took a loss then reentered again short for about $8/$9 dollars...glad I did take profit there...up forty dollars...what a joke.

I'll have to take a look at dow...just have NQ and TF on the charts now. I'll get back to you on it.

Trying to get short AUDchf right now.

How's that for fun with geometry...whether it means anything is anthother story...I'd be looking at quartile resistance if anything temporarily...the time projection stuff was just for fun...hope you like it.

Quoting Kas1
Holding on to that eu/ca long since I haven't seen price move into a different cycle zone. Shorted eu/au, saw some good increases in volatility on down bars through support.
Closed eu/ca long in profit and went short. Saw price shift into a new cycle zone on eu/au, stop moved to b/e. Overall b/e this week.

Hope you caught some of these two entries...missed out because I was at the day the job... 1.318 on nose... 1st retest of 1.5714 would have needed a 25/30 pip stop or 2nd retest would have been near perfect.

I'm short EU from lunch today and long CHF from tonight...looking for some follow through this evening.

1750 even key level in gold...

Markets still pulling back would expect some profit taking/selling coming in soon. Would look to fade any move in the direction of the trend on the first day of the month...typical to establish a high or low, ie EU high, usdCHF low, DX low.

Futures: CL, 6E, NQ, TF, GC, DX

Forex: AU, GU, EU, NZD, CHF, CAD

Hi Bay, nice pivots

So I went over my results from last week, b/e and noticed that 60% of my trades that got stopped out end up going to my target, 2 to 1 reward to risk. This made me decide to experiment with entering where I would normally place my stop. If I had only taken trades like that last week, would of been up around 2.75% risking .25% each trade.

thanks for the thumbs up...kinda chicken shitted out on my longs and took them out way to early. Looking at this quartile resistance to hold price at the moment in the EU.
