Anyone watching the EURAUD fall into the bottomlesss pit?

--NM
hm, there is still a support level on the monthly chart at around 1.5, then unchartered area.
Also it is right now at the channel bottom as shown in my chart. Still a waiting game. What do you guys think?

I don't like to lose, and I was thinking the whole day today of what the hell went wrong with the usd/jpy and went through all my rules again for determining most conservative entry possible.
Actually one of the rules I kind of ignored and for some reason didn't pay attention to in a while:
I want a pattern to develop BELOW the support level and then take the bpc.
This time we had price ABOVE support level and shooting through support for a bpc.
Well, and as mentioned the pullback didn't fully retrace back to breakout levels (missed it by 10 pips) and it was second half of jpy session, and price action was crap.
It's amazing how greed and maybe boredom can and will cloud your view sometimes and make you throw away all the rules you got. A never ending learning process.

Yes it was not an A+ setup and why we took the trade I am not sure, we both mentioned how bad it looked and we still took it. But I guess that is part of trading and the part of the human aspect of it. I guess chalk it up to experience now, and not let that happen again is all we can do. Its not the maount of pips that were lost because it was a small loss but the fact we knew better than to take it in th first place...LOL I guess it shows we are only human too...

Nicely done.

I just have to say that. Holding on to it is a good call.
Thanks EntropyLad,

It is a pretty slow moving pair and it takes awhile to get anywhere with it.

I see that level at 1.5 I was not zoomed out far enough to see 1999 and I think that is where it showed up it has been in place for a while.

As of right now I am not seeing much out here that I want to get into at the moment, I think I am going to sit on the sidelines and see if anything can get developed enough to be considered low risk, right now too many of these pairs are on the fence imo.

I was stopped out at .8700 to the pip for a -56pip loss, the British CPI numbers were definatly not in my favor, they were extremely bullish the pound. Anyway, on to the next one.

Hi All,

this morning I entered eur/jpy on 5min TF @ 7:00, still having to untrain myself from my previous sins, I exit with 20pips profit on the retrace instead of staying and appreciating the dymanic of the Red and Green MA's...

Trust the process - even if it is that of retraining...

HI Paulette,

Nice job on the 20 pips..

Sounds like we were looking at the same pair, I took a short entry on that pair last night, The 1 hour time frame was my setup chart and as of this moment I am stting on 81 pips, So now its a free trade I closed out half my position and now hopefully the trend will continue and I wil just follow it along with my stop.

Looks like the second half of the trade may get stopped out I went to coffee came back and it was up 50 pips I am still in it but it may stop the second half out for 17 pips but I am going to let it go and see what happens.

The second half just got taken out, so that trade is done, +17 on the second half. I guess that support area means business.

Gi Guys,
I wanted to post a couple of charts on the E/U pair, The weekly chart shows where I think the nex possible target could be if this down trending scenario plays out. The hourlly chart shows where we are now on the hourly trend, even though we are not trending on the 4 hour or or higher TF, it really looks more like a massive impulse wave to the bottom, so there is a chance of a big snap back imo, but the hourly certainly looks tradable.

So any thoughts on this hypothisis?

Hi,
Attached are some currency pairs to watch for the asian session. Those are probably a little risky, since the weekly is ranging on those pairs, but nonetheless worth a shot. I think they are all kind of viable for an Asian open break-out or swing trade on h1 to h4.

Furthermore, two pairs to watch for london session.
EUR/USD broke out of daily range to the downside. EUR/GBP did as well. However, EUR/GBP sitting at the lower part of the channel on the h1, so would wait till it retraces back a bit.

haha, sorry, didn't see you posted eur/usd as well. I don't know, I see 1.37 as a much stronger support level on the weekly. 1.4 has been messed with quite a bit, just my opinion. For me 1.42 was the last big support level (on the daily) we went through now targeting 1.37.

What do you think?

but of course 1.4 is a very very round number, just hasn't been respected a lot recently in my opinion. 1.4 is definitely a danger zone.

I agree the 1.400 is a key area here is a daily line chart on the close, the 1.400 has held several time may do so again but I think a break below that level needs to be watched the line chart shows how many times this has been respected a little cleaner than the candle charts show (Blackeagel posted a line chart and I like the way the S/R levels stand out so I posted this one).

Thanks. Thanks. For caring to share all this with us. I appreciate it. Definitely going on my watch list. Besides, it gives me a window into how other intelligent traders trade and view trading setups.
