any lesson learned?
Well, when I look back my first loss was a buy at 1.32 exactly. It went into profit for about 10 pips but then, 15 minutes later I get a gravestone doji on the M15 that would have been the signal for me to close my trade but ofcourse I didn't, it went on a hit my SL.

The next one was a sell, same story, a couple of minutes in green but then it reverses and creates a long shadow but I cling on and get stopped out.

my third trade of the day was a winner, buy at 1.3085 but closed to early. Because of this I missed 140 pips.

the next one was a big loser, I went short, went in green for 5 minutes or so but then reversed at the 20SMA of ma bollinger. got stopped out at 75 pips.

we are here where the MACD moved above the zero line and it is going to be a close call for all the moving averages to cross over up

When you put your ICHIMOKU THE CROSS has gone to the upside from yesterday and past the cloud.

buy the dip

December will do that to you, once a trigger goes she goes in a hurry. I miss plenty of setups during this month due to the volatility. I normally don't trade now, but wanted to see how the month develops. Snowing like crazy here anyways so nothing else to do.
Not in London, the Strand.... although it's too dark to see.

Was going to ask you about how to trade the triggers as I'm still unsure about the fake-bake-continuation thing. But I think I'm identifying the price levels alot better than I've had before.

I take your point on volatility. I've not traded in December before so all new to me.
A pip is only worth it if you know how much you risked to earn it

If this m5 ABC pattern completes, the H1 inverse target will be met.

I think you was reading my mind i was just setting up chart for nfp tomorrow and was looking at the 13280 - 13300 to catch a ride south of 12700 that would sure be a nice run.
If that happens that will prove that we are undergoing a correction. If the bull run continues we are in a positive reversal so 42xx can be expected again.

Im more inclined to mid term bearish view atm, but paying attention to all the possibilities.

I agree, it was a v. difficult day in my books to properly manage a trade & stops H4 (and obliviously below) after reports. Also agree that volatility should increase in the following weeks but an outside bar after a large bar (h4) is not very common at all (means most intraday traders got tested in one way or another) + means none of the session ranges properly hold during the day.

I just don't understand where this rally is coming from?

Seems like this is a ride north based on the ECB words.

you think we will see 1.3100 anytime soon?

Looks like EU is ready for short soon.

Eurgbp does not look robust to support whereas gbpusd already tested support which was good.
They think they are smarter than I am.

Not likely before tomorrow or Monday, but a very good chance then.

I know is amateurish saying this and I hate saying it but freaking ECB ruined my trade....

...sometimes you just need to say it out loud to an audience who, I am sure, have had the same felling once in a while ....lol

Well let see what the market brings tomorrow.

I can count the movement up as completed. That would fit very well at 3247.

This corrective move since days is hard to count. So I am not surprised when it moves a little bit higher.

2 things: Confidence and Action

1. Trichet shown who is THE BOSS at home. With Lots of confidence and not much talking he presented a confidence..
2. While he was busy with reporters.. ECB started an intervention in BOND markets.. buying from the Lows..

Very smart.. Mr. BEN has lots of lessons to learn... About the Confidence and Credibility

I made enough to not worry about it at all, but i went short {for my first 'bad' trade of the week}, stepped away for a bit, & now I am short from around 1.3100 with only a $1 pip so I am not to worried, Just trying to decide if I should close it or if I should ride it out and just stack on the shorts starting around 1.33xx - depending on what the charts say.
