Also took an EU long at about the same time as the AU short.

Closed it out at 10 and 15 pips.

I will be waiting for FF and London now.

Hey Rufus,

I took the EU long as well after I saw a 4H bullish reversal formation at the trend line. Its not doing much at the moment, Im 10 pips down. Im wondering where you would get out if it went the wrong way. Would you let it run until it hits the stop or close it if you get some bearish reversal pattern?

Cheers!
I pity the fool who trades against the trend!!! Sucker!!!
Ouch! I got stopped out for 15 pips after the the ecb meeting. Why do I always disregard the news, I know I should check but I didnt.

Hi Roguepipper

Last night was tough on me. EU was flying through zones I had laid out with just enough PA for me to enter. But I think there was a lot of "Setting-up" for today's news.

I just had my head on wrong...I was hyper-focused on the 5m chart and way to tired to think straight. My nemesis is lack of sleep. Right now I am considering a much shorter trading time for me until the work load I have is whittled down.

Anyway trade safe...I am off to the bathroom remodel from hell. Hopefully finish today

LOL!

My father came down for a visit this past week, we went hiking the Pennsylvania grand canyon and kayaking . Other then that just working on trading and keeping my 2 ginormous gardens weeded .

I think I finally have it ingrained in my psyche that risking more than 5 % per trade and using a tiny SL just isn't going to work for me. I've known this since I've started trading but for some pathetic reason I kept thinking that eventually I would score a thunder run and flip like 500 into 500,000....

Since I've replaced that futile ideology with a more plausible one thing's appear to be magically falling into place although the result's are a bit preliminary .

Good to hear from you.

I was watching the EU and EJ today for a entry and things just went haywire...Felt like I was watching a ping pong match, dogs started fighting in the front yard, phone started ringing off the hook, people knocking at the front door, wife needing help with stuff. I shut down the computer took care of the crap and spent the next hour hanging with my horse Buddy. So a good evening after all.

Keeping yourself busy?

I just got a call at home from a fellow teacher asking me what I'm going to be doing with all my free time this summer. It just hit me like a ton of bricks. ALL i'm going to do is trader and work the bar. That's right, I get to spend the summer being a full time trade, I'm so excited. Oh, the hard life of a gym teacher.

erikte,

Are you a fellow resident of the great keystone state?

Hope all have a great weekend! I'm off to finish my deck so I can BarBQ properly this summer.

Damn.....Now I am jealous

Interesting day today.......

Massive bathroom remodel I have spoken of....Rotted floor, three walls replaced.

Long story short. A domestic disturbance started in the home where I was doing this work. The wife called the cops and there was a knife involved (So was said anyway..No one hurt) My employee and I got out of the house to wait for the cops and started loading my tools in the truck. The cops showed up and pulled a gun towards me. They were looking for a big guy with a blue shirt. I am 6'-6" and 245 lbs. Guess what color shirt I had on............BLUE.

Eventful afternoon. We finished installing the toilet, which was all that was left. I drove straight to the store and bought a 6 pack of beer and downed two before pausing for the third. All I wanted to do was get this bathroom done and go home....I am here.

I am looking forward to a great weekend.

Hi Rufus,

I'm trying to get a better feel for supply/demand zones.

On your 4H chart from post #1610, why do you like the swing lows labelled as 'Demand' better than the ones in between?

I've watched most of Sam Seiden's webinars, but I still have difficulty in guessing which S/D zones have the greatest chance of turning price.

Thanks

Hi Bparks

I understand your question.

I think this gets into how people like to look at charts.

For me....On a 4h chart I like to pick the most significant turning points.

Then I will have a 1h chart doing the same, then 15m. What then happens is that the "zones" you have marked out then start showing up on lower time frames.

So I am aware of them but on a different chart. Usually 1h and lower S/D zones I will stay with the trend. But be aware of the "Mini zones" for possibly profit taking or just to be watchful of them, to get out of the position if things star going against me if I am looking for a larger run.

Hope this helps

Nice problem to have. I am sitting on 250 pip profit on the EU...Hold for more to get to my targets further south? Take off all? Take off part?


Chart is interesting.. At the 113 fib extension profit taking occurred...Price is stalled at the 161.8.
