Shorts

Missed my pending sell by a few pips so I am having to wait to get any position of size till a retrace occurs....

Good news is: It crossed the first TP so it will be going at least to the next .618 level.

Chart:
Yellow: Is now sell zone
Dark Red: Ultimate stop (may adjust based on PA when I enter the short)
Green: TP1/2

"Outlook" negative. Nothing actually downgraded.

Whole host of negative Euro stuff going on, too. Kick in the butt may be good for US. Plenty of "positive" comments from both parties in US since announcement.

Who really knows...trade what you see!

Textbook risk averse day.

Hit and run is the name of the game when we are pushing the ADR like we are right now.

4160 would be great ending of this day. Will play it as it comes. 4200 will be fought over here. I will let them fight and join on the momentum bars.
Agreed.

I have .4160 on my charts as well

actually I have most of my attention today at aud/usd...that pair is set for a nice fall

do you trade aud cloggie?

Don't trade currencies that are not "live" during London session.

Covering for 3 for 40 avg., they all add up.
Hey Clogs,

Did everything right today except for 2 runs.

2 bulls:

a) one in the morning. I dunno wtf I was thinking.
b) the 2nd counter after news.... for some reason... I thought I would pierce the spike high... when I look back at it now... I just wanted it to pierce but had no knowledge/indicator of whether it would or not. very dumb trade.... and I was emotionally hooked on that one too until I was -10 down and I finally woke up and canned it.

interestingly, when I did make pips I didn't even have to think. I followed a plan for the news (based incidentally on one of your news calls) and it worked a treat!! 1st on the upside then on the downside! And I did as you said... remained flexible so I was able to close that long on 53 to go short at 50...bamm!

I think I'm getting a handle on my emotions for trading now. Or at least I can spot them and control them... well better control them. I'll do better next time than to to let a call go to -10 if I know I'm wrong
A pip is only worth it if you know how much you risked to earn it

It's all a big BS ponzi scheme anyways. LOL, Big boys must be tired of going long, unwinding and time to change direction.

We may get our first swing low on the daily forming a lower high. We haven't had one of those since January.

Of course the real test will be 4020.

Hey Clogs,

Did everything right today except for 2 runs....

I am always very quick getting out of trades that go nowhere, posted two here earlier that I covered for peanuts. Intraday, if a trade is not going where I think it should go within 10-15 mins, I am out. On the same token if what I think is a momentum bar does not materilise quickly, I cover too.

LEt them fight over 4200. I am still flat, not going to predict the next momentum bar, I'll trade it when I see it. 4222 is still capping this one. We are entering a tight range here, I will trade the break on a good bar.
