Thats not quite right. It is large traders versus commercials. When they are at extremes you bet against the large traders. For example, commercials will be extreme short after a rally because they are hedging against that price rise. The large traders are at extreme long contracts because they have been buying into the rally. The commercials unload their positions as their business deals settle and they no longer need the hedge. This usually causes price to drop, sometimes a little and sometimes alot. Extreme positioning preceeded the EUR/USD drop...

You are right, when both the large traders and commercial traders are at extremities. It is time to follow the commercial traders original position. My apology.

I think it is correct to say that the Yen is losing its strength and going short.
However USDX is gaining strength.

Thanks for the correction, I heard him 5 years ago, had the principle right (extremes and having someone to offload to) but mixed up a detail (small v commercial).

Thanks for pointing that out, PB did very well from this set up by all acc's and I'll be watching for this in future.

Cheers.

extreme levels arent in yet and retail are 80% long at the moment. I would expect price to go lower and shake off those retail traders and drag some more large traders in short before we see a turn. This is the problem with cot , it can take weeks, even months and hundreds, even thousands of pips against you before the market turns. And then it might not turn at all, just consolidate till the heat comes off and then continue in the same direction. You need a long term view and good risk management and patience to get the timing right.

Shahab, the expanding triangle you mentioned in your a/u chart, is it a continuation pattern? Or is it a specific bullish pattern? You see, I'm not familiar with this pattern.

Thanks for your time!
It's not about how much you make, it's about how much you don't lose.

Hi,

Expanding triangle usually is a continuation pattern. But there is other version of it ( you cant differentiate them well) which is a reversal pattern like a broadening Top/Bottom or a megaphone pattern.

Here is EW definition:
