Just went long eur/usd on the 61 fib retracement from 1.2330 to 1.4718
and 4h bullish divergence.

Wanted to experiment with an outright aggressive position.
Its almost good enough for me....except price has tried many buying attempts right above support meaning the buyers are spread out and not located at one single spot....it can work out though

SL is only 10 pips

as I said, a controlled suicide. Dont think its gonna last long
If you're going to do that, then watch Raczeks posts. It's a lot more controlled than it appears. Watch and learn there.

10 Pips. lol

...Not trying to be mean, but from the first week I started watching the FX screens I could see stop runners would kill you, trading like that.

Yeah! Nice Fib. Divergence and Location
Better to wait for PA, aggresive position is SCARY

It looks like GJ is going to make a new all time low, beating 129.50 back in the early 90's
I think this may be because GU seems to still have another 150 pips to go down before it hits 1.45.
Hopefully then we'll see fireworks!

GJ did form a 30 min Bullish pin off 130.50, but you couldnt trade something so small in the wake of such a big down move

Any comments?

I've been inspired by all this selling when going up, buying when going down that you & raczekfx have been doing. I'm in a USD CHF short likewise.

also in this short - pin off 4hr - in traffic, but a breakout and pullback to the TL (i know this TL has been broken in past, but has acted as S/R)
then took the 1hr BEOB
1st problem area at 11120

Once a trendline is crossed several times from side to side it means its loosing respect ...meaning less attention of buyers or sellers around ...when this takes place it removes some probabilty of the trade being good...just my opinion...

i agree with you and am wary of them - however it was something that ghous raised a while back and was debated with SeekingLight, and i think there is definitely some relevance to them, so do use them as another tool.

why dont you wait for a stressfree trade. they will alwayz come and if u feel compelled(sorry for using this word) to trade, maybe u drop down to 15min TF and trade the proper 100pips range consolidation and see a clearer PA if u r comfortable with 15min TF.

Patience is required here except you are a momentum scalper like my friend.

Ill throw a trendline on once in a while but its got to be beacuse the market preety much walkrd on it ....lol like the market makes the line without me having to draw it hahah...trendlines are great tools as long as you take into consideration the angle of it the time it took to hit it....the timeframe its build on ... and most important that it actually draws a trend ....a trend is istablished afer a move up retracement and extension....

Not really scalping my friend lol....I just wait for price to do what I whant once a level gets hit and if does that I am in ...then once the pin bar is form I simply add to the price action produced to my intial entry creating the pin bar or some pattern

to many buying attempts have been tried at that support meaning lots of buyers have turned into sellers ...if your looking for longs jump up a timeframe and wait for a stronger signal to not get cought on a false buying move like it has given a couple of times earlier today...its better to miss a good trade then to be in a bad one....be patient on this pair in longs....and also trade lighter when longing since the market conditions are not in the long side
