Did someone say not to go long because we are in a downtrend ?
Yes. I'll keep saying that.

My view almost like this because for me i feel safer and comfortable flow with the market better in my view than try go long in strong support while it's dropping,We have seen many times falling break all the support in his way.

I know you are one of few good trader that why i post it this to remind you but at last it's your decision

I don't know if this is done. Any thoughts of taking a short and where. I originally charted it to go to around .9069, but my stomach couldn't handle staying in that long when those beautiful real dollars were just a click away .

Ok, so you're a scalper, and don't hold trades. Fine. But in middle of down trend, I hear LONG, it's kind of weird. Why don't you just talk about short entrees even if you are short-term? Well , whatever..

Where I have seen the real strong line is at .91277. It has bounced off of there like 6 times if you count both the red and green bounces, or three if you want to get technical. Realistically, a stretch goal might be my 1st line of resistance .90789. Thoughts anyone, Bueller???

looks like a possible reverse H&S on 15M charts. if its successful should take us up to .9105. very dangerous given these market conditions and volatility w-o real tight SL

We are also dangerously close to printing a Bearish Engulfing candle on the 15 min also not sure I like the look of it. .9042 is a pretty tough little line.

Oh, I'm not annoyed, just saying, I always heard things on this thread after the fact, so the comments don't seem to offer anything... I'm not trying AUD/USD right now, but have a buy order for eur/jpy at 127.65

I think that I will let this one play itself out for a little bit. Seems to be quit the battle right now. I don't have an indicator either way at this point. I don't see me doing a long until it goes back down and sets back up, and I am not going to take a short unit it at least gets down to around .9070. This does seems like a shake out for something big.

I posted this earlier today but since I was a "Junior Member" it got lost in the noise. FF updated me to "Member" today so I thought I would throw it out there again. This is a great simple overlay that you can throw in a window that works well. I thought I would give it to you guys since you seem to be micro-term traders and this overlay works best with time-frames of <1hr. The setup is as follows:

20 Period, (H+L+C)/3, Expo, MoAv
10 Period, (H+L+C)/3, Expo, MoAv
5 Period, (H+L+C)/3, Expo, MoAv
2 Period, (H+L+C)/3, Expo, MoAv
2 Period, (H+L+C)/3, Expo, MoAv, -1 Lag

The lag will keep you out of the noise. If you look at today on the image, following violet, confirmed the earlier spike and got me out and down for the rest of the ride.
Made 9% for my pool today just using this indicator
Just thought that I would share this

THe problem is that Option Chart seems to say that we might have capped out our top? You know the one thing about Option Traders they make money because most people don't know what they are doing so it could be off a little. The one up above was really close. We went up in a wick to .90535, but the candle really formed at .9048 about 10 above that option chart.

I am only showing an indication on the 15 minute, but the 60 isn't even close on an oversold or overbought or a cross of lines. I think that I will wait as well.
