Get this man a prize.

I like the looks of this. Dont let this move intimidate you, we had a very slow session today. Asia is now picking up the slack.

Too much weakness in the background for me ATM... I hate these early Asain moves as one never knows what to trust.

funny thing i saw the same setup before opening the thread and made the same trade as u did,i knew it was a low probability trade couse thats the way they do it usualy when u think this is a bottom they pull it down once or twice again,now im thinking the best way to do this is to wait for the base to form ,let the price drift up then come down and enter on no demand or a test that gets confirmed

Took this quick short for net 18 pips after spread off the ND/Test off the 1hr trigger level from Friday... weakness in the background ATM. Still looking for a long set-up for some more upside movement later today around LO.

Later in the day I would switch to 15min and watch for PA to react around PAL to get out of second and third lots... this early though it's just a quick in and out with one lot.

if this doesnt form a base around 1.3600,then i wouldnt be suprised to see fall to 1.3550

All of the 15min bars have been closing of their lows... buyers or absorbtion of demand.... or is it just one of those false Asian break outs. Off to bed and will get back up at 3AM to see where we stand 1hr before LO.

Looks like I got out too early... It really sucks when Asia has already moved the pair over 50% of the ATR... doesnt leave much for LO and US other than to bring it back up... or a 200+ pip day.

Daily E/U is NS bar. So this is definitely shake out, may be some news coming tomorrow and SM's are accumulating.

yes, but if frank meant a NS, the set up is invalid and he shouldn t have taken this trade..

yeah, for sure frank will clarify
i believe he went long & he's way beyond the basics now, though.. so he can trade 'his' way (aggressive/conservative)

The trade may have been aggressive but I had other supporting factors like Friday's virgin POC behind me. Don't get me wrong, I was definitely wrong about the trade but I was okay with the risk.

Friday's virgin POC

I posted this in another thread, but wanted to show what I meant. This is a15m Euro futures with a daily volume histogram. If you look to the left of where price was at the time of this screen shot you can see the reddish line is Friday's volume POC which is the price that saw the most trading and when these levels go without being tested they can give some really nice bounces (most of the time lol), so that's what made me feel more comfortable about that setup.

reviewing the chart now..
'e' had a lot of volume, narrow spread... so that must be supply
'c' & 'f' had above average vol. so there must be buyers in them.. not necessarily the typical NS

i knew u had other things in mind here..
excellent chart, thanks frank!
