Yes you are right. 1.57 is right in the way. I should shut up. I'm just messing about really as I have made my pips this week and today doesn't look good for my strategy. I should shut up. Too much coffee.

See....what I meant.........
I don't trust any move - when you have profit...take it.

This hour?
I hate this as I usually just sit at charts to see how a strong profitable trade is travelling. I don't like sitting hear eating dinner watching PA.

My thinking if I just wanted to take things easier was to wait for a weekly close above 57 and strong resistance/support, off the current 50 retrace (5613 or so) then buy dips up past 5990.
I'm thinking if we close above 57 this day/week that would become a strong base again?
It just feels like it should and fits with the fib.
And above a favourite ema on the 4hour and daily.

hi mate, i notice that you're using the stop order, i think it's not a good idea to use stop order as a method of trading since usually it's placed on the support/resistance. i think it's better to use the limit order.. hope you're not offended by this.. just my opinion..

only 37% of it's 20 day atr travelled so far today, 53% of 20 week atr so far this week.

If current daily lo area is not a short trem support then the previous 1hr swing hi to 5676 and 38.2% of the move down from 5746 to today's current lo may be a short term resistance ?

All a bit muddled atm inbetween those

It seems that 5650 level will hold, that leaves this pair to penetrate 5700. as bguguen says, waiting for that to happen can be quite painful .

Well im not shy to show my account size... besides im 19 and atleast i have a mind to invest rather than spend away the 3k usd i could come up with...
3k usd is already a lot of money for someone like me who doesnt have a job and living by my father's expenses for the time being... trying my best to grow this account and perhaps one day itll start providing for my family....
but i am aware a lot of people here are a lot richer than i am, but i think the important thing to see if the account is growing or not is actually the Percentage Gain over time.... if it gains... great!
if not.. well then you're chewing up your capital regardless of the amount you invest...

BTW in forex its A LOT HARDER to trade with 1000 usd rather than an account with 100000 usd... simply because 0.01 margin requirement is somewhat proportionately larger on a 1000 usd than in a 100000 usd account...

This choppy market is great on the smaller t/f's - classic divergence plays etc and not against a strong trend - top and bottom of ranges etc... 15min and below particularly 5min and below can be very productive...but for anyone trying to take a longer term position when the market is clearly telling us that it is currently undecided about future near-term direction - possibly not so -unless they have a wide stop/are lucky or both !

Hey mate not offended at all, in fact I said just the same thing to bguegen a few pages back about my own post. I don't like stop orders at all, I prefer peaks and troughs and limits.
I just didn't want to miss the train and descending channel break, but I think I will cancel them as this was on my mind also due to current price indecision despite strong bearish pressure from last week PA and daily bearish MACD Divergence. I get the feeling if it were going to go down, it probably should have by now.
Strange bullish action late last week also got me thinking something was up (pardon the pun).

I don't think I will be trading this week. I do get the feeling there are going to be a lot of decent short term daily swing trades coming up though, as was the case in NOV, DEC and FEB, particularly if we head north again.

Thanks a lot for making my day/week easier

I think the tell was the daily close below 1.5650 on Monday. Tuesday was a bit bullish, though. Longer term longs should be very careful - and if it drops, longer term longs will close fast, so it'll drop like a rock.

Someone was on about trombone formations earlier... I think they mean megaphone. It's a classic topping out expanding triangle, but we need to revisit 1.6 or 1.61 to validate that pattern as I believe it should have 3 touches at the top - basically where the bulls take profit and give up. It also validates as an Elliot wave formation fwiw.

yups, since we currently seeing quite a pullback in swissy and eurgbp, which will bring more upside to fiber, perhaps we might have a pullback also in cable.. i'm not suggesting anything here but there's an old saying that if you're unsure, better stop trading.. but i'll take chances to long after TPed at 5645.. if that's area breaks, i'm gonna call it a week.. don't chase the price mate, always remember that, better to have missed the train rather than to be in the wrong train..
