re-entered short again at 6640, sl 6657, still waiting for that retrace now waiting for move to 6605. Can't figure out what this unwillingness to retrace means! stochs and tl supports move lower, if 6650 holds till asian session i'm quite sure it will fall lower if not it's crazy business and i jump in the morning fully on long side for 1.7

Lots of time to worry about the NFP. Direction on the week as far as I am concerned still hasn't been set. If we cross the 24SMA and hold it today, I will be more leaning on the bull side of things. A fall back from the 24SMA I will be on the bear side of things.

Because I only play with chart support, I really don't care if we go up or down, it's just the sideways stuff that pi$$e$ me off...

Plus, last NFP was a sell off for only a moment and continuation of the uptrend. We could very well be looking at the same thing.

But really, why speculate?...
Easy to enter, follow and stay in a trade off of one single chart
(5m here) when it so vividly explodes off of an ema compression.
Now is not the time to enter in either direction... you never know
when the separation will end and the ema bubble will collapse.

Just keeping it simple.

This close to the end of NY session, taking a position is not really in anybodies favor, but playing against the trend of the day might get ya a couple of bux....I am not saying buy or sell, just saying that the day has been playing well off of the trend lines is all...

I feel your pain brother. Used to play this way all the time.

Don't feel alone, I don't think anybody here could claim to not have played against the trend for a loss.

Keep studying your charts, see where you went wrong, and make sure ya do your best to not do it again.

An eye on a few different time frames might come in handy, but, thats just how I rolls em.

In all honesty, I grab my plays off of the 1m as well, but watch the 5m, 15m and toggle the last between 30m, 1h, 4h. Seeing all sides is very helpfull.

A single perspective can be suicide, especially if you are not sure of the trend.

It's funny, having had the same term repeated to me when came to building, seems to really come into play in trading...with a few substitutions....

I have cut this board 7 times, it is still to short!

I have sold this pair 7 times today, and it is still to long!

LOL....

First...I will say again, the Americans do not control top or bottom of this game, they merely try to follow direction and not interrupt things too great.

So,

Second....If we were to see a fall back @ NY close today, London session would still spike back up the chart before re-trending.

Hey, if you wanna sell, be my guest..probably a great scalp op to present in the not to distant future, targeting 1.6580ish.

now this could b a good start of a downhttp://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon13.gif

As New York comes into close at HOD...an expected liquidation of long positions is expected. But seriously...this as the beginning of a trend?

I play a little different, scalp both ways, but still wait for confirmation on any trades.

Wish you all the best.

Still sticking to my guns on the 1.6580ish area on a pull back.

I have actually posted the logic, charts, indicator and template HERE on the speculative plays. Check it out.

for me it's time to sleep now and really hope that my 2 pending positions will reach target instead of SL (which is minimal profit)

good night

I prefer a single perspective, there is less confusion its more absolute and it's no more right / wrong than a multi faceted approach infact its likely right more often, but it's only a 50/50 game after all!!

That and I'm lazy!!
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!
