Difficult market today, technically speaking. Kick me in leg if I'm missing something. I spot few good reasons to trade right now.
The G/U pulled back and is now regrouping. The E/U does not have the strength to continue its move up, but I do not want to sell it. I am on the sideline watching.

The E/U looks like it has decided to move, so I am buying.

I agree, there is no point in "punting" Patience and Discipline, the sun can't shine every day, take only the trades the jump out at you.

support/resistance and fibo are the main techy indicators used.

draw them from close prices, not candle stick high/lows...
Hi, i've seen some traders do this, their reason is becoz it does not reflect true value, those wicks suggest price at that level was rejected.

But one could argue that market did get there in the first place, proly due to irrationalism.

I excited my long E/U position with only a 10 pip gain. Tomorrow is another opportunity.

Well said, a risk-saving strategy.

I had looked at the Daily G/U, but it is so ugly, to volatile, so I focused on H1. I am watching how the E/U does not have the strength to move up.

Possible, but looking at the confluence between daily range and last previous high/support I'm targeting .5650 area.

Hi there. Looks like you have triangle forming on daily. Don't got anything else on that pair. Not even some easy S/R areas. Starting to miss those days when trends where so clear. Gbp/usd, eur/usd and aussy dollar up.
Usd/chf, usd/jpy and usd/cad down. Check. Never take position against the main trend. Check. Profits. Check. Now I need to use my brain again

I agree. E/U looks like it is about to move down. The G/U has already broken down, but I am waiting for the news to come out.

I sold the E/U and exited with a 21 pip gain. I trade the first 3 hours of the London session, and my daily goal is 20 - 30 minimum. I used the 5 min chart to set some targets. The red line on the 5 min chart was the level where I thought the pair would have some trouble. I drew a horizontal line on the H1 chart where I thought it ultimately go. I exited at the red line of my 5 min chart, but it did go down the the horizontal line I drew.

I sold the E/U after German factory orders came out. I moved target (red line on 5 min chart) to 1.54240. I have to admit that I did not wait to exit, but closed a little early. I had a 26 pip gain.
