You worded that correctly "Hope". Not saying it can't happen but the probabilities are not on your side this time.
your right for sure...I just hate this indecisiveness I'm putting myself through right now

I have 2 longs one from 1.3642 and one from 1.3631 I got back to the 1.3631 and thought momentum would get me to the BE with the other and now I'm losing it a bit wondering if I should hold on till London to see if I go back..I know some of you will say if you have to ask then get out...It's just I've had a few of my trade comeback if I just would have stayed and waited and I'm kind of tired of that happening, especially the way this pair loves to go up and down.. Any insight from you guys would be much appreciated and may be settle some of the...

Set your sell @ the price between your two positions. Like .3636 or whatever. If I was you I would wait you'll probably get your price. 30 or so pips is not much.

Thanks Ancient I like that view..I was also thinking that 30 to 40 pips was in the range of recuperation... I admit though I'm hungry for any positive outlook to this situation....don't get me wrong I'm very thankful for you insight..

IMO...we are still in a downtrend. For that reason I do not counter trend trade. As I've said before here, some other people can do it, and do it well.....for me though, I just won't do it because I was once in the situation you now are in, and it went from bad to worse...because I was going against the trend. I ended up cutting my (considerable) losses and never made that mistake again. For sure I miss some great counter trend trades, but I don't care.....I will only trade with the trend....period!

Having said that, you may or may not get 'out of jail' with your trades, I hope you do.

[i]"...Germany did this but failed and bankrupted their country after World War I. But the Germans wanted to bankrupt their currency. They didn't want to pay off their war debts and the smart money wanted to turn the middle class against the occupation government. So they simply printed up paper until it filled wheelbarrows. They did not use due diligence and have proper controls. They didn't care. What they did was not a accident. It was a planned bankruptcy. You can be sure that the big boys in German currency had all their cash in something...

I don't know where you got this quote from but this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

First of all the Treat of Versailles after the First World War did not allow repayment of war debts in German currency. It had to be paid in gold or foreign currency.

Secondly, Germany was not occupied after the First World War. Their soldiers were in other countries when they surrendered. The only time foreign soldiers entered Germany was five years later when some French and Belgian troops entered the German industrial region for a brief time because the Germans said that they were not going to pay off their war debts any longer. This then led to a general strike that lasted eight months and devastated the economy.

While it was true that one point their money became so inflated that it was almost worthless, the country never became bankrupt. In fact, America lent Germany large amounts of money to Germany in the 1920's so they could rebuild their economy and the German economy boomed until the Great Depression hit and the American money stopped coming.

As far as always having enough money for a war, the point is there isn't. It just increases the deficit, minus the extra jobs it creates of course. By the way, in 2010, the American defence budget is only 4.7 % of GDP. It doesn't make as much difference to the economy as most people think.

bounce may be shallow as snowball picks up speed.
if you do 50% between lines #s such as 3597 mean something.. they are just as important as a actual line. but not drawn to avoid clutter. blowing through targets shows bear power
this is a great bear level

Those dojis don't mean anything to me, because they didn't naturally occur. They occurred due to massive interference in the market. But even so, those dojis were still tradable from their high's to their lows....or at least some part of their 300+ pip life........

Hello everyone. This thing has throw me off a few times over the last week. I also made the mistake of removing my trendline template from my chart because I thought price was going to be eradic and not obey them. As it turns out it they would have helped me. In any case not too much harm done. If I can get in synch with this thing again, there are alot of pips to be made. Let's do this, good luck.

Greece Official Denies Seeking IMF Aid

Dow Jones Newswires

ATHENS -- The Greek Finance Ministry Thursday denied reports that the country might seek support from the International Monetary Fund next month amid growing doubts over a European Union-backed bailout package for the country.
"These reports are jokes, they are not true," said the official requesting anonymity. "These reports do not correspond with reality."
Earlier Tuesday, Greek government officials held out little hope for an EU aid package at next week's EU summit.
The official said Greece may approach the IMF as early as the Easter weekend of early April for support.
But the finance ministry official stressed that Greece hasn't officially sought financial support from the EU, reiterating that Greece has only requested political support from its partners.
