If your smart, you will quit by 9 AM Friday. WHY? I will tell you why. The big boys are pulling out and getting ready for the weekend and that leaves us idiots in here to manipulate the market. The result: 1 candle up and 1 candle down. I have on several occasions lost profits made early in the week on Friday morning. The key, use Friday to set up your trade for Sunday night and wait for the breakout, Example: see below and look for a break to the downside.

Happy Halloween to all - whether "dead" or "alive" on EUR/USD. Analyzing "crosses" over the weekend to determine if my deads stand any chance of reincarnation.

Instead of rewriting this post as it applies to both pairs, E/J and E/U, see post 279 in the above thread. I have a direction charted for Sunday and will wait for Gap.

You are right - anything is possible these days. SCC would look like an acroname for some securities corporation or a regulatory authority, but I am fine with that.

Jim - When you say set-up the trade, do you mean open positions and wait for Sunday market open or plan for Sunday without opening new positions? By Opening New Positon, I also mean resetting your SL/TP of carries.

One more thing - I generally see fluctuations between 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm ET Sunday, however, my broker's platform is closed for trading during this one hour. Are these fluctuations because brokers are in the process of setting spreads/rolls or a break-out is possible during this period? If a break-out during Sunday 4:00 and 5:00 ET, how come? trading is yet to open!

More importantly I see Friday's close @ 1.2729 which is 567 pips below the high from just the day before it (Thursday). Talk about a reversal of fortune.

All I am saying, Chicky, is to get an overall view of the pair and it's previous moves. I have a perfect example. If we get a gap up say 1-200 pips against the trend, I will be drooling over a nice short. Both these pairs, E/J and E/U have bounced nicely off the 38 % Fib level and are positioned to resume the downtrend. Just because I say positioned don't mean we jump right in because anything can happen over the weekend. As we stand here I am looking at maybe 400 pips to the downside. If we get a gap up we could be looking at the type of trade that you could take and then quit for the rest of the week and thats 400 + the gap up. One thing to keep in mind about these gap trades is sometimes they take awhile. Always make sure the price makes an aggressive move back down, you will sacrifice some pips, but it will be worth it. Also, here is a good bit of reading if you haven't been there. I, as always, recommend reading this website complete before even trying to trade forex.

Always possible, I never take anything for granted, however, I am thinking that if this is a bottom, we could see it go down to form a classic Double Bottom on the Daily and/or 4 Hr. And besides, an aggressive move will tell us one way or another. Keep this in mind, the Euro is driving this trade right now because if you look at E/J & E/U they are both heading down.

P.S. I really can't understand how anyone can trade E/U without working with E/J

Hey Suntrader - I see you use Tradestation. I used to be with them (in fact I started with them back when they were Omega Trader). Anyway, I stopped using them about a year ago when they did something I thought was highly unprofessional. Being the hot-headed type I am, I threw a hissy fit and cancelled my subscription. How have they been lately? Are you pleased with them? And, second question, do you use their brokerage? If so, how are the spreads and fills? Sorry to bug you with all these questions. Just curious how things have changed.

Thanks, and kind regards...

Here's how I am looking at this pair...

currently @ 1.2750 or so.

Short & accumulate Below ~ 1.2805 {It may get as strong as 1.2860}
Hold Shorts to ~ 1.2650.

Re-Evaluate as (at that point) we may be breaking a HS Neck and heading Hard South.

I have been using them since back in the Omega days too - version 3.5, now latest version is 8.4 which has trade simulator for back testing.

And no I do not trade through them and probably never will. Never liked the idea of all eggs in one basket.
