sounds a dangerous strategy going against the trend. if it works for you then fair enough. I hope it does drop as I am underwater on a short... :-(

Sherm , why didnīt you pick the 38.2Fib at 1.3261 and there looks to me more supply around the 1.3270 plus area.

I opened NZDUSD in the morning. Wanted to open at 0.5550 but missed that level, so opened at 0.5560, stop was at 0.5520, now it's at +60pips, will see how it goes, will probably take half off now and let rest run to target.

Although I notice head and shoulders pattern I don't really take these into account S&R is S&R and USD didn't fell so strong to continue gaining. Do you guys really take into account other technical formations exept S8R, FIB and diag. trendlines?

Fibs are just an area to me I dont care about the exact number. Its like this a car is worth 10000 and I offer it to you for 6180 ....and then I say you know what I offer it to you for 6250 . Its stil buissness since your getting at a bargain ...you have to look at the market from that perspective and not from the point that it hit the fibb to the pip . Professionel investors dont waste their time on that. Buy low sell high and ask yourself if its cheap to the market .

Technically speaking, I base my trades primarily on S&R. I also look at fibonacci and fibonacci patterns. It is also a very good idea to understand basic fundementals, and current market sentiment.

Beyond these I see no evidence that other tools play a role in determining price action in any tradable way. I am interested to see what other traders have to say on this point.

If you are following the no brainers style, then every single trade will be against price flow. You pick a level, wait for price to arrive. If you learn to pick the correct level, price should reverse either right at entry or pretty soon afterward. With the correct stop you should have more winners than losers. You don't need to be trading every day either. One or two winners per week, if they're available, should do nice things to your account

I see all you guys took a short in the eurusd. I am still in my long and up 40 pips. have plenty of pips up my sleeve to let it run a while. still looking at target 1.3327. might pull out early if not happy, but so far am satisfied with how it is going.
