Jawoll ... good idea ...
PA touched resistance zone at 1.3883 as per chart of post yesterday. missed the chance to add to long position because I have to be more cautios with pending orders at the moment, with no chance to intervene manually.

Well, i like your confidence dudester
well to me, i think that hedge funds, institutions that have goldmines and piles of cash, trade based on important fundamental news, they saw that the markozy setups would make everyone else long on false hope etc. Its fundamentals that make those traders trade in my opinion. I doubt 80% of them even look at charts. They hear, they trade. They get inside info better than us, more accurate, more detailed, they trade. few bribes here and there will not get them caught lol.
you do realize that 1.5000 and...
Mass psychology would think this is bad news. Exactly why I think that either the central banks or big institutions are in on it together to reverse course.
As you know you can't trade directly on the interbank (only banks, and big players) so we would be trading directly against the enemy who can view the state of the entire market. By tripping all the stops of the small guys, the big guys can laugh and share the love while the small guys just cry to their mom.
This way the big dogs don't fight the big dogs, unless they get greedy. (you read about the billionaire hedge fund losers).
In the end aslong as you find an edge and it works, then we're all happy for you, since we are all in this together against our enemy.

Important fundamental news? Like downgrades to major EU banks being a chance to buy cheap? How about the need to restructure debt or the need for more QE? (the later might be a case for the bull since for liquidity being pumped) but still initially bearish until QE is introduced and injected.

Mostly : US data green >> Dowjones Green >> Macro Economy Good >> USD down >> Other Risky Currency UP
but sometimes when US data green >> USD green
that's fundamental ......... hard to predict

welcome here in FF :-)
Markets are most of the time not driven by news but in fact driven by sentiment/mood of the market applicants.
You need to have really really powerful news/events like rate cuts/hikes to move a market forceful in one direction or the other.
But it is very entertaining to watch the analysts interpreting the news to make them fit into the market news.
Have a nice weekend and good luck in Forex,
Markus

Basic theory is all asset catagories fall into two classes, risk on (rise on good news) and risk off (fall on bad news).
This divide is led by the USD and equities. If good news then USD down, Equities UP. If bad news, USD up, Equities down.
Risk on: oil, euro, equities, ect
Risk off: gold, USD, Yen, Bonds
Very simply, when the US stock market goes up, the Euro follows, and the USD goes down. Counter intuitive but true.
Kill the ego, or it will kill the mission.

Oh, yeah, one more thing. Just for your eyes because I know you used to like them. We have one of those imaginary "you know what's" to plug. So I'm thinking plug it and bounce off 200 MA (this is 4 hour chart) and then back up to plug the other one. I'm not trading it of course ... lol ... but let's see. Mum's the word.

I am trading it.
