Exact same plays as yesterday, rinse and repeat.
I see. Is funny because since yesterday the longs "from" not "to" 1.405x has been the plays in my books... In any case, 1.405x is already cleaned for the ECB conference so is trading air now until the real moves...

Action coming soon and early and quick lunch after the BOE announcement ...

Both directions have been profitable in the last 2 days, the setups on the shorts were just a lot clearer and allowed for nill risk, look at my earlier chart, couldn't load them quick enough......

I am still looking at a further move down.

Well depends on the TF. The last 2 trades (in my case) rejection of H4 lows has been easy and clean too entry-wise ...obviously they haven't follow through so they has been settle with crumbs...

I ignore the H4 setups on days like this, no way are you going to beat the ADR then.

s/o.. before taking any profit.
atm it looks bearish,, and it may be.. but the h closed less then 2/10 ths of a pip bearish/ after a green day doji. ill wait for a better b/o. i may miss some. 4037 and 17 are in the way. if it were not for the green doji.. i would have another read.

Yeap. don't forget the other side as Obama/FED is on later and not only nothing has improved since QE2 ended but has gone worse....

Key levels on the euro in play that can only be broken with FA and the Puppet Master of the pair in his, one before last, farewell conference can do the trick and leave office just before the boat sinks (like the master of all times Greenspan did it before the Housing bubble burst)...

Market talks, and possibly a very near reality. With bad Q/Q and falling to met the obligations, Greece is very close for a "Drahxmatisation"

German FinMin, Reuters, and last few days mentioning the "option for voluntary exit of EURO monetary zone..

Not sure at this point is it a bad or good news for EUR.. but I guess we have to wait to see..

Don't need to. If I manage to make over 50% of the weekly range I am happy and more than 70% I consider myself lucky.... As you know the equation has 2 variables: range and size....so in the balance between both is the answer and is unique for each case...

In any case, let see what the markets give us today.

not to mention china and the swiss ect. by buying euros is actually making it harder for the piggs to survive. making the china and swiss investment a wash or negative for euro/union to remain as one. a split to a north south may solve some of it. either way banks make money in wars.
