Morning, fellows

Is anybody considering short from 6650 area?

It would be nice 50% retracement, and 35/50 cross/reverse.

Or, I am just dreaming?

Good morning everyone! I see we've dropped our pants since making a new high. As well, I see a pin/hammer with matching bottoms on the 15m which caused me to enter a long position at 6531 with a tight SL. Might not be a good position, but let's see.

catching falling knives springs to mind...
the 4hr looks strong bearish
the gbpjpy is still holding up so maybe it will prop up the g/u. I have been stupidly fighting this drop all morning with stopped out longs..
shows I am still not ready to trade my real account.Now looking for a j.o.b. aaaargh

I just grabbed a long seat at 6528. I'm already regretting it. I should never have done it with major news about to hit.

Stupidity strikes again!

F the news bro! It's just noise. Keep your risk under control and we'll be fine. The matching bottoms needs to stay in place or we're both on the wrong bus. This could give us a h1 pin/hammer though, so the R:R is right.

Hi Guys, Just note that today is the settlement day for $102 B of US Treasuries notes and it looks like the strength in USD index and this strong move on $yen may be as a result of that money moving into the US account. All out of sync with what we would expect from equities correlation so longs may find pressurised sellers again.


I will be looking to take a long on the H1 turn as there is some expectation of good data which may help for a while but I will bank some quickly as it looks like we may meet a 2nd strong wave. Just my simple view
Ride the Bulls bearback!

We might be okay on this one...but, this is the last day of the month so it could turn to shit pretty quickly. Tight sl's are the order of the day.

How are you bro! New avatar I see. Cool!

In deed, the long boat is not an easy boat at the moment, but a short from here I cannot see either. So, R:R for me was the long position of course book profit and cover as to not get an ass whipping.

Hi mate, good to have the master back. I agree the Long is the only ride, but this little slapper has been knocking my bull balls into a pulp today. Watching closely but there is a Timeline a little lower interesecting the 16495 and a 50 H4 fib. A full H1 close into that and My bull balls are swelling.
