Added some trendlines for a clearer picture, not much happaning until we break the triangle. Lazyboy is short from the top and I'm long from the bottom- I need get covered if we reach the upper trendline.

My SL is at 62, that's 15pips for me, and just below the Daily pivot. It may be tighter than EO's recommended 35 pips for an inverted hangman/hammer, but we'll have broken out of the triangle and made a lower low if we reach it. Don't want to risk any more than that. I can always re-enter later

Morning bud. I'm flat probably for the next 15 mins at least, I don't really have a strong bias for the immediate short-term on EU but as you say, the bullish close and weak retrace does favour longs for now. Good luck with that trade

Good Morning, Trotty!
Thanks, it's a viable trade, the lower wick is a bit long on the inverted hangman, but it's in a good position with confluence. No great loss if it doesn't work.

Absolutely mate, the cost of doing business. Hopefully it shoots up though

Hi all,

I am very interested in "what we see". In my view, it is very great to trade on what we will see in upcoming hours. Every day, I think, it has pre-determined range of price for market to move as it like. I believe that currencies are like fluid. They move from high density to low density areas (set of possibilities).

Fundamentals of every country always interact in lower layer of market interactions. At higher layer, the currencies interact each other to stimulate or to seek their equilibrium price. I hope my view could be accepted. Feel free to response since I am a newbie trader. Thank you very much.

Welcome, Chancellor. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't understand what you mean!

Please feel free to contribute, but in the interest of those reading this thread, please only post relating to EO's method, and all that that involves ie price action, channels etc Fundamentals are not really useful here, great if you find they help you, but they're not appropriate to this thread

Morning Turtle, hope you're well. Yep, can't wait for the weekend. I have a fridge stocked with beer and i'm not afraid to use it

Hey, Turtle.
Got my fingers burned a little earlier, so just sitting out at the moment.

I've just added a channel I see developing on the 1 hr EURUSD- it makes for quite a few lines on the chart, but I think they're all valid.

Yeah, Euro sure stuck in a channel, the question is which way we are going, I thought it would of broke 1.3100 by now, I guess that's why anything can happen in FX.

It needs to break those last highs before I'll take a long position, which is that 4 hr "mutha" pin from earlier in the week
