I think it will install somewhere near 1.3500 until NY Open. After that, big dogs will decide where to take it or how deep to dump it.

I play very close to the weekly's..... I have found a much better RR at those points...as well as a higher % retrace at those intervals .... FWIW

But who knows. After today there are alot of variables. Major sigma event today. Best of luck to the poor assholes trying to Trade price action and Techies lately.
scalping way down on the fruitfly time frames where i live the pa is still somewhat normal if not predictable. my wetdream is a stairstep bullflag series back up to 1.4+ by year-end.

so on m5 e/u we have a wavechannel from 1.343 to 1.345 roughly, I am scalping long at .1% of account per pip risked. lock in some profit every time if only a few pips and its worthwhile, keep the topside open for the breakout. catch just one of them and it can make a month..

Its pretty much just like fishing, only not as much fun.

Strategy.... I have simplified mine....pla close to the weekly's....close out winners early.... and that feeling of "hmmmm..... its gonna run against me.....nah...Ill be fine" when I get that feeling I listen to it.....other ones that are really important....

typically...a quick knifing move within the last 15 min of the hour will reverse for the next 20 min of the new hour.....also a good time to close if u are already in a position

looking at some charts.. i got a pending on the gbp/chf. at 1.4275... stop at 60..
i have a broke a tl and is playing around it. it has already completed 1/2 a formation.. so i am setting entry looking for a L bounce. to st target 1.4731.
there is a valid LT target at 1.7428
st target about 450 pips Lt one 3000
atm at 1.4337.. i don't know of it will come to me or not. there is a fib at 4268
4271 is probably protected. if awake i make take a higher entry.. 4275 is cutting it close. r/r is decent. and we got a trend since august that has broken a upper tl since june 2010

We broke to the topside of a LTL around 3360....I had thought it would have provided resistance...but now support?

Cloggie has made himself into a cornerstone of this site.

I just checked and he is def back in full force, raging on inexperienced traders who are in way too deep.

e/u in 1.4's is def doable. If the eu heads hatch a credible plan for "crisis" stabilization it could be on us b4 xmas. And that is an egg that just has to be hatched.

"don't fight the fed" is now "don't fight the fed and all the other cb's". it's basically the bond vigilantes against everybody else. Nobody wants to see the equivalent of economic Armageddon that would ensue if the EMU were to come apart. Nobody wants to see the stock markets crash. and nobody that matters wants to see a strong usd.

it will be a fun new game if the ecb slashes rates down to 0.5 or less - whole new ball game. just my uneducated take...
