That is funny

We are in at the same exact price. Amy's 1st TP is around 8017 I think. but this pattern should bring us to 7982 I believe.
Ah..I am about two pips lower

Btw, I have a short on AJ running too from the fib confluence around 75.21-75.42

Morning guys,
Just trying to work out what will happen today.
I think the MAs need to widen out still more, which means downhill.
Also as Saxon and MarcVum say, there’s an ascending triangle, which means downhill.
As you can see the lower fork trend line is still 53 pips away at 8192, which is also downhill.
Final yet important…the market makers are watching this thread, so they could take it the other way, just for fun.

Sorry, was out on a date with the wife, but I'm back now. I will be on for all of London I think so it should be fun.

Here are some of my charts, nothing spectacular or confusing, just trading off TLs, S/R, "00", Fibs, Pivs and confluences of the combined. Our AU triangle worked out pretty well so far

Welcome Back! I see that you changed the look and feel of your charts. They have an island/Key West feel to them!

Are you still in A/U to 8100 area?

I know huh, key lime pie
I had a tight T-Stop and was taken out a while ago, but still did well. I am just scanning the charts now and waiting for the next potential setup

hmm. I never really got the hang of T-stops. Oh well, at least you made some pips.

This is the first time I've been in a trade for so long in profit. There has been a couple of times that I've wanted to take profit but I'm convinced that the PA will move lower. It is actually quite difficult for me!

Did you at least move your stop to BE? You can take partial profit too. There are tons of alternatives to just exiting a position

Of course I'm at B/E. I've got my left eye on the Dow and S&P futures that are falling falling falling. A/U is lagging.

Don't watch, thats the beauty of swing trading, once you are in the trade just set your tp and sl and let the market do its thing.

I'm getting PA bored. I don't have any targets for a while. EU is on a target and I am just looking for the break, but I still probably wont trade that, maybe a re-test. UCAD is getting near high target, but will probably take its time due to "00" friction it is currently flirting with. I'm about to open up a book and start reading, oh so bored

Here you go. If you want to re-enter A/U pick one of the white ovals on my chart. It will either hit the 50ma or the 150ma before continuing down. Why? Because of the 150/200 crossover. It typically retouches the 150 before falling or rising which ever direction the trend is.

My broker does server maintenance around this time of night. I always lose connection for about 5 minutes... sometimes I forget to put my S/L in place before 2am ... not tonight!

Keep an eye on your europe pairs to give you an idea of AU. I am about 16 pips up on AU short, but have my finger on the trigger to get out since London is getting on soon. I don't like to have new trades right around London open +/-30 min to an hour

What the heck was that spike on the last M15 candle? Did other pairs you are monitoring experience it?

Oh, back up to "00", probably market trying to get some players around "00", it happs a lot, I got a small one on my EU trade M15 almost hit my SL. Now I set my SL to BE on AU so I will let the market take it. I set EU SL to BE too now. I don't think I will be trading EU for a while. I am having some problems reading it and GU seems to be more rational this week and last.

In about 15 min I will probably liquidate my short-term positions on AU and EU and let London volatility pass before getting back in.

It sucks that UCAD adn UCHF targets had to get hit right now, London So I don't think I will be taking them
