Might try for daily pivot. I think Acumen says that probability of hitting daily pivot is 80%. Mine is at 1.2429.

Hi Patience, that's the reason I took it , will add at daily pivot in case it's needed sl=1.2450 for both.

Yeah, good call - indices can't hold their gains and gold is going back up. Bring on the fear ....

Keep in mind the daily candle in E/U, there is a chance we get a reversal candle at the end of the day.We'll see.

Ha, ha - I just did a long ninja on E/U for 5 pips. It makes me nervous when you are trading the other way.

You shouldn't be nervous , your calls are always better than mine .
Besides with this anxiety and volatility no one is right or wrong as far as your entry and exit is good

Hardly - it's why I keep bottling it on long gold because you have a short bias and I always remember your call over on the A/U thread when Dubai exploded and gold plummeted.

But if the market keeps this volatility up, I'll be very happy. I said to a friend that I wasn't going to trade much this week but I can't keep away

There is a wierd -90% correlation between Gold and equities ,it doesn't seem to change in the near future.

Yea, I remember that. I st my TP at 250 pips while it fell 600+ pips while I wasn't arround .

I cant read Gold well these days, you cant tell what's going on there.Remember I told you it will make a new high (it was 3-4 months ago) but I didn't expect that to stay there for this long.

I think we should open a Hedge Fund, you and I, you as the risk manager as whenever you said I should be cautious and I didn't listen I burnt my fingers.(like that short gold which I lost 4% on one call)

I do - right again It's getting messy now. Think I'll keep my money and run before I get myself into a mess. Catcha later.

Closed 2nd short on E/U from 1.2400 at 1.2318 (82+)
2nd short on E/J from 114.75 at 113.55 (120+)

I'm almost done for the week (reached my 4% weekly target on Sun & Mon), may be I take a break. We'll see.

On a separate note, US/UK/Europe equities are about to fall hard imo, try to catch the move on short A/U, N/U A/J N/J Cad/J E/J G/J.

Fantastic call on the drop!

Shahab, are you using the Action Forex S/R values on A/U or your own calculations? Amy and I had similar H L & C figures that didn't match up to the ones that Action has. It has therefore offset the Weekly pivot and S/R's. Since we've pretty much blown through all Supports at this point it's hard to determine which calculations are right (Action's or my own).
