I was running an ea. I want good, and bad info from it (all is useful). Instead of curve fitting for the best trades. I want to reverse it, not repeat the bad trade signs. That group was a 35% win to loss trade. Meaning it wins a third of the time (losses 2/3). The only way to see how to avoid it. Is the see what it does. I'm curve fitting losers to avoid those.

{quote} just that quick a test. The month and week closed below 98.03. This can be a liquid sweep (Head fake) {image} {image}
the usd is not looking healthy below 98.03. Once the eu passes back above 1.1744.. It can start to support. The eu can rise.
Its acting as R there now. But it never had the usdx to help with that month and week close below. I don't trust 98.03+, plus some other challenges
It may cross above but still range. A day close below usdx 97.55, is likely a break out, along with a eu close above 1.1744

A b/o may get a 2x move. The month week 12h 6 4 2 1 are down. The day has that support. It could go deeper than 2x.

The 1h 2 3 6 12 day wk month are bullish. the 4h bear at 1765. The next 4h closes in 13 min.
+1767 sustained is likely bullish, it may support later
maybe resist some before

my daily is neutural/bearish but my 1h/4h is bullish.

i have been waiting for bear to take down 1445/1455 to confirm 1h turned back to bearish before shorting.

It didn't clear this time. Possible entry maybe 1744 if its supportive. I still think its bullish
1726/27 s 2 area

The day has 12h to close.
Both missed the b/o slightly. They may retrace and try for the day later, or not. But anyway. There is 12hs until the day closes.. lots can happen between. A retrace to support don't hurt. 1744 or 27 may be supportive.

I have most things saying eu bullish (last month above 1744, and usdx not below 98.03 with a week and month close. . The 12h closed above 1726x and 1744. +1767 is bullish, it didn't make the 12h close. It don't need to retrace because of that miss. I closed the long thinking 1767 may reject enough to get a retrace. Its up over 80 pips today.

gator April was closed below 1743 on my end.

but agreed that no need to retrace and 1785 doesnt look like a block to bull, 1835 will be in sight again
