not even a tick below 1.3000 ?

I got stopped out on S&P on a few pips for -25..

but up on EU. these short trades on long breaks work out well.

2872 ish.. the early low wide open?

pick the entry.. "thinking 3115/16" but i have never been here before. i try never to sell a fresh bottom w/o a 100 pip pullback min. but we have never faced this before. so who knows if or when a pullback will happen..

Thanks,

Well... any direction from here is hard to say...
Neither have I built equity by playing the guessing game...
I always enter late and take profit too early...

BUT: I would be s u r pr i s e d if we went a lot down from here...
COT was done today also... bigger players might start buying some...

but...but..

Exactly. I always let price lead the way too... I just hate retrace plays. They are never smooth. Forming the flags on the 4h/D1... takes like 2-3 days and it rarely will go past the open of the last bear candle (the current one being made).

There are better pairs out there than this turd. I particularly like a/j, nzd/usd, cad/jpy etc...

hehe. I remember my first trade on nzd... didn't realize the power of stops and spreads at that time.

I didn't want those 50 pips anyways... LOL

Spreads are not that bad.. 4 pips on daily/h4 should be OK.

Just look at it, beautiful. Bearish bar on top off that ema, smooth and tidy. Where do you think it's going?

Yeah, now I'm thinking I got it confused with something else. I am showing a 6 pip spread... spreads dont really bother me anymore... but something I had in there was a massive spread (that wasn't gold).

Gah my memory is shit. I'll dig around some, see if I can find it. It was on my old broker... from over a year ago.

I know, it's one of the nzd one(gbp/nzd maybe). I hid all the nasty ones from the list...

How a pair should behave. It never looked back from almost all those engulfings. Bullish ones, I can count two that would screw you but that's because the trend is down.
