20 more from 4229 to 09. sweet.

and reentered again at 29 on the retrace, taking this one to M1 (4182) as R1 is firmly broken on UJ...

Ak4x, we have different S1s, I think. I'm using 4207, which comes from SDX-TZPivots indicator. I think you're using something like 4236, which is what ActionForex site has. Is that because you and they are using 5:00pmEDT for close of day, and therefore daily pivot calculation?

Thanks,
Ed

probably, but mine are calculated by the pivot tool on accucharts that let me set all the parameters. actionforex is the next best source for 5pm pivots tho imo and they do offer other calculation methods as well. play around and see which ones price respects best for the way you trade.

ooops, chopped of S3 at 1.3975.

Yes, I agree with you about what works. I usually prefer the 2000EDT close, and yours and ActionForex's certainly match up. In this case, I like yours best because you're trading with the trend, away from the pivot, while I've been breaking one of my rules by trading "up" (long). Tonight it's working.

This thing should go up soon shouldn't it? I have it sitting in a downward channel that started about 7:00am EDT today. I realize that's not a very long period, but hell that's about the longest you can believe in nowadays.

well all i can say is all my stuff is still pointing south, the 2 hr closes in 10 minutes or so, and it's very close to confirming the cross for the down on the longer TF, but 10 minutes is 10 minutes for a reason, so I wait.

It seems to have stalled at 4250ish for now, Uj looks to have completed it's retrace and maybe to move north again. I'd expect down still, but it may just stall out here and aggravate us as well. My 3rd short was taken out at +3 so that move will have to wait till later.

Maybe a little optimistic about that M1 move earlier but 43 pips on scalps works for me. I'll reload when the downward mom picks back up, hopefully soon. If it just plays with us here much longer, I'm done for the night.

On second thought, I may close my long (from 4257) if I get the chance. Looking at the M4, and assuming I've got this right, pa could go to 4181 before turning north.

Experts, thoughts?

No expert, but 2 things...

1. Trend is down on any reasonable trading TF

2. It could go to 4181 and NOT turn north.

Manana is Freaky Freakin Friday x 4 don't forget... I'll be nowhere near a computer with trading software on it.

That was 3 things, I know.


PS Short again from 4250.

PSS UJ just broke M4... sweet for EU shorts.

Nothing but rumor. I don't think it would happen even if the Dems gain a further majority in Congress come Nov. Too many big boys would fight it, meaning envelopes passed to our favorite Senator's. Of course all legally done. Yeah right.
