Remember the weekly chart, I'm not saying it is a clue, just that it must be taken into consideration....

Here is a chart showing my EJ trade which started during the first dip of this session. I believed it would then move higher, but one can NEVER know for sure. As the professional traders manipulated it up and down with some major whipsaws down, I added. There are 9 components now in this trade, each being very small. The PA dumped about 200 pips so far during this trade, and even if all of my components were down 200 pips, I would not be overleveraged. As it stands, when the PA is again around 123.30 I will be without loss. At my original entry...
Here is how my trade worked out. I closed it early, not to risk gain in what might become a lackluster end of the Friday session.

Don't worry I follow your advice. It is only that I use different time frames for different trades and go with Their respective trends.

As an innovation to my method, also try to look at probable long term trends that world economic situations may form. Currently expecting a dent in downward trend before it continues.
good call you have to show me that sometime.. i know it happens on fridays.. i wish i had an indicator to show me why..

So you are thinking false breakout?
i am thinking that euro has been building a strong base for quite some time by now, and all this sucker rallies should mean something by now, since they have been too frequent, but i still don't see any sentiment shift so far

...Personally, I believe the Fib. Retracement tool is best suited to measuring range constructed by the candles/shadow themselves, rather than measuring the span between BBs, and that the Fib. Extension does a better job of the latter.
Which fib extension tool do you use? Is it the basic one included with MT4?

BTW, the bollinger squeeze delivered, as you undoubtedly noticed.

The Fib. Ext. tool is provided in MT4. Both it and the Fib. Retracement tool can be tweeked......add/change levels, etc. Since I like to leave the FR as-is, and I like to tweek for BB squeeze breakouts, I use the FE tool for that. Really, either one is ok. I believe in experimenting and then using the platlform in the most user friendly way for one's own purpose. Using the FR on BB pinches is a "quick and easy" way, and as you just saw, it works.

Just got back home. Almost perfect stall and retrace at the 2727 QP... that level posted here 16hrs ago...
http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...ostcount=69537

Be careful ya'll don't bump your heads on a TL today... that could hurt.

ADD: The original link i'm trying to post won't work, maybe the postcount is messed up, using the initial one instead to show the qp's properly, and this bull run is actually the move i was worried about, just coming from a lot lower than I anticipated.

I have just chickened out with some pips to count over the weekend.

It's fairly simple but not guaranteed. Economic part of that gives a bias. Mechanics I use is a strange blend of methods learned (or stole) from Jacko, Stewardr and Shakes, sprinkled with some basics from Trading in the Zone. I will try to put these thoughts on a piece of paper. ...... and indeed, Friday is a Dryday.

[RUSSIAN PM PUTIN] earlier said he is against the idea of restoring [CAPITAL CONTROLS], this follows calls from officials to support the Rouble. Putin points out that theoretically it is possible, but it would mean abandoning plans to turn the [ROUBLE] into a regional reserve currency and he thinks this would be "a shame" in terms of future economic development. In our view capital controls in Russia would be an obvious tool to regain control of the Rouble without having to engage in immediate heroic monetary and fiscal tightening, but even if the anti-control wing led by Putin continues to win the argument, events may well force the hand of the authorities. Russia 2009 looks more and more like Russia 1998: IP has collapsed and industry has borrowed heavily from abroad in foreign currency and on a short term basis while its banking system can no longer fund itself.

Whatever makes sense, do the opposite on fridays.
How about I do the opposite of that.
