I went to your blog. YOu mentioned that you trade naked. Do you really don't use anything? Even fibo? Or candlestick pattern?

Oh. And nice trade btw.
I just don't use forex indicator. Fibo yes

It is a good possibility, I do think it should start coming down right now for a little bit. Waiting for confirmation. I do believe that this is long term down trend so may see it.

ZumZum,

We did get that bounce down that I was talking about but it wasn't much. It may still but be careful. G/U pair likes turning around on the 38.2 fib lines so it could go up a bit more before it comes down, but even then may not bet back to the bottom of where it was. I have closed all my trades waiting for confirmation for the next move.

I think it might have a chance of reversal at the purple trendline in my screenshot here(sorry its messy lol)... it just nearly hit and reversed, and it is based off todays earlier high, so it could be significant.

Don't think I am gonna place a trade on it though, just think it might end up being a bunch of reversal bounces possibly.

But my mind may just be seeing things which don't exist as well

Hello buddy,

I do say you can laugh with no reason. It was just weird that you quoted my long trade at the bottm with a big red hour candle. I mean with my relatively small number of posts I made in this forum it appeared that you just figured I was full of crap. But now that we are 100 pips higher than that point you are laughing for no reason.

Bottom line:

The fibs are no laughing matter. They will save your ass, make your ass and protect your ass. As soon as you betray them, they will take your ass.

Although news events does not effect the overall scheme of things, I do think since we are hanging out at the 161.8 on the 15M chart the news event will either do absolutly nothing or the price may regress and go back down for a little bit. Time will tell.

Couple scenarios in my head on GU:

1. If the price reaches the upper blue TL : sell with ~20 pips SL and reverse.
2. If it doesn't reach the blue line: sell when the red TL is broken. Again ~20 pips SL and reverse.

Most optimistic scenario: both shorts.

Risk per trade no more than 1%.

TP ~ 1.6046 (DIV).
The 2nd scenario worked out nicely. As the market opened with a gap towards my TP, waited till the price filled it back and jumped in with my short at 1.6149. SL 20 pips. Moved SL at the break even before going to bed and was wiped out as my TP hasn't been hit by 10 pips and the price went up.

Okay I really Give reply very few but 20pips is very Low SL in My Opinion For GU move more then 60 pips in a Minute and in tick 12pips .. so if you said 20pips SL you were be very Lucky guy to find right entry Every time , as there is So Fake OUT, And Some time on Double or Triple Top or Bottom .. Market Pair's Give 60 or 70 pips normal Move in Those Trend Analysis, but if you have en eyes on 1 minute an conclusion on tick size so may be that is going to be Good Entry for your 20pips SL, But I like the 20 pips SL to 106 pips TARGET.. indeed this...
Thanks for your opinion. As you can see the tight SL did its job well.
