JMHO, but there's no sustained move thus far today, chances of breakout are getting fewer, guerrilla tactics needed dont overstay.
Although there was a nice little ride if you climbed on the bears back a little before ny session.

Yep! And my bias is north, but thinking more now that we may range north as the day goes on, not shoot to the moon.

Hi auxesis,

Wrong strategy.
If you lose your position in such markets, you are unlikely to get it back and may be forced to chase.

See now at lunch , when market sthins down, he comes at it again.
No matter the traps are in place, he is dead duck,

Hi ALL,
Now we know whose face it is.
I wonder how many agencies are assisting in these manipulative moves.

I am staying out of the market for some time . let them play.
I don't like manipulation and insider trading.
Someone should be in jail.

So no attack after lunch.
Lets see when they are going to war again.
Thats one way to revive the economy.LOL

Hi MaMood,

You're welcome.

Please trade carefully, and use your brains.
Also maybe print a copy of the thread and examine it carefully.

I am so tired with having to trade with manipulators so, I will take a break.

Good Fortune to ALL.
Don't rush, cuddle success with care.

It's been a yo-yo type day, witha lower low and the small charts are still short as price hasn't been able to make a new high. Lots of news coming out in the London and NY sessions, should get things stirring, be careful

Hi there,

I'm rereading the thread from the beginning and found some snippet of fti, that we should remember - at least me:

"The trick is to hold very steadfast to the position allowing the snowball build on you, the maxim is to be able to take the punches first, once the rubber band swings back, whack them like theres no tomorrow, within your capacity and keep taking profits along the way untill the frenzy slows off
then square down for the next attack. Important thing is to know your limits, if you have been snooked out of step, once you you get the chance bail out, log stock and barrel. Try not to turn, if you do, you may become a pig."

About trends, don't think, ask her.
if she don't tell you, wait
be patient, it will show, it's not that she won't tell you.
She hints and hints , but if you don't get it
when she gets angry, she'll tell you straight, if you can catch it fine.
sometimes she don't wanna dance, she may jjust want a fling her and there,so wait.
otherwise, there are many fishes in the sea.

regarding trends,
Quote
trends mean different things to different people.

the accepted defination of a trend is a persistent direction of move,
on an up trend the highs get higher and low stays higher,
conversely a down trend, when the low gets lower and the high stays lower.

no trends move in a straight line advance or decline.
within any major trend, there are minor trends, then there are intraday trend, hourly trends and so forth.
its your choice to decide which is within your scope to cope with.

For overnight positions, its only prudent to stay with the major trend, cos' no one knows when it will kick in.
for managed daylight you should always trade the dance.
a bad position in the 5 min plays can be made good in the hourly plays, and the latter can be made in 5 Hrsly and so forth.
It depends on your own stamina to cope.
Be aware that the overnight positions are only a fraction of the daylight management.

In your example we have been in daily uptrend mode, but I did highlighted that the CB was watching and preparing.
So even though it we are in a Eur uptrend , youmust be aware of the the players, esp CB.
If you look at your daily chart , you had 3 days warning of letargy and a final warning yesterday. Today a reversal is already in progress.
So during these times either you take bigger risk to go reversal or
just wait for clearer signs.
or trade the daylight trend.

moreover there are times where there are no trends.
or trends are slowing down, we call that topping or bottoming action.
If you trade trends only, do not feel that you have to have a position.
There are times when no position is a position.
If you traded trends only, probably 70% of the time you would be aside.

When we manage daylight trading, profits attained from that activity is normally used to enhance the cost of the at risk position.
Thats why I do not place stop loss, and by virtue of the overnight being only a fraction of daylight trading.
the Cost of the overnight is normally way off the charts.
