3407, who would have guessed? Oh sh!t I did:


Have a good weekend all.
You're up there with the very best Cloggie, if I actually wore one I'd take my hat off to you - but I do thank you for the useful advice you post.

I only placed 2 trades today and they were on the back of your advice after the NFP news. I made it up to 13397.4

Well, I actually placed another but that was pure mistake with the kitten sitting on my lap, pressed the sell instead of buy key but was quickly off - oops. Cat thinks it's so smart. Tries to sit on my lap all the time I am at the keys. It's cute but a hindrance, lol. If I find out how I will post a photo of it lolling in the bathroom waiting for me to finish. It's smartened up though, stopped jumping into the shower before I've finished. Guess 2 soakings were enough for it

Have a great weekend all ...

Cloggie,
The knowledge you have shared with us in the short time you've been here has been more than anything I've seen anywhere in a long, long time. Your input is greatly valued here. There are way more people that appreciate your presence here than the few that do not (for whatever reason they do not I cannot fathom).

Have a good weekend. You earned it.

I did well trading this week (900 pips on yooro alone) but am missing out on other trades by spending too much of my time here especially as I do not see that my contribution is making a significant difference, so why waste the time.

Have a good weekend all.

Easy comes, easy goes. 100% retrace of the panic move. Now back to where we suppose to be before the overreaction last week....
Very much agreed! You got the propaganda schedule right!

isn't this resistance too obvious? I mean it is not obvious we've got here but imho we are far from such a disaster (outside EZ) that would give reasons to break 34-345 area.

also yesterday was a such a good lesson to see how big fakes can be

eu is difficult atm. every euro sold is immediately bought back. red-green-red-green... like a disco.

closed my 3400 short at 3980 for preservation. if it drops more... okay.

btw: the lt perspective, if it plays out... when would it be confirmed?

long overdue correction. first level was 1.3480 for this week, but it didn't get there in time (yet) so next week it may continue up to 1.36 area.

volume wise, daily chart looks so far like another rally to be sold - see notes on chart - BUT not yet. there are two important things i want to point out right now: today's tick volume was LOW with much more BID TICKS - this means, "we're not interested in this up move, but we sold into it".

this may be done for the week. enjoy the weekend!

Just saw the tail end of your message saying that you felt you were wasting your time posting on this site.

Cloggie, I have no idea how you find the time to do so, but it certainly isn't wasted. Along with those by Gator, T@arantula and a few others, I sift through these pages and read all your posts. Even if I don't trade them all (reading AND trading - sometimes just too interesting) but you give great advice.

If I ever become good enough for my posts to make worthwhile reading, that will be down to what I have learned from the likes of you.

Thanks - never you are not valued

Cloggie don't be discouraged, I'm learning a lot from your ranging charts and suggestions. I just need a better understanding of how to identify support as you do.

i spoke to a guy who used to work for FXCM and left becuase of their "unethical behaviour"

if your from UK i can recommend a broker that does not increase its spread 1 pip during any news release and spread on E/U is 1 pip......always.
seriously ? nfp things go nuts .... this is why a lot of traders stay away from trading it.

It has little to do with the broker more the liquidity of the market and the bids / ask being moved.

I have a 200 source feed and on the 5 min following nfp price was jumping up and down 30 pip min on the candle as the bid / ask was moved

If a trader is moaning about a 27 pip spread at nfp they should not be trading it as they do not understand the market behaviour around one of the major news announcements out there. , simple as that.

wait for 15 to 30 after news and then trade it there was a nice test 1,3330 for 70 pip

I had a long before nfp off 1.3200 I had 50 pip profit and instead of setting stop be i took it off the label , missed the whole up move . BUT if nfp had of been awesome for usd we may have seen a 100 pip spike down and went right thru my stop and stopped me out at -50 or higher. This is where the real gaps are on news days when liquidity dries up.

However, I feel a break coming up again from the thread. There are too many muppets/noobies here clogging up the thread with rubbish posts, smileys, youtube vids and pointless discussions about subjects they have no knowledge in.

This is meant to be a trading thread but it is turning once more into a thread where some gurus spam their garbage, 10v posters post silly sh!t and change posts or come up with magical BE exits, and full of noobs asking questions that should be googled first.

One more thing that gets under my skin are the 10v members here posting absolute tosh and rubbish after the fact stating how obvious and easy a move was. Post it before or shut up. You don't see me harping on after the fact, I post my ranges, post my triggers and post continuation levels during a move and keep the muppets out of picking tops and bottoms.

Anyone understanding what I was saying from the moment NFP came out could have easily found himself 100 pips better of. That's not bad going for a Friday afternoon.

I left the City because it was filling up with illiterate !d!ots, only to find the same here.

Ah well, rant over.

Hi Skyzer, haven't seen posts from you for a while. Was just reading through and came across this one. Made me laugh as usual. Cheers, laughing is good medicine, LOL ...
Cheers guys, I've been here when EUR near 1.30 ones.. I'm concentrate

on stock trading right now.. And on Forex using "system": "Point and shot"

looking over like 10-12 currencies then place orders, then next day

checking what's in PLUS, closing what's in minus, averaging down, so

far doing this with small lot on Real account and normal lots on demo..

Results are amazing. No sleepless nights or 24/7 watching..

Will play this for more... I need something like set it and forget it..

It's hard to trade stocks options and currencies at the same time...

AS of now I have position in GBPCHF long, as it drops hard.. Surely will

close it in profit in few days.. on EU I'd probably be buyer in 1.30 or lower area

and seller with 1.40 and up- that's the strategy.

Did you Watch DJ NEWS before EU rebound..? All those USB and other

Bank Analyst (like rats came out of the holes) lowering EU end Year target to like 1.10-1.15 this is just

"LOL" I need to apply for that job, cause I can do better than those

a**holes..

Let's ripoff those criminals!

Hi Cloggie,

with all respect I have to admit that you are doing a fantastic job here. A few others (Tarantula, Wormboy and others to name a few) are cool too, but for me you are the best.
You are working like a precision machine and I am working hard to find the areas from where the breakouts happen.
