Wouldn't be surprised if it hits 1.3732

Quoting Venice
Lets see if we breach 3698 for a new high. It's having a bit of a time with 70.

Yeah it is. The algorithm isn't biting yet; staying short in spite of the bounce.

That's all I'm doing with EUR, too. It's the only thing that makes sense: follow the price as the signal informs you to trade it. No one can out-guess or anticipate lunatics.
not to mention the germfran. will lose credit ratings in this bs they disguise
code word for printing.
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

No fear, brotha! hehe. I don't like the highs personally, but even if we are starting a new uptrend... the bottom half needs to hold its ground now. It's never a straight move. I'd say 3400 is still easily in the path...

i love you too guys

Looking at your chart and saying I assume you are aiming for 3-400 pips minimum? or days...


most traders in here arent in it for that long...
when 1.3500 went it was obvious for extension... a good amount more...

No, nowhere near. Those blue lines are very fast triggers (look on the left). It nearly turned here at 50; if it had spent another minute or so, it would have rolled back long. And now if it doesn't see 53 or so in the next few minutes, it'll roll back long in here.

The thing is, it hates congested ("S&R") areas, and is programmed to not be too rigid in opinion at them.

Still short at the top of the hour (14ET).

A 288-1M ema has been breached twice to downside now. That rarely happens without at least a little excursion attending it.

But I'm glad I'm not making these calls myself; I'm losing patience with it and would probably trade it long right now. Which would be a real short signal, of course.

Good thing, there's no contract in me to trade.

Who's trading this right now, anyway; I just remembered the holiday. A at-market couple million could probably move it 5 pips.

Above 3656 should give 1.37

Is very thin across the board. Volume in equities has evaporated since London closed. Just according to FF liquidity is 60% below average...whatever that means as I don't know how they calculate...

When I first started, they used to be a guy in the pit that would fade me blindly...he did well for a while, until I lassoed a nice low in the Nat Gas one time...he gave it all back on that one....bastard...
