Are we seeing a continuation pattern setting up, as seen on the hourly EU chart.

The longer term daily chart I would be expecting some sort of pullback to resistance area.

It looks like it. I wouldnt be surprised if it made its way to 1.4 again. It dropped down nearly 1000 pips without any retrace. And there are a lot of rumors floating around about the French bank downgrades and Greece getting out of the Euro. If those come true, then I wouldnt be surprised if it made its way to 1.2. The US session seems to be the toughest to trade these days especially on lower time frames.

Ya there was bound to be some sort of rally no doubt about that, just a matter of when and how far.

Definately a bit of a mess over in the Eurozone at the moment that is for sure. Can be good for the traders though if it can push some nice moves out of the market.

I would be careful of the Yen pairs also, there is talk about BOJ intervening again as they believe the Yen is getting too strong.

Got a little lucky with this one I think, short EU 5 min for +28 pips.

Got the BE in pretty quickly just in case.

I dont trade Jpy and Chf at all. There is too much noise in the market with these pairs and the spreads on some of them are ridiculous too.

I only do the EJ and GJ on daily and 4 hourly although I cant remember the last time I took a position on GJ.

Also monitor EURCHF and USDCHF on the longer terms, but I am going to take those off and replace with 2 different ones just havent got around to it yet.

Couldnt resist it. With a tight stop went long on Aud/ Usd. Will monitor the trade to see how it develops very closely. The reason is price didnt even try to go below the NY roll.

Hi Guys,

Not much really presenting itself for me on Daily or 4 hourly first thing this morning.

Bit hard to even say what way price may go from here, wether we are going to see some bullish moves or continuation, may very well be a few indecision days while the market pauses after the large move down.

Guess all we can do is sit and watch and let price tell the story.

I hear what you are saying. My long just went near my SL 3.8 pips i think.I might close it at BE if the price reaches there.The markets went nuts at the end of trading today when the Italian news came out. If that comes true the chinese will try to push the market up when they come to play.

NBA, it is the one that FXCM provides with their trading software. I just use this as I dont draw too many lines and it works for me. I dont know what they have for demo.
The candles do close at NY and it works perfectly for me.

I just use the 200 ema to see the trend. Especially in a day like todays NY session. Buy above sell below. I dont really use it to trigger a trade. But I have seen that it works really well in longer time frames like daily as support or resistance.

I was cooking dinner so didnt get a chance to post. I went long on Aud Usd again at 1.0304. Got out at 1.0338. Made back my money plus some from the bad trade I took last.
