Well, if you refer back to my previous post of leaving my long goig with sl at be, I ended getting stopped out. Worst part is I saw the sellers that pushed gu down just past my stop. Lesson learned: if I'm going to go for longer trades I really should be setting my stop further away to give some room. My flight is pushing back now. Later guys!

Edit. Title should read learning. Thx iPhone auto correct!
Change is the only constant

The 2 bar reversal at 2951 frightened me off. When it came back to that level, it stalled at 52 for a while. That was enough for me, 1 pip away from my original TP and stalling. Time to get out.

Dunno what to say, differences in feeds i suppose!

Been meaning to ask, you posted your requirements for a trade earlier but what is your profit target? Do you set it to 1:1 or just monitor it?

It depends on what highs and lows are around. I will mostly set TP at the nearest high/low to a R:R of 1:1. This is almost always achievable.

no just as you guys were chatting about eu ....

I htink eu is being accumulated .... but needs time to work.
If this is case could be a really nice up move coming and I think based on a 4hr chart oil , it could because oil rips

Ah fair enough, thought you were referring to something in particular I said! Something needs to happen cos it's fairly "sideways" at the moment.

Round up the usual suspects…

Middle East? Check!
Asian central banks? Bingo!

You’d think these guys were in cahoots or something…Both groups have been buyers of EUR/USD on dips both overnight and in NY and they have been sellers on rallies… The Big Panda has been rumored active buying below 1.2920 and selling above 1.2980.

Rinse, repeat.

EU is really hard to read this NY afternoon I find - plenty (read too much) movement in this dead zone time period, but that's low liquidity both time-of-day and due to big boys probably not back in force yet.

It gave back about 50% of the down move from NY morning, and there's buying evident there, but if we close above here, we'll barely be ~20 pips beyond yesterday's 5pm close of 1.295ish - at least yesterday it did 45 pips beyond the previous close. Should bode well for at least a 1.302 test.

Nonetheless, a good base seems to be in, and I'm sure we'll see a DPP test around 1.293 soon. Key is that 1.29045 low was bought - problem is, there are bigger fish in the sea that will show their cards, and upward momentum is still lacking, with too many determined selling players. There's a lot of downward direction that many are expecting - these bond auction results or some euro-brussels gum flapping will probably get it going in the next day or 36 hours I hope.

Doesn't feel like it, but we did get a 100 pipper out of GU!

Here's some current commentary on one of the industry's best guys out there. Ashraf Laidi.

Intraday Market Thought, from Ashraf Laidi

2011.01.11 11:30: EURO CAT BOUNCE RUNNING OF LIVES as the highs get lower ahead of Portugals auction of 1.25 bln in 5 and 10 year bonds (Wednesday) and Spains auction of 3bln in 5-year bonds (Thursday) will be scrutinized in terms of subscription as well as resulting yield. The 200-day MA at $1.3070-80 stands as the immediate barrier for any recovery, but position traders who are short the pair ought to be comfortable with stops above $1.3280. Shorting GBPUSD and EURGBP is another viable way of going against EURUSD. The GBPUSD portion may have shown resiliency above the $1.54 support (200DMA) but considerable pressure remains at $1.5630s. AUDCAD breaks further below its trendline but the key test is found at 0.9720-00 a close below which should trigger 0.9330s. WATCH ASHRAF's BNN INTERVIEW ON PORTUGAL & EURUSD
