Bloomberg are saying that investors just used the "Greece and Portugal" excuse to take some money off the table and they are expecting the indices to rally back. I guess they've got to put their money somewhere
yea, I guess they put it on gold

Are you expecting an end-of-month sell-off? You're shorting a nice monthly candle.

Gold is tough to short, but it will come down for 200-300 pips soon, if not I have to pay my broker 4% of my equity

Maybe we are going to reach a point where the US$ goes up while the indices go up as well. Here we go with your gold. Fixing time - 3.00 pm.

Sure is. You think she'll keep coming down to yesterday's lows?

no, they are done going up, even if we are in a real bull market -which I dont think so- this one needs a descent correction lower

I saw tweezer tops, daily R1 and 119% of it's ADR and I still couldn't face shorting it Greece needs more money - ho, hum .... And he had a message for investors betting otherwise: “I can see a number of you have been betting particular ways,” Mr. Papaconstantinou said in a calm voice. “All I can say is that you will lose your shirt.”

And I better go and iron some - catcha later

Struggling hard at the moment.. but still nice in profit.
That daiy pivot seems a hard nut (@ 1162).. holding above it for the last some hours already.. no close below it yet and always bouncing back up hard. hope we can finally crack that one now.
saving at BE or cash in part of the position is no option for you?
(of course... "stick to the plan" should be the motto. but that PA around daily pivot makes me considering...

No SL>B/E until I see 200 pips on that sucker,
it's really given me a hard time , it went to the sky in 3 min, again
you cant put SL>B/e on that one atm, in ranges 60-70 pips in 5 min

Hey Vantage, thanks for the indicator, haven’t tried it yet.
Shahab, I noticed you use fxpro. So I did a comparison between my candles and yours. Not only do my candles close at different times but the open is off too…
For instance, comparing April 27 candles we have:
Yours:
O= 1.33811
H= 1.34145
L= 1.31654
C= 1.31742
Mine:
O= 1.3391
H= 1.3413
L= 1.3142
C= 1.3159
So basically my day starts and ends with one hour after the trading day starts. My pivot for today using pivot auto-weekly gives me a daily pivot of 1.3238 on EURUSD which is completely off. I am guessing that my weekly and monthly lines can be off too. I am gonna try out Vantage’s indicator and see if I can tweak the time in it. If not then I guess I am gonna have to plot the lines manually. I don’t suppose that the indicators you supplied can have their times changed; if there is a way to change them could you tell me how?
Thanks again

I was just going to say to put your stop at B/E but I see you have. Not worth losing 4% over. It's just not looking very bearish to me and once fixing was over it jumped.

How long do you test your ea's on demo before you let them handle the real cash?
hey tuner..... no demo's..... they go straight from the factory to the fields.....

//----- on the targets

still studying on it, but visually, the daily r1 for buys and daily s1 for sells appears to be the best overall first target.....

we need to write something to count the number of times the daily r1, r2, s1, s2 and so on were hit..... that would give us a better mathmatical idea..... eyes can be decieving.....h
