waiting around a pc screen can be weary-some but try not to trade based on feeling.... Don't short into a strong rally especially without confirmation, unless you're trying to scalp 5-15pips....

looking for short opportunity is between 150-200.... starting the 5th wave

On the other-hand PA over the past 6-7 day could be a falling wedge or flag pattern which would eventually break resistance at 3200.(good news from Greece could spark this scenario)

Long since 1.3057. SL moved to 1.3117, TP to be confirmed, hope it gets to 1.3150-60 and this will be one of my best trading days in a long time, good start to the week

EU long entry is in profits now
up 60 pips
BE at 40 pips and TP still 15-20 pips (to close when gap closed)
good start to the week. already reached my 40 pip daily TP so anything above will be bonus and help compensate for any adverse action during the week

As my thinking eur can't break 1.3136 so took a short at 1.3135 , anyone agree with me here?
I'm short @ 3130, TP 3035 tight stop @ 3147

Looks like the bounce from the low is to form 15 min retracement.
Still the fibs looks like still have to go down atleast 1.3000 or 1.2980 area to complete 60 min ABC retracement from the high.

Once the price moves lower than 1.3100, will move my SL to BE
Also will keep an eye on 1.3060 area, if this uptrend is still intact, it should give some bullish signs here, then i will close my shorts at this area....

Good luck everybody

I am with you on this one - I have a short entry at 1.31353 and am targeting today's low at 1.30279 with a stop if we break above 1.32000. In this choppy market I find that tight stops are not working as they get hunted. This move to the long side is really a massive stop hunt for shorts and I am reluctant to become another victim. From a fundamental point of view there is little justification for this level of price action. I know Dr B has promised low interest rates for the next couple of years with possible QE3. However he is not offering default and in his recent testimony it was anything but default.

I've just closed for 10+ pips @ 3120 and thats me for the day, better than a kick in the balls, the price has stalled on the smaller timeframes and going off todays PA, it will reverse quickly...would rather take the 10 pips than it reverse and stop me out at BE

Very sensible. No one every blew an account or went bankrupt closing with a profit. My intention is to leave this over night and check it from time to time when I check on my children. Tomorrow morning I have other commitments and my hope is that we may head south and hit target during later part of the European session. Who knows we may get there with a single whoosh if Greece tells the rest of Europe it is not going to pay €260 billion which is owed on bonds. Certainly I don't think the Greek people want to pay and would prefer to follow the Icelandic example. Greece has elections soon and the politicians seeking re-election might just listen to the Greek people who will be asked to vote for them. After all there was a Tweet from DJFX Trader suggesting that lawyers, bankers, and others are being consulted as to the implication of a default.

I am too short. I donīt know how much is chance to deal between Greece and private creditors, but for me isnīt good still delay important decisions. I think so Greece didnīt agree with regulations and just obstruct. In Greece wiill be tomorrow big 24 hours strike and it all this will get worse.
