very small pip movements. not much to be gained or lost, and even gain will take a long time. i have spread atleast 1 pip euro add some slippage not much potential with small capped movement

range 10 pip last few hrs

for longs - too late, its not low enough to long at around key resistance

for shorts - friday, it is vulnerable to quick short covering, but i still think short for a few pips is higher %
you have to wait for your entry like Egret (கொக்கு). Egret stand on one leg until fish come closer.

I agree nothing is solved and Germany along with France have their empire in Europe. However for all the doom and gloom ultimately price is what matters I am actually still long and holding with good profit once the market turns a I will also turn. The euro has been shitty since a long time. How much of this is priced in?

Long or short is of little importance, the main point is do not fight enter at a good area pre define your risk parameters and and never marry your bias. My money management plan assumes the market is completely random therefore...
Great post!!

don't know which TF you are looking at, and if it is about AU but H1 and H4 ichimoku both indicate resistance below 1.004 from Tenkan Sen; might be a good opportunit to short.

H1 is bullish TK cross from 0.99228

beginners shouldnt trade correlations at all.... focuns on a couple of pairs, switch to the higher timeframes, learn about supply/demand ... learn why markets move, learn what makes them move and learn to use levels for selling and buying with a fix target and stop.

post charts and explain your trades to get replies and comments to improve your trades.


EMAs suck.

m5 AU had a long signal (bullish TKx) 50 candles ago from 9923, current exit would be 9955.

m15 is long from 99446 but RR did not look convincing and I would only consider adding to long around 9942. just my thoughts, rarely trade AU

Not sure either, Asia has been dead a lot lately. A long would be a better choice IMO but would rather wait till DAX/London.

Stay flat is safe.

hi diseg in the long term you will be just under 50/50 taking positions in sleep mode. some will run, some will hit your SL. your broker and the market maker will win, due to the spread and slippage. your chances will be higher with valid setups in liquid/active market conditions. always think - will my habit/strategy succeed in long term. 1 trade is not the only one you make, it builds for life.
