You said yesterday that you thought about taking a short on the piercing of the trendline around 1.369

Quoting PipTrapper
Which trend line are you referring to?

Hope my sell limits at .369, .370 and .371 were a good decision . Too bad I cannot change them from my work (proxy does not allow MT to get through ). So all I have is hope that in next 8 hours the get touched and the Euro will cease to grow after that

Ahh yes. That was the falling channel resistance. But that is lower today and it has been breached around the .3663 area
Now we have to see if H4 closes above or below.

ADD: H1 chart showing channel resistance breach/pierce

Yes it is the same thing. 2 parallel trendlines. One at the top of the trend (channel resistance) and one at the bottom (channel support)

and I was referring to the bearish channel as seen in the solid falling blue line on the chart.

I entered short at .3675 as chart speaks to me. Entry point determined at 5-min based on 1H chart. Hope she holds up, with the plus pips this month this will either add on or be 1st loss of month. I got out too early yesterday.

Sup peepz,

The last EU hour bar printed very high volume, compareable to the yesterday's high volume bar around this price. BUT notice that the current last hour bar did not make a new high! This is a sign of weakness approaching. Since I am done for the month, and protecting my profits, I did not take a trade, but thought to contribute. I took a trade call almost an hour ago at 1.3678 and posted the link where i called it. I would set the stop 150pips above yesterday's high, for a swing low profit taking.

Hmmm. Not closed yet... wouldn't mind a close below1.3645. But Not sure that you can expect anything before the german vote.

I'm out today and tomorrow (never trade fridays).

Nice entry PipPipPip.
I am looking for confirmation on H1 before entering. That style gets me in a bit later but with a better chance of downward momentum.

If I was just trading intraday, I wouldn't trade Mondays or Friday either.
Difference for me is that I am position building. I am already a few hundred pips in the money so if this downtrend continues without any more significant up move, the gains will be exponential. If not, I still get out in positive territory.

Probably will look into position trading more. Adding it to my list. But not until I get a firm grasp on intraday.

Fridays are just not good to trade intraday signals are not as reliable as it is on the other days, and its good to get a day off reviewing the week and updating you charts.

Now we are down hope you got your entry...

Yes I got my entry at 1.3642
A little late I know but in the greater scheme of things, 40 pips is nothing.

My SL right now is just above 1.3940
I like to be nimble.
Things are dynamic in this market so if I am rigid, I will get taken out.
Slightly higher risk profile but you cannot have significant gains without significant risk.

Perhaps in calmer markets, I will day trade, but right now position trading works best for me.

USD is gaining ground after the passing of the EFSF vote in Germany.

The EUR tried to penetrate deep into the sell zone but was met with aggressive rejection twice in the last three hours.

Is this a case of buy the rumor / Sell the news?

We shall see once NY starts trading.

Keep in mind that we have US unemployment claims and Final q/q GDP reports at 8:30am EST
Later at 10am EST we have US Pending Home Sales.

I opened a short at 1.3642 and I'm holding it.
