Asia has actually been pretty decent this week. I guess I should be happy with what it has provided so far... tonight, time to drink more beer and just watch
you seen any patterns this week? eg. times for counter trends or reversals etc...

Btw, I did say "most of the time..."

Only thing that is keeping me bearish on this pair right now is the inability to pierce supply from Jan '10. The current PA tends to suggest supply consumption, but the candle wicks are so little that can be said with a grain of salt.

Over the last three days... if we actually were making slightly higher highs that would reinforce the bear (bear wedge), but rather, it is hitting a pretty heavy ceiling, which makes me more inclined to think ascending triangle. Except, yesterday's candle we managed to completely smash the would-be lower trend line that forms as part of those.

I personally feel like any play that isn't scalping is a throw of the dice. Nothing is clear to me.

Definitely watch for reaction at the highs.

Yup, this will be an excellent r:r if you are short biased. But I have very little confidence right now.

Maybe i'll throw a .01 lot on just for funzies. lol

yeah they're similar chart patterns, but seen them break in both directions in the past... don't you use period separators on your chart? easier to see if those patterns are taking place at similar times of the day...

incidentally by pattern, I meant is there a pattern to the times of night when trends and counter trends occur during asia?

Ah, hehe

Nope, nothing consistent, other then Asia absolutely loving the DPP. Even still, I have seen it respected, disrespected, and not touched.

The only thing consistent is there is around a 75-80% chance of the DPP being hit from daily open.

Problem with Asia, it's so low volume, you never know who is manipulating it and what their biased agenda is.

EURJPY has a bit more motion in it pips wisw today.....Asian session is nomrally very conservative / non-trend setting.

I like to try and use asia to setup my longer trades, buy early and when London New York start oscillating less likely to get stopped out by a spike.

Oh, and Asia loves to do these fakeout's out of consolidation, like what just happened. That just reinforced my short bias a little more.

Aussie is my arch enemy... I have a real hard time with it's PA for some reason... but can't stay away from it. I should have just joined in on the bandwagon of buy the aussie no matter what last month... lol.

Good news? Send it! Bulls all the way!
Bad news? No problem, we'll go down just to completely engulf upwards!
