Probably better than 50-50 that you'll congratulate yourself on basis of outcome, and congratulate yourself now on basis of risk aversion and being willing to admit the water was getting deeper and darker.

I am short on E/U from 1.4205 since last night.. Theres no movement and at present i am 20 pips in red.. What should b done...?
The EURUSD is in an uptrend and trying to trade against the trend is for people who are either very brave or not to smart. (no offense meant) If you learn only one rule in forex it should be that the trend is your friend.

However if you are trading against the trend you will need start small and then keep adding until you get a retrace and can take profits. I personally would not catch a falling knife as they can hurt your account, if you are not 100% up on your money management.

You should put your stop above yesterdays high and take the loss if it gets there because letting losers run is the second deadly sin in forex after over-leveraging.

Good luck
Timing is everything

I see divergence on 1h chart, could set upmfor bear run after London open.

I also suspect profit taking from this rally ahead of if not agn1.4281.


Silver and gold breaking trend and going down, shorting aud/usd at 1.0075, open target with sl at all time high.

Week has been test of 3850 support before big bull

I took my eyes off my 3800 longs yesterday and regreted it

Thankfully i recovered to get some nice long off 4050 eu and 6075 gu (called here LIVE)

next week 4250 and beyond

.
longs coming along nicely

there is a risk of it going back to confirm 3940-4000 area as support but bull is alive and strong

watch out for 4300 becoming support to target 1.45 and beyond


.
Mind over matter..I don't mind and you don't matter.

Time for correction...
Now, those are different than some percentages quoted somewhere upthread by Patience. He had Dukas clients about 55% short, and retail significantly short.

But, yeah, it's time for correction. It's time for me to be in bed, too, but here I am.

lol... You're reading it backwards.

Currently they are showing more short position holders, which is why they are suggesting long, which would be "trading against the herd".

Listening to site suggestions isn't a good idea. They're wrong a lot of the time too.

Trade your charts.

I think 1.42385 is close enough to 1.4239. Now the question is will it continue upwards?

Omg... a'rd the 3:50 mark... "smoke comin out of your mouth..."

And I'm off to bed...
I bookmarked it, to have with breakfast. Bed time for me, too, or the wife will start calling me by the milkman's name, and we don't even have a milkman.

But, for all the EUR bulls (and don't get me wrong; I'm long for reasons that go beyond understanding), look at this US Long Bond v E/D chart. Note the pretty good mirroring of movement, but of late, the E/D seems a little more detached in its climb.

So that friskiness must be due to the EUR more than the USD. And things are going very well in Europe, then?...

cheers mate

we're all good. trying get my head back into work after everything that happened the past week. it's still a lot to absorb. (we were positioned to get on a hydrofoil to Busan if the reactor blew). since I have a family and pregnant wife in tow, they're my first priority, but we are very happy we didn't have to leave.

there's a lot of rebuilding to do ...time to make some serious pips.

No it doesn't have to lol. Did you forget 2008? 800 pip move down almost with no retrace. I remembered it finally did retrace for about 150 pips or so and went down again.
