Look at the nice resistance at the red trendline..

We already took yesterdays low , but I guess it wanted to test the trendline before going down again.

you are the master of your account. your trading decisions are yours and yours alone. i do not criticize or approve of your decision. however my perspective on your down channel as someone who trades largely based on channels/triangles/patterns is there are so many spikes in the last 24 hours or so with the trend changing direction several times....your downtrend is just one possibility out of many depending on what you are looking for. i see a possible double bottom. i see 1.2550 as the midpoint for all this choppy choppy. i see a possible uptrend that was just broken but current pa suggests the lower wall was extended. conclusion...channels right now...hard to interpret what is the correct one. just my 2 cents

The two open trades from this morning...(I currently have 11 total on 3 pairs, some running for days now and don't really require much maintnance)

This in a nutshell is my strategy, determine the trend on 1-2hr minimum in the context of the longer term 4/8hr to Daily. Watch mt4 5m-15m charts for MA and S/R hits, enter'exit on (non mt4) 1m-6m charts and then scale out and set min SL of 1-10 pips or more depending on how far it's moved.

Let them puppies run and continue to do the above when appropriate. the entries I posted a few minutes ago are currently at 90 and +180 pips as I type. Of course, these pairs can easily do the opposite before going positive and then I ride them out and suck up the drawdown until the turn, or take the loss and re-enter at the turn. That all depends on too many things to get into here.

I usually do the same on EU as well, but today it's like a moose caught in the headlights. Frozen.

Careful trades all, and not at all is probably best for a bit.

and scalps are done for 96 pips total. done for awhile. too nerve whacking for me. letting open trades do whatever. going to get ice cream.

psi was right, cuz you can don't mean you should, this is dumb.

cobra, know you're busy out there, but thinkin of you... be careful my friend.
Based on what I see of the THV system, if Cobra is trading that then he should be OK.

we are ranging. i have no bias. i dont know where were going and if i tried guessing it would be just that a guess. trichet speaks in 11minutes. he can push this pair way up or way down. we are going wherever we break this range from the high at 1.2630 or the low at 1.2467. the trend is down over the longer term. i should be short biased but i am not (no massive downmove yet when all the other pairs got killed by the dollar). to answer your question...i have no clue..your guess is just as good as mine or anyone else currently trading

thanks, that's good to know, i haven't taken a gander at that system yet, but good to hear it's working. days like this can create heartbreak faster than you can blink, and methinks most of us here have been there, done that...

thanks for your input. Thats what i wanted some input. Everybody has an opinion & i do agree that channels alone are not the total answer. I just think this pair has more room to go down. gl

With oil down, stock market retesting its lows, and other currencies outpaced by USD, we are not seeing EUR drop that much. Could it be this high roll for carry trades that I am seeing this week, or is my vision impaired?

Edit: by my calculation, 4.4% carry

edit 2: and you pay 13% if you are selling (all figures annualized)

I was thinking along those same lines. We will know if the flood gate breaks after Roll. Seems like a lot of pressure not to have moved more.

I just realized something... I can't remember the last time I saw a "triple swap" on wednesday post. seeing vinesh drop in here made me think of that...

I also just remembered my "PA maybe slowing down over the next couple days in advance of G20 meetings" post yesterday or monday nite...

What a crock that turned out to be...

I'll trade being wrong about that for a few thousand pips any day tho.

OK psi this conspiracy theory is for you:

The banks know everyone is expecting the Euro to drop since it broke from the triangle. So, alot of little players have shorted and are waiting for the drop. In the meantime, the banks are keeping the price propped so that they can collect the current big roll from all these shorts. After 5 pm, when roll has been paid, the bottom drops out. Whaddaya think huh? Brilliant? :nerd:or crazy?

Hi folks
Yes, I'm fine, I'm preparing the brilliant idea from AK to open a new thread for the system, beside of trading.

I'm making notes on all trades to get filtered out bad ones (very few), so no time to have fun here for the moment.

For the ones that work with the system take a view always on the both COG lines, the PA is very interesting looking on that.

Back to work.

Have fun and green pips

one of my favorite sites for boring days...

ptech, I think they use that gold number to value the gold reserves of various nations on a consistent basis, somewhere close to where it was when we came off the gold standard back in the day. could be wrong tho. any thoughts on that?

secondly, you should send that weblink and comment to hank paulson. he could use that info...
