I typically use a 10 pip S/L on A/U trades... most A/U trades are only 5-10 pip burst trades though.. this trade was ripe and ready for the picking though so I moved S/L to B/E at +10. Almost 100 pips of partial profit taken here.

Nice!! so I figure you've made your quota for next week?

my ec is getting closer to the 300 pips. I'm tempted to take profit at 1.35..

but looking at the daily I have a feeling we might be reaching up to the 365 ema. which is somewhat close to the 38 fib.

and as usual.. I have my HNS theory on the daily as well.. But I will not be trading by it.

Yea I'm done for the week. I'm suspecting that PA will move back up to 8780 - 8800 before falling again. That's just from looking at the MA's.

put TP at 1.34970 on EC...

since its a looong term big ppz. Although I always want a big runner, I cant let myself become too greedy, and risk half my profit trying to go through a big PPZ.

Isnt important how many pips you risk becouse all is about size you use,i use lower size when i work trend continuation setup and larger when work retracement but all size i place are strick according MM...

My moto on Forex try to take pips from Trend and try to take on retrace for that you need very good knowlagde and we all learn every day...

Do you have any experience with this type of environment? I am unsure on how to trade it.

Sometimes it helps to look at another chart. This is telling me that we are broke below the consolidation range and price was rejected from res. and we should watch asian.

I have been lurking and quietly testing a new chart setup. lol I have taken very few trades this week except for 3 pairs yesterday at the same time and a dragon scalp today. Mostly watching my setups and studying things. lol

I'm around, just distracted. I am trying to avoid staring at the screen for hours on end. I am working on placing orders and checking on them later. More swing style than scalp.

Traders look for rebound in dollar ETF
July 15, 2010 Thu 11:48 AM CT

A key ETF that tracks the dollar's performance against other currencies has been selling off in the last month, but unusual option activity today is looking for a bounce.

http://www.optionmonster.com/cms/com...ges/uup715.pngThe PowerShares DB U.S. Dollar Index (UUP) exchange-traded fund is down another 0.78 percent in today's trade, currently at $24.06. The ETF has been in a reasonably steep and steady decline since hitting a 52-week high of $25.84 in early June. Despite this recent decline, shares have only erased the gains from May and are just back to where they were at the beginning of that month.

The UUP's total option volume remains below average, but calls are outnumbering puts 5 to 1 so far. In addition, volume in the December 25 calls is more than five times the open interest at that strike. A trader snapped up 5,000 of those calls, the majority for $0.43.

This call buying is looking for the UUP to rise back above what will likely be resistance around that $25 level. Shares were above that price on the last day of June, and this trade is a bet that the latest decline is a temporary pullback in a longer-term uptrend in the dollar.
