PT can I ask u what platform u use to have such a range of colors ?
Seems like an ordinary MT4 to me. There is a plethora of colours. Hmmm, plethora, what a nice word.

Might be stupid, but on the M1 chart I see a clear difference in volume in favor of bullish candles, something like twice or so, compared to the bearish ones. Does that means that there are more buyers than sellers at this moment?

Sorry if this sounds stupid.

Ok, I may be stupid, but I didnt exactly get the point of decoupling of EUR/USD from Dow. Did you wanted to point out the fact, that it is intervention in the currency market and has nothing to do with capital flows in equity market, therefore - ECB strikes again?

Btw, I really prefered that Big Foot version .

I am writing it off as an anomaly. It was probably a EuroZone bank liquidating some more US assets... or maybe Mercedes-Benz repatriated some US funds from America. Hard to say. Either way it was temporary so nothing to worry about.

Oh wait... I think Berlusconi paid off one of his Bunga Bunga girls in USD and she went to the bank to exchange them to Euros

All depends when you saw it. Right now there are more buyers than sellers as US equity futures are very slowly pushing a bit upwards. In M1 you only get a micro view so it means nothing in the bigger picture.

So, that was truly the meaning of those bars, thanks for shedding the light on this one. I'm learning each and every day from this thread and your efforts are highly appreciated.

No need to sorry Michael. And yes, but only partially, because those bullish candles can be lesser than bearish . But generally, if it goes up, there are more buyers, if down, more sellers.

For these basic stuff, I suggest you check www.babypips.com It is a great site for overall information and I am going there as well from time to time, because it keeps information compressed. And it is also funny, which i like.

Thanks, Tom, appreciated. I went through the babypips school as well and also read a few books (Astro Cycles and Trade What You See, by Larry Pesavento, among others) but when it comes to really put it to work, I can always use some advice from people who are more experienced than I am.

I see a M1 candle being bullish even if it's a red doji, it means to me that it was more pressure upwards than downwards. That's because of the smaller timeframe. Usually, a red doji means there is a downwards pressure (starting with M5, M15, etc). It is my personal observation, I don't think Steve Nison will agree to that

Speaking of dad being gone, it seems to me that it's much simpler to run any speculative tricks on EURUSD on the Asian session, especially since the volumes are small and you could do a lot more with a lot less. If I would be one of the "deep pocket" guys, I'd put my tricks when everybody is asleep, so to speak

Thanks, Tom, appreciated. I went through...
No, he probably wouldnt. But he aint trading, or is he? Anyway, this thread is really great place to learn. There are many experienced traders here sharing their knowledge.

Not me, I am not skilled, just theoretical stuffing his head with more and more knowledge.

But lots of guys here are helpfull and we discuss fundamentals here a lot, so it is very usefull.

Regarding m1 charts, I use them only to place trades. I see candle patterns there as absolutely useless. Candle patterns have some value for me from h1 timeframe above. But well, you can look at series of candle patterns and 12x 5m create one H1, so it is probably possible to use em some way.

Yes, I was thinking about this topic and I think the same. I think someone intervenes regularly strenghtening EUR during Asian session and I think this someone is China, as EU is their main exporting partner, so they need stable Europe and strong EUR. But thats just a speculation.

Might be as well be true... On the other hand, isn't a weak EUR a very good thing for the European exports? And by European I mean German (I don't have numbers, but I don't think the rest of EuroZone is doing as well as Germany). I mean, politically they'll pretend to want to strengthen it, but economically, they need it weak. Is there a flaw in my rationale?

Are you guys making a theory there will be a bump up during Asia session tonight?

No, I agree 100% with this...its smoke in mirrors. In fact, the bigger issue is the US wants a weaker Dollar as well. So who can hurt their currency quick enough without making it appear to be so obvious. Exports are the only thing keeping the US economy afloat. If you see the Euro tank, the Dollar rises, US economy falls into worst case scenario...again, this is just my opinion which is not saying much!
