Ha!

that is a good place for a short IMO.

I've gone short GJ this morning (pin bar off a TL) and EU @ 1.2105 - TL and PPZ area so a trend trade.
Gj out @ BE. Price hit FTA, I moved SL to BE it then hit this area before continuing down and has burst down through TL on the back of really poor US retail sales data.

stop moved to BE on GU trade and will leave it to see if can get down to 1.4500 area. Sl moved up on EG to 0.8270 as price has broken above a PPZ area so banking on this holding if price is to continue upwards.

Will probably have a lot of BEOB's on the 1HR xxx/jpy pairs following the Us retail sales data...

You can see the WC started LOL

The first match opening was very nice, quite emotional.

Next coming trading weeks will be affected by the event, especially in Europe. In my previous experience I saw certain businesses going completely flat during the World Cup matches.

Anyway, no more trades for this week.
Good luck everybody with your Team. We play on Monday.

Enjoy the weekend.

LJ. Nice to have you back.

Yeah you sure can.

I closed my GU and EG trades earlier for some profit...if it wasn't Friday and if I wasn't doing other things then I would have left open. closed @ 1.4574 and @ 0.8293...I reckon I've closed them well short of where they can go but had enough of trading for today as wanna do other things, plus still catching up on sleep. Those few trades have added nearly 2% to my account today.

Only open trade is EU from 1.2105 with 200 pip SL.

Looking forward to lots of football over the weekend...and of course the big game tomorrow ...wow what an opening goal to the world cup that was...an awesome strike!

you don't get much worse than that! Though better to make a mistake at this stage than further down the line.

It was like watching the same old England though...can't dominate midfield or keep possession for long periods and both wingers showed their true co lours...lots of pace but no final ball...they are so inconsistent it drives us mad! It was a big mistake taking players like them who have had dodgy seasons over younger more inform players. Still had two great chances to win it though...both shots were pretty poor at this level, gotta be clinical. On that evidence England are far from a great side at the moment, so many things that need improving.

Just watching the Algeria - Slovenia game whilst going over my charts...it's a very very dull game!

whilst its easy to cast green as the villain, there should have been more goals scored given that the US defence was so poor.

anything looking good on your charts?

US is a pretty solid team, and this game was dubbed the biggest game in US history by just about every media outlet. No doubt the US team was hungry. While that goal england gave up was laughable, I thought both teams had played pretty well. Of course, don't know a ton about soccer, enjoyed the game though.

Indeed, Heskey and Wright-philips had chances that they should be burying at this level...but then both players have been in poor form for club all season.

Here are some charts that are of interest for me in terms of locations that are near.

1. YMMO - 10250 area - Tl, PPZ and fib confluence and if not this area then 10430 area which has PPZ and two fib confluences.

2. Oil - further moves down?

3. Gold - breakout to new highs or retracement to TL / PPZ areas

4. U/CHF - PPz, TL and fib confluence

5. A/U - near top of daily range.

6. EU...can 1.2140 hold as resistance...I hope so.

I'd just take a touch near the confluenced area.

1HR U/CAD BUOB trade in play - 2% at risk.

BEOB is off a weekly PPZ area.

As I mentioned yesterday AU is at the top of it's range...I've taken a speculative short with 0.5% at risk and will add further positions if we start to break lower / get some PA.

1st position was entered @ 0.8557 with SL @ 0.8585
2nd pending short (1%) is @ 0.8540 with same SL

question - there have been significant green bars pushing against the 8500 level.wouldnt you look at 86 for better entries? or is this because of the bearish recent h1 bar?

I see the PPZ and confluence starting @ 0.8540 area...thus I'm testing the waters so to speak to see if this area will hold based on divergence on the 30 min chart. Not looking good at the moment.

I'd be then looking for 0.8640 for another short opportunity...especially if YMMO was @ 10400 too.

EUR and GBP are strong this morning and I have valid 'signals' to go long them and short AUD and CAD.

Made the mistake of going long GJ and EU and short AU, long UC...where I should have mayeb been looking for longs on EC,EA, GC, GA.

Was very close to going long EA and EC earlier today...the TL on EA put me off but EC has been looking good for longs for the past few days. I4B on GCAD was an opportunity
