anyone push the sell on the euro - that was the one, especially with the shampoo on the 1/4 hour chart

something to note dollar index has reversed initial move 5 of the last payroll releases..... hence the sell off

Seems to be a lot of that kind of PA after news releases where it shoots off in one direction then reverses back in line with the previous action during the day ..

Maybe worthy, I share my latest strategy to trade GU. Everyday I plot the DP level, used to plan the S/R. And is working well.

See the chart below. Look how well it works to forecast the trend in a significant amount ! Today I wait for it moves up to 1.6176 ( DP day 2) - 1.6209 ( DP day 6) to short, but I may reconsider depend on what PA I'll see ! Let see !
It works perfectly ! My Tp 1.5940 !
I only trade XAU/USD. Based on USD news & Fib SR & BB20

That's my next TP level. Good job bro!
been a good week, finally coming together!!

thanks trailing my stop now @150 + on balance of my position, will cover by next of day whatever happen,

weekly close around here would be bearish for next week, isee 1.5500 area quite realistic target for next week should this correction continue...

no doubt you caught good share of that move bro

Good morning to ALL,
EO had asked me about my son (the surgery guy) so I will share with all of you that it has been a wonderful success and has already lost about 40 lbs. of weight in such a short time (60-70 more to go)... I have been very busy out of forex but still try to keep up with this wonderful thread.
Kids are out of school and I am driving to Florida as I write this to vacation there and in the country of Panama...will be back to take my share of GREEN pips in July.

QUESTION: I am considering opening an account with Dukascopy...anyone have any experience with them? I am trying a demo now because I am used to the MT4 platform and they have their own. Please....any advise????

BEST WISHES TO ALL OF YOU and enjoy your summer !!!

I got pretty lucky bro! I went short at 6172 with SL at 6250 and she came within 5 pips of closing me out. I've booked 125 on the move and I have 2 soldiers going towards 5930 and watch this 5890 .

I'm glad things are coming together for you bro! Keep up the hard work.

OUTSTANDING news! Thank you for the update! Enjoy your vacation, the pips will be here waiting for you when you get back. I don't know anything about Dukascopy, just do your homework on them before unloading a large deposit into an account.
