Right, right.

I can't help to, a little bit...but would have to see what is going on with the candles and ATR when we get there. I kind of use ATR as a bit of an elastic band.
lets c if i can pull a double humpper out my ass tonight then sub 2962 this week
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

mate.. until the election i think this is what we are going to see more often. Up and down... no much of big surprises..
Hope so. Been playing pretty nice of late.

I closed all my long EUR positions @ 3091. I was expecting 30100, and with the reason I didnt went short on obvious..resistance level @ 3100-3120. I didnt add on GOLD too today.. we came very close to my level.. but naah.. I am still in same position there.

The EUR move was in the chart.. we discussed today.. but not with that intensity. What we saw is what bring memories from all crises back from Lehman times.. sometimes we learn.. sometimes we dont.. anyway.. here some of my posts..
Well done on the EU longs, mate!

Agreed on the analysis, too...but I had myself convinced that we were going to get an epic stop-hunt through 1.30. Longs close shop...people jump in short...THEN straight back up. Probably would have played it a little differently if I was awake, but an alarm went off and I made my play with a bit of a sleepy head...and returned to the land of Nod.

Gold and AU performance on the day prevents me from having a single regret on how I played. New day...we'll see if I can make some regrets...or some more green!

Sounds doable to me. 1.30...big line in the sand, as has been witnessed, and discussed by a few. If it goes, 2962's bell will be rung pretty quick, me thinks.

Oh...you meant Bollingers specifically. Right, right...don't use them myself either...didn't notice them on the chart even. I meant a kind of "imaginary" elastic band. Stretched ATR...exhausted candle...whammo!

Shit, I really hate my job

Not that the work's bad it's my direct superior. My role is entry level and very clerical. The CEO has been letting me sit in on conference calls where they go over technical and fundamental and order flow analysis with guys from all over the world. I was allowed to sit in on these so they could groom me for a spot in "that" division.

My superior has been in "this" dept for 10+ years and never was allowed to attend these conferences and is extremely bitter. I am assigned difficult/impossible tasks with zero advice or training and then torn apart in front of a dozen people when I make an inevitable mistake. I swear this superior is doing whatever she can to get me sacked. I could go on and on but seriously I'm looking for a plan B.

Arch nemesis holding me back, convinced the CEO to not let me in the meetings till down the road, and in the mean time doing everything she can to make me fuck up.

Now, she's loading me down so I have to stay late intentionally and leaving out very important info that inevitably will cause me to fuck up and stay longer.

Gotta get out of there. I just want a simple 9-5 so I can pay down debt and focus on my own trading, while having time outside of work to be a human.

Sorry for venting but this is as good a place as any, considering I've recently moved and have very few friends in the area

And I swear to god if I hear one more intern say that they are going to try to lead the forex fund for their local university (trading 10/20 ema crossovers nonetheless) I'm going to beat someones ass

Not like me to be aggressive, but I feel like I'm backed in a corner

yeah mate.. 4h in Bullish Divergence.. and surly enough hit 50ema.. one of the possible target..

3180-190 it is possible today, but if we close above today.. then we may think on some reversal..
but, if we get rejection from those levels.. then .. business as usual..

rejections.. from strong S/R sending EUR to 4h/daily Hilo/s to test the opposite.. so.. 1.310 was the 4h level, we closed above.. next one is daily @ 3180-190.

nothing spectacular on sight, except of some scalping in asia.. so far..

Nice brother...thx for heads up.

Big old flag holding, but wouldn't be surprised to see Asia bring her down a little closer to where they left it...toward Pivot, anyway. Will hold short for now...and watch for long op toward Frankie and London.
