On paper, really? Funny, price seems to act this way just about every single time I trade it.

Supply and Demand, that's all there is to it. Don't need to overcomplicate things. A level is either going to hold or it is going to be blown through... watch the charts, play the reaction and trade to the next level.
Hey, if you have figured it out and you are consistently profitable then kudos to you, but in my experience there are still too many times when price will be doing something unexpected leading to some bullshit explanation the next day as to why it happened.

I guess the thing here is that your approach seems to be entirely techical whereas I am still -foolishly- trying to make some macroeconomic sense of fx moves using some fundamental analysis, which leads to the aforementioned frustration.

Your posts are funny man. I don't have a clue what are you doing but you contradict yourself very often...What don't you post a chart or some TA, FA analysis if you want to contribute and discuss otherwise it seems that you are just showing off but in a very poor way.

yes it can.

It can go to 1.42X without invalidating what you are saying - aka bear will take over.

Looking at fundamentals i really cant see it going any higher than like you say 1.41 there is divergence on daily and 8 hr chart is showing some promise

Then you are reading the charts wrong mate. Yes, their is always an unknown factor, no one can predict the future. However, we can play trades that have a high probability of being correct. I am by no means trying to be discouraging saying this... in-fact the exact opposite. I want you to walk away from this conversation knowing that yes, they can be read, and yes, you can place trades with a high probability of success.

What does it really take? Time, time, and more time. Tons of experience just sitting in front of charts. Reading, watching, and reading and watching. There is no replacement for that.

I know I have already given my fair share of accounts to the markets. Good luck mate, and keep studying. With enough time... anyone can get this stuff... but you have to go through some painful experiences first.

T - question for you .

for the most part, do you get your signals off timeframes greater than 30M, and then look for confirmation and entry levels using lower tf's and s/r levels?

cheers & thx
Yes.

There are 2 methods I have been using.
1) Top of the hourly candle. Plain H1 candles. I enter on a confirmation by the close of h1.

2) If trigger is m15 , setup needs to be 4x longer that h1. If entry is h1 h4 is setup chart.

Most of the time I have been relying on h1 candle close.
Only Pre London entries are based on m15 trying to exploit Frankie and London breakout.

hah, this is why I don't post my trades on the euro. I just come in here for the chits and chats

I trade the 5m chart when I am actually trading... So I can flip a position multiple times over the course of an hour. Just absolute noise.

  • Mar 9, 2011 11:21am Mar 9, 2011 11:21am
Yes,
So that's still a possible scenario. Beyond 1.43 the bulls will push it farther north.

I'm trading with caution atm as I expect some wide fluctuations intra day like in December and also because I'm not up to speed on all fundies.

Could that be some kind of big pennant going up to 3960-70? 3900 seems to be pretty strong support so far.

Edit: Right... Went down when I was writing this...
