Amazon.com earnings are down.. that "might" be it.. or maybe just a little profit taking before the Asian session.

Quoting Pippy5000
I'm starting to get supremely angry.. I'm up 3 pips still and I'm searching all over the place for news to cause this after the bell USD strength.

Maybe it's nothing other than black boxes like you said.
Trading algorithms usually trade after the close depending on the price during the day. And today was a day for selling! Also it could be the day traders closing positions, but that was not the case today.

moving my EU stop 8 pips lower to 1.3247 .. I want to be able to use 1.325 as support .. If that breaks the move would point to 1.30 and I don't want to ride it down

I don't trade EG, but there's a trade opportunity developing.. 86 is MAJOR support ..

I'm not going to do any trades today.. I nailed two big GJ trades this week and the rest of my trades died but were small.. I ended up 100+ pips.. decent, not great.

hey Pippy, what you think about GJ....where is it going from here? i'm also watching the 145 area.... you reckon it could drop from there down or head towards 150 area?

  • Apr 25, 2010 5:19pm Apr 25, 2010 5:19pm
I'm just going to give 145 a try.. if it holds it will be a great double-top and the door will be opened for a huge move... it's worth 30 pips to try.

didn't hold.. huge Japanese equity rally saw to that.. I'll leave it alone.

Next decent resistance around 147 - 147.2

  • Apr 26, 2010 6:51pm Apr 26, 2010 6:51pm
I'm looking to sell it but not for a lot higher..

GJ just broke a TL drawn on the hourlies.. that's a sell signal. I'm not taking it though.. On a decent enough dip I'd pick it up long for a trend trade.

I'm up 40 on my 2nd EU trade and holding until tomorrow
