hi all,
Just got back to my computer and nothing much seems to be happening. Is the stock market closed as well in the US or is it just a bank holiday?
My short order of 9260 got filled, but I am not sure if its going to be anygood tonight with such low volume. Sinner, can you pl tell us the percentage of short/longs, and if you have access to total volumes?

Volume has been pretty light for a range of this size, but convincing in every other aspect.

I keep telling you guys: just watch the London open price. If we are above, buy only. If below, sell only.

Seems to be stuck in a tight range. A break out without any news or major event is unlikely in either direction. Could be a boring night. I have entered short on AUD, but might exit and call it a night shortly. Any one staying through the session?

Doesn't look too promising on the H1 chart with a very "thin" resistence @ 0.9263-0.9270

and on the H4 chart you can see it bouncing off the cloud.

Could reach 0.93 by tonight. So i think its better to short then, rather then trying to "catch" it on the uptrend

Times To Trade
Look for Entry points between 24:00 GMT through to 14:00 GMT on new Signals. Outside of those times the market historically offers very little in the way of opportunity to catch momentum. Full momentum normally does not hit before the European markets open around 06:00 GMT. Market sentiment runs in waves, 24:00 GMT (Japan), 06:00 GMT (Germany), and 11:00 GMT (Chicago), and outside of those times a forex trader is unlikely to see too much sustainable movement.
Nice post GeppyG. Wish I had discovered information like this when I first started trading. Had to learn the hard way.

Tradoholic - FXCM has 61% of traders short on AUD. 55% short on NZD. 79% short on CAD. 67% short on JPY. 69% short on GBP. The only currency bucking the trend is the EUR where there are 57% of traders long on EUR.

For those of you who are new to these retail trader sentiment readings, it is a contrarian indicator given that 95% of retail traders lose (apparently). You basically want to be opposite of what the reading is if your charts agree.

For example, as there are 61% of traders short on AUD the chances of it going up are good but it’s already done approx. 100 pips from the low today and the daily ATR (average true range) for the last 30 days is 111 pips so I personally wouldn’t be looking to go long (at this point) as it has probably already done the bulk of the move for the day. Of course it is possible for PA to overshoot it's daily ATR.

Hi Patience,

do you have an indicator to show the ATR or is this something that you plot/write down manually?

thank you.

Points to be considered at this momment in time.
1.Bullish Ascending Triangle on 4HR Still Holding
2.Bullish 4 Hour pin Formed to push us back into the Triangle
3.Support is Holding at 0.9175
4.Buyers waisted no time and Volume was very good the move.

I am long of 0.9175 as this was extreme value....Just as discussed with puks with a stop at 0.9155 My target is 50 pips as a minimum per trade
After this i move my stop to break even..


Good Luck all
Hi Geppyg, thanx for great charts and good analysis. I had posted the same ascending triangle formation at my new thread :

Hi Patience,

If you have MT4 there is an indicator called "average true range" that you can input onto your chart.

I also forgot to say that the sentiment index can't anticipate unexpected announcements/news releases etc that happen during the day. It only shows how traders are placed so just because traders are short on the AUD meaning the chances are good for going up, if Bernanke or Geithner were to blurt out that interest rates might go up sooner than expected then you know what's going to happen.

I've got Daily Pivot R1 at 0.9289. Nice hit to S1 early on today then rammed through weekly pivot, rammed through daily, re-tested and then carried on up. Stalling at the moment though but that's probably because it's nearly done it's average daily range.
