yeah.. i see the potential in the gbp.. im not shorting now.. until i get a sign. the gbp and the euro can alter my view with a LL.. but the gbp has already spoke to me w/o a LL.. i am just hoping it gives me a good entry. nothing to do but wait.. i see 200+ on the gbp.. i dont know what that will do to the eu.. im gonna peek at the eur/gbp cross.

Well the R:R there is super easy....30 pip SL from 3035....Ill take that all day long.....good for 150 pips up easy

eg sitting near tested support. it may bounce to from a db.. or break south in a huge epic move.. 3o0 pips on the eg is a bunch

if the euro hits 3035.. then 5812/27 in the gbp has a 225 pip target from 5827... i like 225 better. we can short therm after *L* im with you on stretching those entries as far as possible..

more than likely we are not gonna get a chance to get too much of a pullback to short the EU ... Id be friggan ecstatic to see a bounce to 3120 for a continuation... but anything north of 3100 will have me slappin in some shorts...

Retail is still 70% short on the euro. The big boys need to run these guys over before they drop it again.

Nice. So the question is, which is a better contrarian indicator... oanda? Or myfxbook? myfxbook is a collection of multiple brokers... however, I also throw in the bit that I would say, losing accounts are more likely to be unplugged then winning accounts on myfxbook.

No doubt... but with the ferocity they pulled it off the highs on friday.... it would cost a shitload to run price way the fuck back up there....

besides even if most people are short... they are holding onto shorts from sub 2800 probably mostly...lol

i cant really laugh to much though... i strangled my accnt with one of those from the 2600's for awhile

not a full position.. will add if its available lower. long the gbp 5846 with a 6053 target..
still better then a normal 5869 entry.

Aussie? I'm ready for longs here without a new LL in place (daily).

Although, we could still drop down to 1.02900 or maybe 50 pips lower without invalidating.
