What is the exact time of the inauguration?
I may have to rethink my target. Instead of 2430, maybe 2405, we're only 200 pips away from fully retracing the last 3 bull bars on the weekly.

P/A seems it can't break 1.2900. Looks to be in a retracement at the moment.

good spot to get short if your not in right here. Only got 100 pips sence 10:00pm est so it is moving slow but I think it will pick up for the last 1-150 or so.

This sure behaves like one. Also a descending wedge on M5. Great expectations for Obama and maybe time for reversal. JMHO

If P/A can't break 1.2900, it will probably bounce back to whole number 1.3000. Market is in a serious range at the moment. I don't see much movement until noon (EST).

I read on Oanda news of an option strike at 1.2900 at the New York cut around 9 am EST. It could keep the euro above 1.29 until that time then it will get a direction.

The answer is not that simple. You have to watch after support/resistance levels, reversal patterns as double bottom/top, reversal candlestick patterns, divergence for indicators. I advise you to read babypips.com first.

Hi all.

Can anybody confirm that the markets are virtually impossible to day trade today or is it just me?

I've made nearly a dozen trades today and not made one pip. This has never happened to me before, but I've never traded on inauguration day before. . . I didn't think it would make a difference until the inauguration was actually under way?

I'm sure my broker loves me today. You're not getting any more of my money today you b*stards!

my question how i can know that if it will continue down or it wil go up to touch pivot again
First answer is you can't know that...

Second answer is found partly in a post from last evening at 5pm when i posted these pivots...

Quoting ak4x
... Price breaking below M2 at session start will give me a strong bear bias for pre and early asia...

This is a great session to mind those Quarter Pivots, especially in early session
That bias continued on thru the entire asian session as it turned out and the clue was in the way it penetrated the pivots w/o any significant bounces that could sustain a move up... simply tp's or sl's getting hit but w/o any buyers stepping in.

I don't see any reason to change that outlook, altho momentum is decreasing possibly due to the days events coming up, and my shorts remain open with profit locked in.

The quarter pivots worked as they should also as price touched them but never did turn with any strength and then went on to break them as well on the way to the next main pivot... which I expect to continue in some fashion.

As has been said several times now by some very qualified traders,, If you're not already in a trade in profit, and you're not comfortable scalping this market, it's a very good time to sit out and watch.

I don't know Pip. I started on the Sydney market for a short and letting it run. I never traded an inauguration day either but it has been ranging for the last 6 hours.

I had the same problem yesterday pip smoker. Decoded to go to the 4 hr charts instead of scalping. Caught shorts on cable, gbp/jpy, euro, and long swissy. So I think it worked out! LOL

Here's the thing... you've not made a single pip. When you go on demo, will you keep doing the same things you were doing live so that instead of losing real money, you lose funny money? If so, then where's the benefit?

I'd suggest either do something different or take the day off and clear the noggin. These days for me anyway, it's not even a question, I take the day off when I'm having one of those... Demo losses only reinforce whatever was wrong in the first place... which is sometimes as simple as you're not in a market that you can realistically trade in for whatever reason(s)...

You know it. I'm still in all 4 positions, just trailing them with my stop. When cable outpaces gbp/jpy all day it's almost historic.
