your on way, and this is how you do it. You know yourself, you come face to face with yourself, you accept it and you're not affected by it anymore.

It is once you embrace the darkness that you can see the light.

Much love Kejdi.

Knowing yourself is better than those books, master your strength and weakness. Those books will be your last optional.

Closed my buy. Will be waiting for CPI before looking for another opportunity

Thank you Kejdi, that was spot on and I will implement that into my daily routine because this will represent upgrade to my growth.
My take away from this book was how to see the market. I was revenging, being angry, blaming,....market has something against me personally ..
The book completely changed that perspective for me and that was exactly what I needed and now I will just add on to that, so thank your for your openness.
For example: Just now I did not close the trade, just because I fell it might go against me (fear, greed), but will wait if the price give me the signal.

Sorry ATA, that was important will not happen again.
Much love to all.

Be patient, wait for CPI, one of the hardest things to do in trading is NOTHING

Quick D1 Outlook

1. I don't know what majority is seeing but I am noticing EVEN closings around ~1.1608... This is important if it turns into support.
2. Right now bears are trying to keep going lower but invisible forces are pulling price back up into my yellow area and above 1.1608..
3. I am bearish (since big channel is bearish) BUT I am also watching if trend has actually begun to shift...
4. For now, I still prefer to stay on sidelines until price action shows me clearer direction... no rush!

Based on D1 and H4

My bearish outlook has ended.
I expect the price to resume its primary uptrend, likely starting with the NY session.

I thought I would never see it.
If not up, then down, and finally ... please drum roll ... and target hit.

I have now closed my shorts at a profit because there has been no momentum in the market. The whole thing seems pretty sluggish, so I'm staying flat and waiting to see what happens.

As many will know in here, I do not remove my previous lines as they still serve a future purpose.

Whilst below 1.175xx

Target remains 1.155xx

edit 1.145xx

My analysis is, the market will go up ... or down ... or sideways. Trust me!
What bullshit is that

For now I'm staying on the sidelines, with neutral news, honestly I don't know a direction yet, but in the long-term I'm still bullish

After a big move on 4h TF, EU tried to to get out of the down area two times and both were rejected from shown area and now a CISD happened in latest move toward the downside. i think based on this information we can have a safe first TP at around 1.152 in few days maybe and then we can see if it can continue downtrend or not.

This is arguably the worst CPI in the history of CPI
