Ha ha - what a craaaaaazzzzzyyy market. That Euro must be spinning traders' minds. This was the reading this morning. So it stopped them out, they switched to short and then it rebounds 170 pips or so.

EURUSD - The ratio of long to short positions in the EURUSD stands at -1.02 as nearly 51% of traders are short. Yesterday, the ratio was at 1.79 as 64% of open positions were long. In detail, long positions are 10.2% lower than yesterday and 35.2% stronger since last week. Short positions are 64.7% higher than yesterday and 43.4% stronger since last week. Open interest is 16.6% stronger than yesterday and 12.1% above its monthly average. The SSI is a contrarian indicator and signals more EURUSD gains.
Nothing worth having is easy.

Just coming home.
Seein that my pending long on E/G had been triggered with last nights drop.
(Didn't really think we might reach that area (weekly S3) down there, but we did :o)
Long from .8615 = weekly S3.. (which happens to be daily S1 today as well)
with the near round number of .86 I had my stop a bit below that @ .8590
(=25pips) Saved at BE+1 now.
initial TP 110pips (=50 fib)
after a lil break @ 38.2 fib it almost hit that target now
+95 at the moment.

Lookin at the daily chart again this might even have been a good entry for a longer term move back up to the .90area?!

But with EUR at the moment it just needs some Greece gossip over the weekend and I see my trade at BE+1 at Sunday open..

Any thought from you guys?

Ha ha - what a craaaaaazzzzzyyy market....
it clearly is a choppy market. I am one of them. I was long last night before getting stopped out at 1.3240 this morning so I entered a short at 1.3220.

so Basically If I didn't do anything and had no s/l order in place, I would have been in profit but instead I am in loss now and price is 70 pips higher than my closing price last night.

what a day/week/month of trading this has been for me...

Not happy :-(

Hi mate, sorry to hear that, are you loaded with A/U longs? Gold went up 200 pips in one hr, I think A/U will follow

be careful with shorting gold imo ,the upward move is impulsive, it will go higher than 1169, let's take it down at our previous target at 1188.

Always nice to know you in the same boat
Had a pretty hard week. Back to a tiny account size now...

Think I really might let that one run a bit longer (If I had more positions I would TP on part of it, but I haven't)
Hope the weekend doesn't "gap me" and will wait what the weekly pivot/s/r look like next week.

You got your stop according to the LSR on that one?

Had another nice trade Long A/U. from weekly S1 on the second bounce.
Closed that one for 30 pips when the New home Sales number printed.
Thought it would be pro USD but it turned out pro risk now.
Good decision to TP on part of your shorts
that A/U can drive one crazy these days. For me only good for some bounces at the moment...
