European Forex Technicals: More Upside Scope For EUR/USD

Intraday EUR/USD: continues to edge higher into fresh two-month highs, to bring the 1.3786 high into the picture. Thursday's bullish outside day keeps the dominant sentiment positive and fresh near-term highs above 1.3760 is favored to open the 1.3786 target, protecting the wave equality target at 1.3841. However, the negative divergence in momentum on the 60-minute chart continues to cause concern, suggesting a significant peak is not too far away. Solid support lies in the 1.3540...

Jesus you read my thoughts, today for vanity I put 2 trades in eur7jpy both went wrong, I'm handling eur7usd but I said since I'm having a good ratio I will put more risk, and then I lost what achieve yesterday
Rule number one stay to your strategy, never change, if works of course.

My last trade 7 pips green, sell 3725 closed at the very bottom, pfiuuu . Now, waiting for a brake bellow 3700 or above 3740 doesnt matter, just some PA-
u win some, lose some, we all been thru it, i got my strategy and was nicely building it for 3months, made 1500+ pips and wat did i do?? i went of course and lost 500pips between Dec-Jan chasing a revised strategy but on longer time frames and bigger gains, but forgot about the BIGGER LOSSES yikes! , lucky that was a seperate account and i kept this strategy going else i wud be bankrupt by now lol! as humans we get greedy, too full of ourselves etc and tink we can make more and more...now back to basics!

BUT i do have another strategy am working on, tho this time i will paper trade it for 1-2 months before making same mistake lol!

I been looking at 2H charts and noticed the trends, unlike 1H trends which don't last long, and 4H trends which require a massive SL and also they can reverse and u won't know it for 1-2 days lol, 2H trends seem to be a bit more reliable, so here how it goes:

- Get EUR.USD chart on 2h time frame
- set your EMA (now this bit u gotta work out urself)
- then enter trade with 80pip SL, yes is big but u gotta take a risk to make a gain
- check trade every hour for up to 2-3 hours, once price had gone past 20-30pips put in SL at 10pips, so no matter what u gonna get 10pips all day long
- then check trade 2 hourly or only 14:00, 18:00 and finally 22:00 when u come out

back testing it has made over 1000+ pips from last Oct (as far as my chart goes) so can;t be bad?? u can end up losing ur SL but is very rare. Basically u follow the 2H trend, no matter news, Elliot wave, Math Murray, NO INDICATORS (macd, sto, RSI etc) or any other system, jus stick to it

today i started my first PAPER trade:

ENTRY: 1.3703
SL: 1.3623
SL now at 1.3713 as price broke above 1.3720+
now all u gotta do is sit tight till afternoon, or even 22:00 (although as a Friday i'd take profit at 16:00 or 18:00) and see wat happens!

imho 3740 area is good place to sell the rally.
But 3800 might be in play.

lets see for daily close.
daily chart shows some drop starting next week, 100-200 pips at least.

Lets see

Trading is simple yet difficult / it is truly a battle against oneself. Greed, impatience, vanity etc. 30 pips a day is achievable and one can usually lock that in pretty quickly. Then the market retraces and comes back - or not...Unfortunately trading is something that one has to experience and feel for oneself (and blow a few real accounts) but once you get the hang of it you can make it. Patience is key. Ok enough, has it hit 3702 yet...sigh
Agreed on that one thats for sure.....

One will never understand the true emotion of trading by trading only with demo accounts.

Patience + Discipline - Greed = Success.

Thats what I trade to....

Greed is the hardest demon to battle for most traders. Conquer that one and your almost there.

You know what, I think I'd find it 10x more difficult to trade other peoples money?

Whereas I'm now very comfortable sticking loads of my own on the line.

25 pips on avg ? 1,5k pips within 3 months...

NEVER change a running system !
if u make 25 pips daily, increase ur lotsizes daily/weekly and start with 5-10k , u will be really really really wealthy within 3-5 years.

3775 should be next target after 3750. then 3780. good areas for short scalps of 7-10 pips.

otherwise decrease lotsize and take longs towards called levels with bigger sl.

Nice, it looks solid, but neither dukas or MT4 has 2H chart, I can immagine the candle looking the 1H, I guess it's the same.

Besides that, at what GMT hour do you start trading?
