IMO news will always be somehow priced in the charts, so I trade the charts without giving myself a headache about news and it's been pretty profitable for me
Good point.... seems news spikes the charts .. but the long term trend prevails

Okay I'm off to the bank, I predict a 60pip move, probality of UP while I'm out, and I have no trade in, so it's a sure thing.

Spend it wisely
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

I bought 1.9854, still showing no direction, but moving stop to protect few pips if it turned.

Locked in this range, it’s very annoying isn’t it. I am just wondering what news is going to break it do we really have to wait to Thursday. I know that there a hell of a lot of resistance above but the base is looking stronger to me.
The 9807 is weekly pivot on my chart.

Sorry all, I guess my warning you all jinxed it!! very strange!!

To risk Long positions on pull backs to @1.9865 area to get some of the chop, no time to wait for the trend to change though, so risky for 10pips max profit.

If my order is not triggered and price goes above leg D, then the Gartley pattern is invalid and I take a trade on the break out of the range for 100 pips until the X to C 127% fibo for TP. At that point my Gartley becames a Buttlerfly and I place a sell pending order bellow the 23% fibo from leg C to D, with TP at 61% retracement. If not triggered again, well 161% my next target TP area and the cicle repeat again, selling bellow the 23% of leg C-D.

Let's see.

I'm not worry about direction. As you can see, I use triggers orders so If price goes the other way, nothing happens. But if my order is triggered, then I have to stick with my trading plan and thats called dicipline my friend.

Also my MM is very good to me. Never trade without it, just my advice.

Take care nAVIN and go live only if you feel you are ready, don't let anyone to push you into that without proper proparation.

Have a good trading plan.
Have a good strategy.
Have a good dicipline.
Have a good MM. Spread sheet is very good.
And have sucess trading and enjoy life.

Damn, I sound like a father, imao.
