Went short two lots averaging 98.3, I am not sure whether to exit at 97.3 as my original TP or not. Considering the holidays in the US and thin volumes and current fundamental issues, I think the downside is massive...

That's a tough one. It just hit my lower TL and the D S2 / W S1. It could go back to 9800 before breaking support...the highest it will go is 9840 barring any fantastic news.

Closed my shorts in GBP, I wish I had taken a larger lot
Closed one of the lots in AUD, waiting to see what happens next.

Hi Marc,
I was just working on the astro charts, what I can work out is USD strengthening, weakness in GBP ( down to 1.57XX), and AUD weakness till Wednesday. My lower target for AUD ( astrologically) is about 97.2X.
Still cant justify it in technical terms. But I am going to short GBP on rise waiting for the right astro hour. Also, DOW is showing good signs of improvement after moon change (in about 7 days). Thought you might be interested.

Sure is! Also, it's a 95% full moon out there. I wouldn't be surprised if the position of the moon caused the electromagnetic field around the Earth to shift in a way that caused the iron in Kim Jong-il's brain to go bonkers!

Good one!

Lets hope no more shelling going around, a war in ASIA is the last thing we need for a recovery. Long USD! Need not think twice.

What a market to be in.
May the pip flow with you

The neckline has been broken. IMO an ideal scenario would be a failed retest of the tl or s/r levels

Well guys that was a good night’s sleep.
4 of my sell stops were opened and closed for around 90 pips. Wish I could do that every night.
Price is sitting on the Daily Medium 3 (DM3). Will it go up or will it go down?
Let’s see what happens when Sydney opens.

IMO a retest is almost inevitable, so I'll be looking for long positions before short positions.

I'm a little long already. Hopefully it wasn't a bad move.

Euro is at my buy price, 1.3368, I thought it wasn't going to get down this far after Fridays close and I had missed the bottom but it is here now, I have a wide stop on this trade as it may fall to 1.3300ish still but I think this area is good for longs targeting new highs.

Also long au, as long as the blue lows cap price.

Currencies have now moved down for 3 weeks which is the usual amount of time for a pullback, we should be looking at something similar to think January and August I think. Only problem is I don't think the S&P has come back far enough yet.

I follow you on that. My current long on A/U is nothing more than a scalp. I won't take a good long until 9650ish or a nice bull candle on H4.

Usually you utilize tight S/L's... not this time?

DX has pulled back into the yearly midpoint (blue). As long as there is no quarterley close above here then the next move fpr the dollar should be down into the blue lows at 70 next year. This corresponds to a price of 1.60 on eu.

I have a new strategy I am trying, I have lowered my position sizes and widened my stops and am trading on larger timeframes. On the move up since June I brought 90% of the swing lows on au and eu but only held them for 100-200 pips, if I had of held them until the trend ends I would have made 10X the profit so I am trying that out now.

AU, if the next 4hr bar closes above 9734 then we have a swing low in place, next move will be back to the midpoint. Bar closes in 1 hour.
