That short trigger worked well earlier. I closed for 45 pips.

Now on a 5 min chart we have 71.8% fib extension at 199.84.

Should it break down 199.80 , the fib extension level, 198.97 is a likely target.

However the 60 min does look like a doji is forming and may signal a retracement up to 200.76 / 201.11

Well I think we are headed down today,
targets at 198.30 197.20 and 196.10
these are 61.8% 50.0% & 38.8%
these of course are based on fib levels from the LOW on 3/16 @ 192.66

the 180MIN chart this morning is calling for a continuation down. I was hoping we are now near the bottom and it may reverse here soon, but I think it is going to continue down a figure or two first and hit some of those old fib levels.

The Stochastic momentum at 5AM ET is a VERY LOW -57.95
the SM has not been this low since 3/17 around 2am when the price was
about 195.08. SM is like a hiuge wave and what it tells me here is that
the GJ could continue down for another 7 or 8 bars and at 180 min per bar,
this thing could be headed down another 24 hours before it reverses.

Yes I still have a few longs I am burried on. I was able to get out of quite a few of them with profits but once again I am in deep on some of my longs.

She is headed south before up sadly.

Last week I forecast that Gbpjpy would hit 198.

I was short from 204 and I just closed my 4 shorts - might be a mistake but I don't want to get too greedy.

I still think it'll go to 198 and I may short again if it pulls back.
This is a good concept. Next time sell half and set a trailing stop of 30 pips or something on a trailing stop.

Good trading, not being greedy is an important concept to success.

Or do you mean the often hidden or forgotten fib number of 76.4

There is no fib number of 718 it goes from 618 to 764

Once 198,28 breaks she is going down to 197.15

The only way gj is going up is if unemployment claims surprise to the upside

Things are not looking good for GJ on the daily. Depending on the news today, I think we can be in for some new lows.

Missed the 250 pips up but did ok with 140 pips in the bank from 4 am to 7 am my time.

The nice trade trugger cameo n the 3 min chart today.

I do not fully get the moveup as it seems the dj is being drawn up by Walmart forecasting better than expected earnings .... that just means that people who were hsopping in higher end stores are now bargain hunting at Wal-Mart. I personally hate going to Wal-Mart . however if I was broke it would be the first place i would shop due to the good prices they offer

I've never shopped at Wal Mart and will hopefully never have to. FWIW I'm long UJ looking for 102.00 hopefully before its time for Helicopter to grab the microphone.

20% of all US shopping dollars now go directly to china through Wal-Mart.
Wal-mart has more chinese goods than anyone, thats why the prices are cheaper, not too mention that when they are buying thousands or millions of the same item they sure get a much better deal price wise.

She sure looks real weak on the 60 and I can't see whats holding her up from falling hard again. Dow is only up what 100 points? Werid. I made up most of my money on those longs and still have other longs :|

every since you said you were in some losing longs you have been screaming shorts. are you using reverse psychology because this thing has been going up ever since? my shorts have been hammered.

I've got almost 200 RT trades for the week and I lost on only two of them
and they were both shorts that I got in a touch too early on and hit my SL and lost money. All the other longs have been good and I can't believe the beast bottomed out this morning when it sure looked severe to the downside.
And you have to admit those last 3 60 minute bars are NOT looking very bullish at all.

I am going to keep scalping them in range for whatever I can get even if its only 9 pips. MY equity is building but I am still down a figure or two on some old bad longs I wasn't smart enough to sell long ago.

What it seems like at least lately, is, if it looks to me like its going one way for certain, you can almost count on it going the other way.
