Well I do feel a little bit silly for not trading my weekly plan posted last weekend (unaltered and attached)as price is sitting right on my target (I came all out at 2.0060 from my best long entry at 1.9740)
I mean now price is at my target im really not sure what to do , lol.
Price right now is sitting right in the middle of of my daily channel (attached)
I will probably wait till before the news and have got some cheeky buys set up near the 2 mark

This is very interesting to me.
This is the same problem faced by all traders .........scalpers, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly cycle traders, super cycle wave counters, etc. If you are sure that it is going to be bull or bear, do you have money to support
your risk?

Sometimes direction may be right but market can put us in losses or minimal profit for the first few days before swinging up even in the last day of the week, or month or year, depending the cycle one is using.

hey my friend i told u im keepin my longs just dont be surprised with a sudden change of trend because no body thought we would see 9500 area after we reached 2.11 and guess wat we saw 9300 area.

i wouldnt bet too much about continuous dollar weakness because we will sooner or later see a rebound and it will be one hell of a rebound.

plus dude im making a lot from commodities and i decided to turn live next week only a 1160$ account. wish me luck bro i will keep u posted.

looks like we have a triangle forming here on the 15 minute chart..Will be interesting to see which side it breaks..I news might push it down in another 45 mins or so and we could be heading down for the rest of the day??

I have gone long off my blue 2.0120 line just then. I have another buy over recent highs and one near the bottom of my channel. Target is 2.0280.
I am looking for the weekly close to be 2.0120 or more so that is one of my main reasons of many to proceed with longs and taking an entry now.
Also as I posted before I do see 2.0475 at least.

Yes that is interesting have said before MM is not my strong point. I have started splitting what would be 1 bet and in general risking less and able to hold out longer on each trade and found this to be helping me greatly. Really if that last trade goes against me straight away I am not that worried as I feel I can trade myself out of it because I feel I have a sound long term view, do you know what I mean ?

why is everybody so afraid of the N.F.P.. ? isn't it too obvious this time? All along with the other economic data makes a great looking picture.. Leave your fear behind and trade, that's the best choice here i bet.

dont underestimate the power of that number. if it comes week which im hoping it would we might see 2.0250 today. if string well i dont know but it might trigger a rebound for dollar.

Hello & Thanks Salah,

Even though i am not a fundie, i do understand those numbers. But let's assume it was good for the U.S., which is 1% of the chances.. would that really help them out? For me, looks like something bigger and more strong is needed for a USD good rebound, they are in like a 1000 problems which NFP itself cant fix; it can hurt our trades a little but it is not that important.

My advise would be NOT to trade on the news, wait 10-20 minutes to see the initial market reaction. If it dips, buy from below, if it rallies up, place small longs on the go with a 50 pip TP each.. That's what i am gonna be doing at least..

Thanks and have a nice NFP

no my friend of course not i am sticking with my longs for the moment but a couple of days ago i was bearish to the max and cables trend technically was bearish but look wat the news did.

so i always keep an eye on fundies because i might alter my tp an sl plus i am trading commodities (silver)
good luck to u 2
