With you on this short.. what a boring day. I'm almost thinking it's going to run up again for more sellers to get on board, what do you think?

That could be a good possibility. We may see 1.4280 area.I will hold tonight and see what she looks like around London open.

Nice. I got so bored today that I even ventured into what I call the slums of Forex Factory, known to others as the Cable and EURUSD threads

I wouldn't recommend it - not nice places to be.

Yeah I drop in those every now and then but never been able to get a lot out of it. All they want to do is bitch at people that are of the opposite opinion.

That was a great trade man That one just missed me by 3 pips as I was waiting for 4147 Very nice clear cut support and resistance line together with 200ema for those of us who use that on 1h, all that along with a 168 extension and a 50 fib retrace. Cant go wrong with a trade off an area like that!

Im currently holding a short on the euro now from 4228 after london close. id be happy if it tumbles down to 4200.

Edit: Ops! Forgot about the FOMC, ended in a swift BE. I could post a chart of the trade but I just noticed we got 3000 attachments exactly on the thread, so I dont have the momentum it would take to break through such a strong round number

Trade what you see and NOT what you expect is my first thought before entering a trade. This mentality has helped me trade the market for what it is. We don't know where it's going, only where it's been. I use key setups and take trades without any emotion attached.
Thank you for sharing your experiential advice- I found it insightful and helpful to hear from a fellow forex trader. Keep up the great work and Keep Trading!
