Just a reminder that today is end of week and Monday is end of month so there will be volatility due to that.

Monday is USA Holiday.
Volume may be lot lower near London Close on Monday.

FYI

Thanks. Please feel free to tell us about any other US holidays in future as I consider them important to trading.

Well I set my long off the top of the H4 bar at around 1.4580 and the next bar picked it up, took it down to the stop loss 1.4475, continued past those support levels and past some more support levels, presumably to steal some more money to 1.4407. Then it went back up to 1.4580 again. Someone with deep pockets was stop hunting. A very humbling experience.
I have the same feeling that someone is hunting the stops. Price gets up, down, but not really going anywhere.

Hi Ashes,

EU is in consolidation right now and IMO it is making a temporary bottom. Here is my view of EU. There is also divergence on both charts.
true for consolidation and divergence. still I was anticipating a support break, but I was wrong

is there anyone trading or analysing usdchf?
it seems to preparing a trend reversal, what do you think?
usdchf is on my tradingplan today. if the actual candle closes below 8/21 in about 2h I might go short

I also see a possible long to 89sma on eu, since the price has gone through 8/21 came back and bounced off

let's wait and see how those candles close

edit:

eu ran away and has already reachend 89sma
usdchf has fallen down too far for a reversal entry. maybe it will come back to 8/21 and generate a nicer signal

... so I wait ...

I hope people made some pips from the EU breakout.

Here is one I'm looking at. It's a carry trade pair and needs a sell off later today.

possible long on gu in 2h.
price has made it through 89sma, came back below 8ema and may close above 89 and 8.
previous candle closed almost at 89sma, that's why I didn't consider it an entry
let's see how the actual candle closes

edit:
might also take the usdchf bounce off 8ema, 1h left until candle close

edit:
doesn't look like an entry is given, i call it a week

a good weekend to all of you

Take a rest man.

Tomorrow is the first day of a long week end in USA.
More likely, it will be slow in USA market Today after Londan Close.

Monday is USA Holiday.
Volume may be lot lower near London Close on Monday.

FYI
It is also a bank holiday in the UK so volume will be low all day. Also it is NFP week.
Although it will be low volume all day on Monday, it is expected to be very high volume and high volatility on Tuesday especially since news of Spain's credit rating downgrade.

Yes, have a very good weekend everyone. See you all on Tuesday. I will have to tie my hands down to stop from trading on Monday. I will be so tempted to put on a trade.

I guess this is one of the challenge I am facing too. There are so many temptation and I have to be very self discipline and wait for the right time to enter. Still trying hard to conquer this habit...
