I would also like to note that today I got the urge to shave my beard which has been growing since May nonetheless. I think this could be a major indication. Usually major changes happen when I shave a long beard, I kid you not.
We will get also the direction of the change if you kindly share whether you shaved top or the bottom?

Hello people!

Just sharing my latest chart.

And predictably, I'm still long.

Self explanatory I believe. Yes, you see two slow stoch indicators. Because they're like lawyers. What I mean is that they may lie to you about the same thing, just at different times.

Pisar is also there and none of the indicators are showing signs of reversal. Same for the weekly.

So here I am on this journey from 1.4338. Wish me luck.
I think you would run out of luck between 1.4900 and 1.5000, not before.

But I have to say that 4800 is BIG 10 year resist, there will something wicked to get through this level, if it does. might want to look to take some profits at that point, I will be looking for some safe long term entries heading south at around this point. If she busts up into old channel I want to see it clear before I go bull again.
Yes, 4800 is a big 10 years resistance. But that was then and this is now.

Tons of funnymentals supporting it and technical too. This is only the second month of a trend if you look as the Pisar indicator. The one that ended in July lasted 12 months, the one before that 27 months, and the one before that was 12 months. The one before that...you get the picture.

I'll reverse and take profits if I see a reversal. But right now, I don't see a reversal so long it is.

If you see the thread next door, Peter is talking about 4835. I'm the worst when it comes to saying "it'll go to .xxx and then reverse".

I don't mean to put you on the spot but I'd love to see a chart

We have to take the time of year into account as well. You know the Sep-Dec period is the most volatile and market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent blah, blah, blah. The big boys want to make some money for Christmas. What is the easiest way to push it? Spike up then ram down? Or just keep on going up?

I wrote this post on 16 August trying to warn the ladies about this time of year since I've been caught out in previous years. And I still got sucked in on AUD on NFP but the daily candle on USDX at the end of that day...
yes we do.. i dont admit it but i do trade a few boring trades too..eur/chf has been a pretty reliable trender and a few others..but its like watching paint peel. at times

Ya, I have not been through much history with this pair, but I am using the same stop losses so I don't think my drawdowns will differ much.

Just as a survey;

how many pairs do people here trade?

Do you find that you need to employ multiple strategies for them or do you have one and it works across the boards?
I only trade the EUR/USD, but I'm trading a 1 min chart. I tried trading GU, UC, and AU, but on a minute minute chart there is a too much going on and I was missing good signals on EU, which I'm more familiar with the movement and consider my bread and butter.

Depending on your timeframe, you shouldn't have a problem trading any number of currencies. There's threads about 4hr systems and they are trading 20+ currencies.

The only advice I could give is, if you're trading a short timeframe, don't "correlate" one currency with the movement on another. Example: I never have the charts up for GU, UC, or AU, but I watch the ticker to determine if the dollar ITSELF is weakening or strenghtening. This morning I noticed GU dropped about 25 pips and EU didn't move. I put a trade on EU to drop and next thing you know, it takes off UP. Had to take a loss because I wasn't following my system.

Long story short, on a shorter timeframe, don't think one pair dropping is a guarantee another correlated pair will drop...

good luck...

If this kind of info was good for something it would be secret not public domain as it is....

And fighting the trend is all right if you are fighting for a reason (meaning strategy), as soon as I have a signal I'm in a mortal combat against "the trend"

True, very true.. but do you have it in you? fighting the trend i mean...

9 days consecutive trending now....

I normally have 5 systems, 5 pairs... "not correlated" as in Very different TP/SL etc.

In my head the price can only do two things... trend and range...

My account is pretty big so by trading with 0,5% loss risk on each system is almost where I get a infarct...

But hey, who is just trading for the money??
