I'm short. We're again below 1.4900 and daily pivot, 15m up-trend is also broken. We'll see.

Worth remembering at this juncture that we are approaching the end of year closing out of books, when insitutional traders log profit....
I'm countertrend the GU now, so let's see if some correlations fail here or if GU just free falls like you say it could.

You cannot trade any one pair in this market in isolation from watching it's driver pairs (the crosses and S&P.)

.
With all due respect Jade, I can tell exactly what is happening with the crosses and equities (risk) by watching one pair. The moves occur simultaneously or close to it. There is no edge to trade watching the correlation play out. I have only one order ticket and one instrument charted. I consider this to be one of the most significant decisions I took in my trading journey and was precisely what turned my trading around. Each to her/his own but my advice to anyone, based on my own experience, is to focus all your attention on one instrument. It is not only possible to trade using just one pair but you might even find you can trade very well this way.

Good Morning, I was up to late last night. I think we are heading down today in a downward channel. So until I wake up I put in a wish order to Short at 1.493 with targets at 1.488 & 1.484.

This pair remains within a bearish channel and is challenging its resistance.

1.4985 SL
1.488 TP, take half off
1.484 TP, take the rest off

GU broken a support. That correlation holding so far. EU taken its time. If they pull the orders below the market now I am screwed on GU and smiling on EU.

I second that! I've tried multiple times in the past to get the edge by using currency correlation, trading eur/usd while watching usd/chf while glancing at gbp/usd while checking oil and gold - it didn't do any good. One explenation is: because I am clinically retarded. Another one: frankly I haven't found out it yet. But all I know it doesn't work for me.

I've noticed that when I focus on only trading eur/usd my profits are larger than when I trade 8 pairs. After a while I have that strange feeling like I'm in some way synchronized with price action (first stage of schizophrenia ?), and many times I just 'know' where it is going (definitely first stage of schizophrenia).

Have moved my stop down to 1.665. I am not sure if GU will take out yesterdays low of 1.6604...
Am now lowering my stop to 1.6610....I do not think we see below 1.6520 in this run. So adding a T/P to this at 1.6525.

As you gain precision and discipline in trading one pair alone, this skill will naturally extend to other pairs.

I presently have 17 live positions open. EU, GU, AU, NZD (all short) EG, and Eur/Aud (longs). All in very healthy profit. The benefit of trading multiple pairs is that they all move at different paces. When risk aversion kicks in, the Euro tends to be the strongest (i.e. least likely to move with force), while AU tops the dumping list, closely followed (and sometimes exceeded by) GU, then NZD. You can make 50 pips on EU but 150 on GU or 100 on AU for the same PA. This is why diversifying your basket pays huge dividends. But yes, you do need to be able to juggle multiple factors accurately. This is a skill that comes with time and experience.

waiting for 1.6540 to buy this again. However, it's weaker than EU, so it could go lower.

with your experience, if you only had to trade four pairs, which four would you trade and why?
