Because we're still in a range on both pairs????

could you elaborate?
Here's the best elaboration for you that I can provide. All pairs range, whether that range is 1000 pips or only 10 pips. It's just a big range to me. No matter what time frame I look at, it's all just a range. You see, I have no conviction on direction at any point in time.

Excellent... that is perhaps the most enlightening statement I may have heard in forex trading.

Everybody bashes Infinity and myself for our willingness to go against the population, but in reality, the only direction that is true is East.

She's coming to get you I believe. Good job on your positive pippage! Did you book anymore on our massive spike? I almost had 2 TP hit on my long position, one at 135.50 was hit, the other at 136 was just missed.

I am sure you are not surprised at the bashing.

Envy can lead to all sorts of strange opinions, rarely based on truth or fact and often closes off the mind to possibilities

Nice entry you had there! I'm sure you booked some nice pippage on the move like myself. I was long from 6362 on GU. I've jumped short at 6396 and booked 20 and covered now.

People can bash all they like, just no here in my thread! Too many people get a conviction that price is going to only this direction without looking both ways. Too many people talk about, you have to trade with the trend, the trend is your friend, yadda yadda yadda. Now, don't get me wrong, when she moves to a trending state, like after the morning breakout, then yes, you need to go with the flow, but be ready for her to turn around and move back up again. She's living and breathing and she exhales and inhales as such.

I have been trading from a higher tf 1hr and up and in reviewing my trades I saw a glaring fault in having a bias. I would place a trade it would go to where my tp was set leave pa to go the other direction yet I wouldnt make the trade. Combination of being happy with what I got and not wanting to trade against my bias.

This is one of the main reasons I am here, you guys dont give a damn which way north or south just ride the wave. I have only traded forex for 1 year and have concluded going with the flow is the best way to capture pips, having no bias and the ability and confidence to turn on a dime by watching pa is the fastest way to grow an account.

Got out of e/j @135.69

She could very well go back up! My h1 is bearish atm, so I'm not ready to pull a long out of my hat just yet. The working m15 is acting like she's going to give us a hammer, but she still has 5m to complete it's formation.

Not experienced enough to say

My broker FXCM quoted 1.627 target since this morning and I generally use their estimates as lines in the sand

It does seem that the 636xx area is a strong demand however.
