Well in 35,000 posts, there must be a holy grail in here somewhere

Hopefully some of the old-timers will check in more often. I know Pippi should be opening a live micro-account soon so hopefully he will join in more. Last time EO checked in he said he was not trading intraday. Cisco is around. Infinity....? No idea. Turtle any idea what ever happened to Infinity?
No idea bro.....

I remember something happen with a family member and didn't hear anything from him after that.

Pulled my stop on the last half to just uner the last m15 swing.
Nice LB......

I pulled mine to BE, I took some profit after the 1830 candle.

It actually worked out good because brother had to bounce.

Thought she might try to break 1.3300, but I guess not today....

But we are above those MA's.....

Enjoy the weekend everyone! Stunning weather forecast for those of you in the UK. I'm home alone with my boys as my wife's on tour in North Wales till Monday- so we'll be able to enjoy the garden for the first time this year. That is once I've cleared out all the cat shit...

Cheers Turtle! I haven't held over the weekend before but my stop is still just below that swing as I cant move it until the market opens. I was busy last night so didn't move it so not sure how the weekend open will affect it. She better not gap!

Nice trading buddy!

I know what you mean, was struggling two weeks ago.

Looks like my buy order is being threaten, I took a short from 3263, this market is coiling for a break, ready on either end.

Morning, what a wonderful weekend it turned out to be too! I picked up a tan yesterday...in March!!

Notice that EU was rejected for a third time off this 328x area last week. Worth keeping an eye on to how powerful the retrace is here. If it's weak, we could get a strong move up and a final breakout. If strong, could be the start of a fresh move south.

Looking at the Daily and weekly, my bias would still be south.

Hello Trotty. Yes the weekend was a blinder- amazing weather. Just got back from taking the boys to school, and see there was a lovely 1hr62ema (dashed orange line) bounce on on Euro off support. Missed it by 15 mins- i suppose there was news at the time, but if the signs are there...

Nice confluence with the weekly pivot. You can make quite a nice living just trading confluence bounces like that. It may not be in any way a trade in the direction of the immediate action but they will often bounce 15-30 pips like this one and that's more than enough.

Similar view here mate, either we get a decent bounce off this h1 level or the bears are in control and I will be looking to short pops up on the h1.

I've not taken anything yet, just biding my time.

Yes this hourly trendline that follows the 365ema (dashed white) will help support too. Pretty bearish start to the week though. Went long at the figure after the pinbar on 15min. Not a lot of time for posting today- have to clean the house before the wife returns or I'm dead meat!

Thanks Trotty. I'm now trying a 35/50 cross and reverse on cable, as I have a decent trendline where price stopped and would look for shorts here anyway
