How many of you think the cable down to 1.7300

I don't think that it would drop to 1.73, but I'm holding my shorts

Why do some of you have to be in a trade every second of every day. Now is not the time to be trading long or short, in fact not the time to be trading at all.

Why why why must you be in a trade all the time?

I admit I do tend to trade often. I have a small long on GU right now with a few pips profit locked in. Is there an entry point, and direction you are looking for right now. I read all of your posts and have great respect for your opinion.

Make it easy on yourself. Look at any of your charts. If it's a downward trend you will see top left and lower right. If it's an upward trend you'll see lower left and higher right.

1.7650 is an area I'm watching for a possible reentry of another short or two. Might be in another 3 1/2 hours or so. If we blast through, then I'm looking around 1.772x. I don't believe the bottom has been found. I haven't seen the pits of hell yet and that's where I think we're going to land.

I like the 1.7650 area a lot myself. I wouldn't think there would be enough upside oomph to see 1.7770's, but who know after a day like this. I'm thinking the lower number puts the 1.7400 barrier squarely in our sites w/o having to have a totally crazy day like today.

i recently enter a short here: after the pullback to the 5m 200 EMA and broken trendline (that mades me won another 58 pips once broken) and with the MACD at point cross and going down. let's see what happen...

the 1.7650 is the top of the middle channel we're in currently. I'll be watching the next 4h candle which opens for me in 3 1/2 hours. I don't think we will see the 1.7770's again anytime soon, but this is FOREX and anything is possilbe. I'm currently still sitting on shorts with profit secured so I'm only playing shorts right now.
