You see how the DX 61.8% & Channel line got hit perfect? Turning into a nice bounce (It's still early but it's a good sign).

Still I would have liked to see the EU hit 3609... Only time will tell if it was enough.

i can assure you, i can't do that. i sniped away (.50$/pip) 50-100 pips just scalping in and out of moving markets every day, which is kind of exhausting. as soon as i started to think about the market, learn stuff i'd have run away from a few years earlier, i started loosing. i have no clue why... possibly i'm waiting too long for really good signals, fearing consequences if sth turns against me and so on. tight sls nearly always turned against me in the past, and when it happens i don't have the nerve to re-enter.

i know you shouldn't think...

Good morning!


Yes - I have just read your post here. That is the main reason why I do never use 'STOP LOSS ORDERS'. I have learned from an old Trading Desk Trader from a very well known Financial Service that most of the trades are wiped out of too tight stop loss orders - just because most of the participitiants do not have the nerves to sit out the shit ideas they had when they entered a trade.

A 'STOP LOSS' is mostly a garanty that you will make a loss.

For that reason - we use only 'Stop reverse' (minimum 3x amount of previous position size).

Moreover it is good to analyse the failing trades with math methods - then you will possibly see that most of your failing trades would have been went out quite right and OK for you - if you would have been waiting a little bit longer until the hammer has nailed it down for you.

For that reasons 'Real PRO Platforms' even never do not use a so-called 'trailing stop' facillities. Because it is a play-tool for CHILDREN. But such play tools are not adequate / not convenient / not suitable for a real trader.

Thight Stops are mostly a grantor for loss.

Why not just do trade the opposite direction then - if often stopped out?

Could be a funny experience.

Most of the participitiants react when they see a move - which has been done already. Then they jump in the same direction - the market has been moved. But too late.

So planing and timing is an important issue in this market.

Calculate your Limit Orders - Entry and Exit - and you will see that it will work out much better for you - if you do not watch the screen then anymore. Just wait and look after it a few hours later and cash your lines then. Better you are - if you have learned by the time to calculate your 'ENTRIES and EXITS' precise enough - that you only must look for your P&L-HISTORY on a day to day basis.

Watching charts is making mad. Best results I have ever been made - when I traveled by rail through my beloved Confederatio Helvetica and just ordered by phone what my calculations and intuitions gave to me.

Its all in the air. Not in the charts. Charts show some nice grafical patterns - not less - but not more as well - but the market is drawing its own way. And market don't like your grafical views - ha ha!

Excuse me for my clumsy ENGLISH - its not the language of my choice.

then 3497 repeat bounce crap at any posted target. not hitting the first target is a strong bullish sign
Hey Gator...does 3342 have any significance to you? Particularly when paired with 3686? Looking back 5/4/2009-5/18/2009, 3/18/2009-3/27/2009, 1/6/2009-1/12/2009, and 10/10/2008-10/20/2008....

For that reason I have a tight stop loss and high risk reward ratio, 4:1.

I am new to forex. Just curious what makes you so sure to short? You think NFP will be in favour of EU? Thanks in advance.

what a weaken market.. It seems to stay in sell position until US data, but also this action confirms me we will have a range possibility today between 13400-13585..

If I had my pips back which I lost every time I thought that news will move this bit*h the "right way", I would... mmmm, have an extra amount with many zeroes on my bank account.

Bits of News, besides some REALLY important ones such as Bid Rate have little to no meaning.

Do not be fooled by this. Market only reacts to news when it wants to.

This is especially true today when market is so thin.

Goodmorning All,

I also agree today is going to be a tuff day for trading in terms of trying to predict in advance what's going to happen because of the NFP data later today,

This is some scenarios that i was thinking of:

scenario 1:
The market can jump to 1.3653 then large move down

scenario 2:
The market can jump to 1.3653 then small move down, then again a large move upwards towards 1.3957

scenario 3:
The market just continue going downwards till 1.3267 then upwards

scenario 4:
The market just continue going downwards till 1.3267 then also past till 1.3140

senario 5:
not any of the above and just something crazy that no one can predict..

Your point is that we must not trade news (even if 2 IMPORTANT and 1 MEDIUM in EXACTLY ONE TIME) ?

(RFX)IMF fueled E.Europe crisis to get work-Czech cbanker


VIENNA, April 2 (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund fueled the economic crisis in emerging Europe last year to create a situation in which it would be asked to help bail out the region, a Czech central banker was quoted as saying on Friday.
The Fund, which led the rescue of former Communist Hungary, Latvia, Ukraine and Romania, misinterpreted data as it was seeking a task under its new management, Czech deputy governor Mojmir Hampl told Austrian daily Der Standard in an interview.
"It's ridiculous that it was the IMF, of all people, who acclerated the crisis," Hampl said. "This was an apparent attempt to bring about a bail-out of an entire region."
"Before this crisis, (the IMF had) virtually no clients. With this crisis and the new leadership under Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the Fund found a new job and got more funds."
Hampl said the IMF, like others, highlighted data that exaggerated the exposure of western European banks to the region because they ignored the fact that the loans of western banks' subsidiaries were to a large extent covered by local deposits.
"The misinterpretation by the IMF was particularly unpleasant, and it had to correct those data after we intervened," he said.
Hampl reiterated his central bank's view that there was no rush for the Czech Republic to join the common euro currency, neither from the Czech side nor from euro zone members.
"The demand for new euro zone members has dropped in the crisis," he said. "The decision about Estonia will show the way. It could get more complicated than it was for Slovenia and Slovakia."
He warned that joining the euro was not a panacea for emerging Europe's countries: "Some think that as soon as they have joined the euro, they can breathe again. This leads directly into the Greek scenario."
"The founding fathers of the euro thought that it would accelerate structural reforms," he said. "The Greek example shows that the opposite is true."

(RFX)Czech cbank's Singer,Tomsik voted to cut rates


PRAGUE, April 2 (Reuters) - Czech central bankers Miroslav Singer and Vladimir Tomsik voted for a quarter point rate cut at the March 25 monetary policy meeting, minutes from the session showed on Friday.
The governing board voted 4-2 not to cut the lowest interest rates in the region further from their record lows. The main two-week repo rate is at 1 percent, the same as in the euro zone.
Most board members agreed interest rates were close to bottoming out but should rise slower and later than assumed in the current forecast.
Some board members said that the downside risks to CPI were so significant that a downward movement in interest rates could be imagined if those risk were to materialise.
