last friday's SSI was -1.5. today it is smaller at -1.2
less people in the short side or more people going long than last friday.
Yes, longs are now getting stronger and I'm on the side for the moment.

As of lunch time GMT today, shorts were still stronger but as you say are weakening.
I take the FXCM data and create my own graphs/charts to judge bias over the short, medium and longer term to see how strong the overall bias is, or if it's just a knee jerk reaction.

54% were short a couple of hours ago so it will be interesting to see if longs have now carried on building, which then I will be looking for short opportunities based on supply and demand zones.

Seems you are trading FXCM SSI very religiously!
I am new to it. Still trying to understand how to apply.
From what I was told by a friend, to use it as general direction for the day (till it is updated) and use technicals for entry. For today, after the update of the data showing BUY bias, I believe it suggest to BUY near supports.. Am I correct on this?

There is no doubt that the retail traders are wrong the majority of the time and if they are right like today, I'm very skeptical they can keep it up.
Of course retail traders will be on the correct side of a pull back or retracement, but very rarely on the correct side of the overall move.
If shorts continue to build now (most likely betting on USD strength) it may be an indicator to start buying again as the correction on the H1 chart below is nearly complete.

I think I agree, my technicals are indicating a strong resistance or reversal (especially on the H1 chart). I took my 50+ pips and ran, if it breaks below 048 then we'll know and I'll re-enter. Otherwise I'm back to the loonie

Yeah, looks like it.

Sold the other 1/2 of that 2/3 position - just letting the one contract run now.... moved SL from BE+10 to BE+20 on a +53 position.

I can sleep now. haha

Bought the dip @ 1.0090. Took 2 lots there. Moved stop to BE. Going to let these run a little. A shot of good news could send us right back over 1.0300. Good trades to all!

Regards
Stopped out @ BE on my 2 0090 lots. Oh well. Another long triggered @ 1.0060. Don't have a lot of confidence in it. Market feels like it wants to go lower. I will step out of the way if 1.0050 gives way and look for a retest of 9950 area. Year end is approaching and I don't want to get into a death match right now and give back a lot of my profits. I have been prone to that mistake in years past.

Regards,

Agree on 1.0050 as important, as it relates to the near term.

It looks like 0050 is going to hold until Sydney/Tokyo at least. I dont know that I can justify a bullish uptick. even then, I think I would just sell any correction capped under 0155-0160 while hanging onto my current shorts at 1.011

great possibilty of the bear here & all usd pair, working as analysed before & using it now as signal for others .eu doing nice & may continue breaking all supports , gu , as per it's spike up & down mode , back at last but ok & great possibilty there also .
with au signal coupled with uj bull also gold down but approached cretical 1653 level likr au now but still not that cretical than gold , should be here 0.9768 around & so expecting gold also break this level .
anyway great bear in may pairs for long time perhaps .
