Steelhead, yes, buyers will hold it up, but the band indicator (and other ones) show you the sentiment of the buyers. I know, it's intuitively illogical and hard to believe, but you can't deny the facts. Why indicators and pivot levels work is an interesting macroeconomic or philosophycal discussion during slow market hours. However the question if indicators work has been answered a long time ago.


lol again indicators work im rollin over in my chair. Dove and I have discussed this many times. I like dove we just disagree, but make no mistake about it indicators don't work if you want to truly learn how this market works. Inicators should never be used to enter a trade.

Certainly, an indicator should never be used to enter a trade. A system of indicators with right parameters that works best for this particular currency pair should be used. Along with your experience with that pair.

By the way, the author of Bollinger band, Dr. Bollinger is a Nobel prize winner for economics.

They do not show you the sentiment of the buyers. Cause the buyers that really move the market are creating those sentiments. They use those silly indicators against you. They know how you trade and they will get you on the wrongside of the trade 9-10 with those silly indicators. They create the sentiment, and they are good at what they do. There job is to take your money.

Do you consider TL's or charts, indicators? I'm lost without them.

Steelhead, let's suppose for a minute what you are saying is true.
In that case, you must use the signals from indicators and enter the trades in exactly the opposite direction. So, you are 9/10 on the right side.
This prooves the indicators work - you just have to use them correctly

Steelhead, I don't have experience with EUR/CAD except a few intuitive scalping trades. Besides, right now the indicators are useless - you have to wait till the start of the Asian session for sufficient liquidity and momentum.
In these slow hours one can only scalp between the main daily pivots

The only thing I got to say is that no sentiment has ever given me pips...... Indicators and momentum brings me a 100 pips every day....... That is all that matters to me and - - if someone thinks other wise then more power to them.....

what worries me about ej , is that it's at almost all time highs, and it's july, and last july it was at all-time highs, and it fell, ''but years before that it was in a good up trend, so i dont know.... and it would be the first /jpy pair to break new highs, besides chf/jpy

i would buy, but cad is a currency that i dont trade, because sometimes cad pairs dont move for days, and i can't make out the usd/cad charts, i see no clear direction, but a big mess

EUR as a well-mannered respectable currency was the last to establish the new record - after AUD, NZD, GBP, CHF, CAD... GBP should have naturally shown that kind of class

This pair is still in a good up trend channel on the daily and the weekly is still strong and according to the monthly it is also has a good upside to it....... So, maybe it will continue and if so the U/J will follow.

the market is willing to give....

USD/CAD definitely looks like it's going to parity soon.
I will be shorting off the retrace to the new daily pivot tonight
Scalping with small shorts right now between 1.0099 and 1.0087
