@ drzeepfx

This is the chart template - the bars at the bottom are MTF Forex Freedom bars (which are based on the CCI - when all the TF's are the same indicates a strong trend) I changed the TF 60min, 240min, 1440min and 10080min - just lets me see the trend in the different TF.

The SS I was using I purchased from Craig Harris and it is copyrighted. So I placed the standard SS on the chart - but I was trying out 12,3,3 which is on the chart.

I've had 2 shorts & a long (couple of hours ago) on A/U. All have been stopped out... I was convinced it was continuing down, then got the spike up on Monday, then decided it was turning up. Now I know I don't know!

It seems to be at a long term support level and could just range for a while. A few other pairs seem to be in a similar situation.

Hi Oz,

I switched from the short EJ when it turned white to the long AU just to see it switch back.

I would have been better to wait for the EJ to close because it closed red then I would have cleaned up.

Although the AU daily HA candle was green you have got to be very careful buying in a strong downtrend. Yes the downtrend was over done but the probabilities are stacked against you.

There where a number of trades on offer today and the yen pairs where in there, they would have all netted decent pips. Daily 20 candle RED and with downtrend. 1HR stoch OB @ 9am GMT.

GU was the one I took which was just perfect too off the 100ma.

Yep, I did exactly the same.
Don't ask me, I have no idea what's going on.

You are right about the Rangeing ..... its widespread - but you have to feel that when direction breaks we are in for a long ride......

I have been shy about shorting here because this tremendous slide has to correct in a big way at some point, right?
On the other hand the bad news and numbers out of the Euro zone seem almost bottomless.

I have taken my first position (hoping to take more HB style)

sell 1.2465 SL 1.2519

Good luck today....

I'm seeing Daily red still but the trend seems to be slowing.

The GU just turned red but I think there might be some choppy waters ahead.

Hey Vinze....I would avoid trading the eur/aud right now..... The euro and the aud are both falling strongly against the dollar leaving them pitched against each other....so if anything the eur/aud could only be range traded.... just some correlation basics...but just my humble opinion....

Good Luck anyway......

Some nice moves in the last few hours vs. USD, JPY, CHF. All seem consistent with fundamental issues while breaking through support. I have small short trades on AU, AC, NU, AJ. Woke up this morning to some nice profits, better than early in the week... Weekly charts on EUR and GBP are looking very negative. Hope you managed to catch some pips.

Hello Oz, I still have my 2 EUR/USD shorts running - HB would be so proud.
I will add a third when I get home if the conditions are there. Will screen shot when I get a chance.

Took a 3rd short SL of 45 - based on the chart (We are up 150+ PIPs right now)

Moved the SL on the first to profit 50
Moved the SL on the second to break even.
