I agree on the retrace, we should see it the first of the week and then continue southbound.
If my previous theory is correct, in about 40-60 mins it will retrace north, closing somewhere between 30-80 pips.

This big drop has been on te cards for a while, i know a few of us have lost a few pips with some false signals. Lets hope we can make them back on the way down.

Excellent job bro! I only got two trades today... long from 4765 to 4850 and short from 4845 to 4775... I am done for the day but it is all looking bearish now with the bottom of the h4 channel in sight..
Nicely done, i wish i was a pip behind you. I wonder if that H4 will turn into a big shampoo over the next week.

Nice trades bro! I agree with the bottom of the h4 channel in sight and maybe lower.

Anyone eyeing a travel-size shampoo on the 15m...if it plays out, we should be starting up towards right shoulder to about 4810-4820....then down again..

It's been good bro! Look at EU, almost to my 1.29 area. Freakin thing closed me out at +100, went over my SL like 2 pips and then dropped her pants.

Good eye rt4x! I agree, I wouldn't sell here, but I would buy if I was not in a position targeting the 4800 -4810 area for another possible push south. I would not marry the long position.

If I remember correctly, it happend to you on GU this week when you were long, she got you by a couple pips then charged back north. I know you know my pain bro! I should have accepted the position as a weekly trade and not covered so tight but covered green none the less. I can't bitch bro! Green pips is green pips!

That's why I didn't take it in my other account as well. My short soldiers are fine, covered green, I don't anticipate seeing 4745 today, but it's possible and I don't want to get caught.

Thanks! We already got a big shampoo on h4 that has begun to play out... I think it still has at least another 100+ pips drop to go .... probably around 4650 ish.. below that 4580 is still strong support...
