Really, I like close my shorts near the 1.3030-1.3050, but i donīt know. It have power to go higher. Why do you think this?
I do think this because eurusd is a swing oriented pair.
Over the past weeks i've noticed eurusd is being traded based on specific levels.
That's why i've heavily bought any move below 1,2980 and sold above 1,3170.
It needs to retrace to 1,3090 in order to go higher.
And depending how it moves, between 1,3030 and 1,3070 should be a good buying opportunity.

But it'll depends on the swings during European trade.

And do you think so 1.32 is max before slump to 1.3090?

In my book yes it is.
Any move above it would be a hell of a good opportunity short it.

But i won't trade until London opens

another good easy one - http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/AUDUSD:CUR/chart/

just change the currency to see prices.
the chart was stopped Feb.17, so it does not provide holiday prices.

It seems to have gapped up some 50 pips. The great question is whether it is going to close the gap and assuming that it will, the point at which an entry short should be made. It is still all systems go for a Greek deal so while that remains the situation, the pair may continue to the long side. However if the Ministers do not confirm their agreement to the bailout on Monday, it will be all roads south unless the market follows the Jim Rogers school of though as he said he would buy the Euro if Greace were allowed to default.

Closed EUR-USD for 30 pips-- 2lots--600$ is OK.. Would have 40 pips if closed earlier.. Take what market takes otherwise it could have taken this off as well.

Want to close EUR/CHF position also if it crosses 1.21 today(Don't wanna risk overleverage on this position) and will think about next trade later When market settle down.

Stop shorting risks forex. Buy the dip on risk crosses IMHO. They have been working since mid Dec. 2011. Be patience to buy and sell some out when there is rally. No need to keep looking at those charts and constructs..all risks move together. Follow @leopardtrader on twitter or stocktwits. I mentioned them here b4. They.ve been right for months. I am their ardent follower and I am happy. I assume some people here follow them too. We are all here to make money and post what is helpful to one another.
This market is not rational. So no need to rationalise the news. Besines b4 it becomes news..the BIG guys would have priced it in.
Happy trading all and hope you enjoyed your weekend!

I just added loptrader.. Is it somethin paid,,. He seems giving advice to members etc? Anyway I make my own traders But don't mind someone else trading ideas... I always see COT and long short ratio and try to take counter so I can have few pips.. I trade for 100-200$ per/day that is 10-20 pips which I think is certain on any pair..which I think will give me for the day.

Suprising thath OANDA works also on MT4 from Sunday. Good to know
Oanda remains open all weekend for trading. However there is next to no price action plus there is a 10 pip spread. However it is open and trades may be taken. Personally I like Oanda very much and it is the 'Ford motor car' of trading platforms - highly functional, transparent, and competitive with few bells and whistles.

Your take in this market is to make money in a consistent way. We can all learn from others to add to our own. Leopardtrader are not daytraders..they are mostly on the swing..they post trades on twitter but have far richer contents in their site

Nice, EURUSD over 1.3200. Will this be one of those days when we go up and up and up all day. US is absent today, so everything is possible.
I am expecting volatile moves today.. so I think take profit or put trailing loss..
Buy rumor and sell news possible... As someone said earlier Big players may have played this move last week.
