I hate it
its all about finding something logical that works for you and sticking with it during the drawdown periods...and i think risk management that makes your maximum drawdown small will reduce stress...psychology is a big part of this business

I hear you. First you call it a game, but in the second post you called it a business. The second one is the right classification. It is real money you loose. Or win for that matter, but lately I've been off the road totally. And it went all so well before.

Back to trading: I don't like the bearish engulfing Daily candle forming on EU. Sure hope it disappears before the day is over, otherwise bad news.

I would like to show you all 2 EUR/USD charts and add some comments to them. Maybe if we all participate in some sort of analysis for next possible EUR/USD moves this could help us all.

1. 4 H chart: the price has broken up the upper TL, went up to 1.4536 and returned back to the diamond pattern. As for me - I consider this break up to 1.4536 as a false break.

What I expect now --4 touch of the diamond TL at 1.4325 area and break of this area (TL) down.

2. Weekly chart: There were 3 touches on the upper TL. The 3 touch ( and break) was this week, it broke the trendline up and ( but) returned back. This upper trendline has for me technical significance. And I donīt expect there will be another attempt to break up the upper TL this Week again.

The lower trendline has so far no technical significance at all.
Significance of this line will be until ( if ) the price gets and hit 1.4200 area.

Thatīs why I consider that we have already seen the high of the week

( Itīs my reading of these two charts and I can be totally wrong)

tomorrow is the last serious trading day of the week. it could be possible that we have seen already the weekly high....if the daily closes with this bearish pattern, it would be a confirmation of the beginning down trend...

Short would be for eu now. It didn't seems like eur will be heading up for at least. In addition, this fall is too fast with 200 pips in like few hours? Partly triggered by a useless usd news release. So im buying it down.

I'm not seeing any particular level now as I'm trading their movements. But yes it is a lower high and a lower low. With a confirmation of downward movements. So coming to dk post, today bar can trigger back the downtrend

I see a bullish continuation pattern but I would hate it to see it go down in that channel again. As you can see I bought the break of the upper downward trendline. Sorry I didn't check the Fib levels in the graph but it went to around the 50 level and a bit beyond with the long wick, so I thought what the heck, let's buy the breakout. (Next to that till 2nd of August: debt ceiling US problem. I expected a weak Dollar. ) It was all in line and still market tricks me.

I hate the way the market acts recently without any respect to the TLs Medians , not a single mounth with a trend exept the ch and nzd and i hate those pairs that have them , and im some times just gambling putting double orders up down and sticking with the direction were they go but doesnt even hold on enough in either directions .
Just couple of years ago we were trading by trends simple . But well , thats the chopy market to trade for now ,,,,.
We are clearly in a currency turmoil , and only a few rich can afford to wait till it settles down .

Sugar, like I said. News are important. But it seems like it applies to only that few specific hours of trading. After that, traders will still resume their trades as if the news wasn't there before. That's why I try to avoid major news release ar times as they could really being me to sl before resuming the directions

I guess a lot of us thought that way too , I thought it would act as in EG chopping out the TL stops then go up again but if it goes back to the down channel , well , big players did there trick again and Mr Bernanke will win more enemies .

If that happens , ill trade only gold silver nu less volatil less lots long term trades from now on hahaha

I see a great deal of institutions say that 1,433 or 1.428 will stop the descent and turn the market bullish again to go to 1,50.

Thats the tricky part , if you draw the TL on the previouse high ( may 03 to july 04 ) then you get a diferent view .

..but this correspond with that what I think...- fall to 1.4325 area,break down to ...as you have mentioned now - 1.4280 -and then up again.
