@solsys:

It is not my intention to dissuade anyone from trading their plan - I'm a long term trader. So I'm in my short for the long haul.

When I say 1.2880 will go - it will go, but Im not saying dont buy the EUR if your trading plan says to buy it - Im not a scalper.

I hope I have cleared the air on why I say its going to go.

Why do you see a major reversal at 1.2802?

Respectfully,
HDA
I just used mathematics with swing highs and lows. So, I took the swing high on the M5 chart on 5-11-12, which was 1.2943 then subtracted that from the swing low of 1.2904, which gave me 0.0039. Then I took 0.0039 and times (X) it by 2.618 (Golden Ratio, squared). And that gave me 0.0102102. Then I added that number to the swing high, which gave me 1.3045 for the next possible reversal point, if and when price traveled north from there. Then I took the swing low and subtracted it from 0.0102102, which gave me the 1.2802, for the next possible reversal point if and when price went south.

1.2760 area I think could be real key.

I will not Long this one this week no matter what.

Maybe just look for some nice spikes and then look for a signal on the 15 M chart to short. I find the wicks to be reliable.
Same here. Not touching it this week. Just watching and observing while taking notes.

That's alot of maths - WoW! Listen, rule of thumb without all that maths - The Psychological Level in trading is always at 00

1.2900
1.2800

2600 should be the obvious target, though i'm thinking much lower. 1 step at a time.

Right. The Psychological level never changes, but it sure does mess with the head. That's the part of trading that I have to overcome. It's very powerful.

@PKIMNYC:

You mentioned it earlier about where to target, but you never stated the price, but you did say the low and I hoped everyone understood what you meant - but yes 2600

Support is at 2625 but I wanna get out at 2650 - Im cool with that.

That is what I am doing with the AUD/USD for this week.

I a m a firm believer that one makes their best trades when adopting the mindset you stated above.

I have been sitting out this one for awhile. When it became obvious that 1.3470 area was not going to be hit again for a spell I just stayed away from this one.

Whats the hurry?

But, this week I am going to be looking for slowly entering a short position for a relatively long term.

If it gets up anywhere near 1.3170 or in the neighborhood I will not be slowly entering. I do not think it will get up there this week.

@ForExtraPips:

Which is why I've been saying, if you gave a trader the perfect plan, he/she would not be able to trade it successfully because of the psychology that is involved in trading that particular plan.

That's the way I'm starting to trade. Longer term. None of this short time stuff. Find the right entry and let it go, without the psych stuff messing with my head. Just like "if" I would have went short at the First of this Month. How much I would have made. No more of that mind game stuff. Just plan my trade, then trade my plan. Taking notes, keeping a journal really helps. GL

I have always taken notes but until the beginning of this year I never have kept a journal. It is a weekly journal. It has helped my trading.

If for some reason, I had family obligations to meet for instance, I feel completely lost on how the 7 Pairs that I follow, if I have not made my weekend journal entries not only for the coming week but to recap ( in red) what I wrote the earlier week.

This is a great; habit, for lack of a better term, that all traders should employ especially those just starting out.
