This might actually be the only thing that makes sense in today's move.

I have seen a change in the charts today!

It started on the nice 5 level run up this morning from 7670. Have not seen a long trade like that on the 5m tf since....... I think April or May.

Summer volatility is over.....volume & liquidity has come back and market intervention is a lot tougher for the market movers. ( a 75 pip push becomes a 25)

Levels, trend lines and fibo's should start holding again and hopefully some order and predictability will return this fall.

What a relief that will be if I am right. I have a lot of trades that stopped working this summer and hopefully it is time for them to start working again.

I am not predicting any trend changes or anything.............. I just think there will be retracements instead of just consecutive daily drops like the past 6 weeks and rules will start working again.............Like the slow stotches to start working again on the day charts!!!!!!!!!!


Selling on every little rally was fun, easy and profitable but I think it is over.

WhooooooHooooooo Time to go back to work and make some more money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Nav, that happens to the best. You will make it up this fall.

I also blew a live account this summer. Fortunately, I squared the account the end of May and took profits out and only left a minimum amount in the account in preparation for summer trading. I figured I would build it back up quickly but still was not open minded enough to recognize a trend even when it smacked me in the face.

What and when is rollover?
Rollover

No, this is not the same as rollover minutes from your cell phone carrier! For positions open at your broker's "cut-off time" usually 5pm EST, there is a daily rollover interest rate that a trader either pays or earns, depending on your established margin and position in the market. If you do not want to earn or pay interest on your positions, simply make sure they are all closed before 5pm EST, the established end of the market day.
Since every currency trade involves borrowing one currency to buy another, interest rollover charges are part of forex trading. Interest is paid on the currency that is borrowed, and earned on the one that is bought. If a client is buying a currency with a higher interest rate than the one he/she is borrowing, the net differential will be positive (i.e. USD/JPY) – and the client will earn funds as a result. Ask your broker or dealer about specific details regarding rollover.

Shilva,
How do you know the day is trending or ranging?
