I've opened a long at 1.1600 and plan to add another position around 1.1590 if price gets there. My stop is 6 pips below that level. If the stop gets hit, I'm out and will reassess.

{quote} Missed the add-on to my long. At this point, I'm not sure whether I'll become a full-time trader before retirement or after it.
. The plan is in, the risk is defined, and the worrying has officially begun.

{quote}My remaining long is at breakeven. I may take profits around 1.16350-1.16400, depending on the reaction.

{quote} Didn't like the way price was behaving here, so I decided to close the trade at 1.16116 and lock in what I had. The 4H close wasn't particularly impressive in my view, and price is also hovering around a resistance area on the 1H timeframe. I think the market may consolidate for a while, especially with FOMC ahead. I'll stay on the sidelines for now and reassess tomorrow after the dust settles. Good night

EUR/USD has been stuck in roughly a 19-pip range on the 4H chart. For now, it feels like the market is waiting for a catalyst before committing to a direction.
I'll wait to see which side gets taken out first and then reassess. No rush while price is trapped in such a tight range.
Happy Wednesday all.

Let's see what FOMC brings today. 
Didn't get much done today, to be honest. Last time I was sitting in front of the charts waiting for the big move... and somehow fell asleep before the main event. Hopefully I can stay awake this time.
First FOMC press conference under Kevin Warsh, so I'm curious to hear his tone and see how the market reacts. I have to admit, I'll miss Powell a little. For years, FOMC nights meant waiting to hear what he had to say... even if I occasionally fell asleep before he started talking.
For now, I'll wait for the statement, dot plot, and Warsh's comments before making any decisions.
Good luck to everyone trading FOMC. May your spreads stay tight and your stop losses survive the chaos.

Initial reaction: slightly hawkish to me.
Rates were left unchanged, the economy was described as solid, and inflation is still running above target. The Middle East situation was also mentioned as a source of uncertainty.
Now the focus shifts to Warsh and the press conference. That's where the real market reaction usually begins.
Just my first impression after a quick read.

Interesting reaction so far. DXY has pushed higher quite aggressively after FOMC, and this is now the third time it has managed to break above this area. If these gains can be sustained, EURUSD could face some serious headwinds.
As I mentioned in my earlier posts, I've been leaning bearish on EUR, and for now that view hasn't changed. Still early though, let's see if DXY can hold the breakout.
This is just my personal view and I could be completely wrong. Nothing I post should be taken as buy or sell advice. I don't take trades without looking at the charts and defining my risk first. Please don't blindly follow anyone, especially me. I'm here mainly to learn, share ideas, and improve as a trader alongside everyone else. Good Night.

Caught shorts on both GU and EU today. Managed +22.6 pips on GBP/USD and +10 pips on EUR/USD.
Busy day on my side, so entries came a bit late and profits were smaller than they could have been. Didn't get around to posting the updates either, but a green day is a green day. No complaints.
Happy Thursday everyone.

D1 view: DXY is approaching a key resistance area, so I want to see how price reacts before getting too committed. My broader bias remains bearish, but I'm not married to that view.
I'll let price action and the available risk-to-reward opportunities guide my decisions. If the market offers a long setup with favorable R:R, I'll take it. If the bearish case strengthens, I'll lean that way. For now, reaction matters more than prediction.
This is simply my personal view based on the current structure. I could be wrong. I don't trade based on bias alone and always wait for confirmation before committing risk. Not financial advice.
