Jazznos - You really need to shut your workstation down and take a walk. You're making the biggest mistake a trader can make -- you're letting things get personal. That is a sure way to wipe out your account. Go take a walk. Enjoy the weekend and come back again to it after you've studied your trades and figured out what you're doing wrong. The market isn't going anywhere. It'll be here when you're ready to have at it again...
LOL its cool, i was joking - i know thats that worst way you can start to think about it... Its just that my last few trades went so badly wrong that it makes you start feeling like the market is deliberately fucking with you... I was on the wrong side on a string of them, which im usually not...

I know its not of course, I was just trying to make light of it and vent at the same time...

I appreciate the advice though mate, youre 100% right, and Ive needed to do that a few times this week. Seriously its been a better week to stay out of EUR thats for sure, and as you said, thats what we all have to learn to be able to spot - when to stay the fuck out and make a distinction between WANTING to be in trade, vs SHOULD i be in this trade??

And the same advice to the rest of you currently experiencing problems. Getting whipsawed, etc. If you can't trade it just stop. There's no shame in NOT making trades. Sometimes the market is just plain untradeable. Realize that, take a break and stop whining about it, as if the market cares.
VERY good advice!

what type of time frames are you trading off of? and do you ever trade futures?
I trade intraday, for execution 1min tf but i look daily/weekly and down to 1min to give clear turning points.

I watch futures all the time but i dont trade them

After this rangeing is done, move should be significant.

Last shot for the dive before NY, if it does not break now below 1.4250, I get out all and wait for the NY session.

(FYI, get out all is keeping max 20% in my case)

4280 was always going to be a tough nut to crack tbh. Represents some quite important support.

With all the debt nonsense from Capitol Hill, the next few days represent some great opportunities to jump aboard the volatility train. Quick and nimble.

I am looking for a clean break of 4250 for the next leg. Patience.....

Once the dust has settled, I will be looking for medium term EU longs based on the Weekly TF. Max, Weekly close, downside for EU I will be expecting is 3650.
...

In order to get daily=weekly=min 200-300pips down from 4510 it should :-

1. This week close below 4350
2. Then today close below 4280.

Then next week open must open gap ~ 4250 then back 4280-4330/50 for heavy loaded ...then

if next week any daily able to close below 4080..then 3750 first before anythings below than this...if next week close below 3850..then 3350 n so on n so on.....until 1.28 where is my long term target...

so step by step is where we do....enjoy ur weekend mate

p/s: dun get suprice with spain issue again as well as german may pull out from EU...again?..mmm

If this hour closes below 1.4280(3) 2hr watchers may want to sell it.

Why do you think 1.4280 is important Zizi if you don't mind me asking?

Having an easy morning here, not much to trade from the open, so haven't bothered really. I don't trade if we don't get a break on the open, it just means ranging like mad for a while.

1.42817 is weekly high few weeks back so 80 area is really important. It has been the target for this week. That's why freaking consolidation around the price and no doubt there will be an option expiry 1.43 for NY cut (3 pm London).
