Thanks for the chart but I'm more interested to know why this 580 area was targeted rather than the top of the channel which I thought it could have run to. Any idea?

Same price I got in long at. Good job bro! Love the 15m 35/50 cross and reverse trade. Good job on your shorts as well.

Did you notice the horizontal resistance line I had on the chart for you?

Have a look at where I've drawn circles on my h4. You can see the sellers waiting there.

yes I had my own drawn, and as far as I can see there were a couple other horizontal possibilities there, so it doesn't answer the question.

Exactly bro! Thank you for your chart. I don't have the channel on mine, but I've been lazy this week with my trendlines and channels. Too busy of a weekend.

thanks. It makes sense, I know you can't be pinpoint exact with these numbers -- give or take 10-30pips maybe. I was just curious why there rather than a bit higher to the top of the drawn channel. I suppose the round number of 600 might have played a part as well.

Don't feel bad I been trying to go short e/j all afternoon the Usd/Jpy seems to be in control. Or the YEN I should say. I think it will drift on down towards asian session. might just leave it be.

I agree usdjpy seems to in control today. I think there overall more demand for dollars than euro's which has been dragging ej and cable all over the place

Yes I see that channel... tomorrow the REAL news will come out and they will get a rude awakening.. Unemployment rolls are down because so many people's benefits have expired. And the reason these companies are showing profits are because they have cut overhead (Jobs)..

Everyone one wants to believe though. The Kings clothes look nice.

I see EJ a little bit differently and quite orderly since yesterday. I am looking at the 1hr chart and we have a nice 100+ pip move up from 132 area then a 50 pip or so consolidation with the 132.90-133.00 as support and then a similar move up to the 134 area with another 50 pip consolidation and this morning up to the 135 area and some consolidation.

The 6000 mark is a pshycological mark because of the round number factor alone. Your right, I cannot be pinpoint, but usually within 20 pips. When I took the short, my SL was over 6020.

I agree also Ken, when I see headlines like this: Dow soars past 9,000 as Investors Cheer...

So going along with your thoughts a move up to 136.00 is in order..

If it doesn't poke it's nose below 135.00 on the next try I am closing the that position.
