Did US data do all this?
I went to sleep and look what PA did......
Downgrade of Portugal made everything take a dump before London and then London open started everything up! I have no idea what sparked it.

LIBERATING - Sounds cliché but I will tell you why

[color=#211600]When you trade FX, you are your own boss. You don't have deadlines, you don't have quotas, it is just you and your talent. You are only limited by yourself. This hits home to me for many reasons. I have been all over the financial landscape. Front-Desk, back-desk, middle-desk, you name it, I have been there. All that time I had quotas, bosses, procedures and creativity-limiting rules. My hands were chained by procedure. I left the "corporate" world to do...

IMO, as these insolvent nations get downgraded it's perceived as a positive, because bondholders don't want high-quality (low) yields for a low quality (risky) bond. So when ratings and then yields start to align themselves with reality, investors gain confidence.

Though it does put more pressure on the state issuing the bonds, since they'll be paying higher interest on their debt (possibly making it harder to pay the debt at all).

Hey guys,

Are there any longer term traders who use pivots for confirmation/decision support out here?

I'm contemplating adding them to my toolbox, but every time I get a new toy I just end up cluttering up my charts so much I can't even see price.

I can see how they would be useful for scalps. but that's a short road to the poorhouse for me.

I use pivots all the time. Not specifically for Long-Term trades, but if they line up with other SR then it helps. Also, S123 and R123 work well too. I use them a lot. Here are 2 different ones you can use. The Tri Pivs is just a backtest Weekly, Daily and Monthly. The other provides SR as well as pivs.

An example. These are by no means Long-Term, but when they line up with other SR then they can cause major friction to the tune of 100+

Hey Marc,
You watching this?
Yea. Don't forget that Amy has sell limits at 8865. I'm just watching PA for now until tomorrow. London really pi**ed me off last night. I hate trading London but since I didn't book any trades during the day yesterday I felt it was necessary.

Go back on your A/U M15 to see those wicks at London open. I got burned on one really bad!

Looking at au, I still have my sell orders at 8865 which is the weekly highs. Price has just meet up with the green highs at 8841 and this matches with a 80 pip top but if this 4hr bar closes above 8841 then my sells will be cancelled.

Looking at the dollar index it dosn't really support a top, I have a suspicion that eu is heading back above 1.30 which will probably put pressure on au to rise. If I was at home this week I would be trading longs not shorts but since I have little screen time I am looking for a longterm move.

Hi there. I feel same like amy that there is $ weakness and I will not try to sell $ for sure. Many xxx/usd looks bearish but $ index looks bearish to me too. That is real sh*t Probably short term buy $ trades and we will see what will then happen ? What do you think
