Gold looks like it wants to bang around for a while....however, if we break below the $1,500 level - it is going to fall apart. A move above the $1,650 level would have it rising.......

20 mins into the match, and Greece is down 2-0 to Czech Rep. Now the keeper is being taken off.

Greece should be thrown out of the EU simply for the horrible football.

I am not even considering buying the Euro at this point. There are simply far too many unknowns at this point, and I see any move higher as an invitation to sell. But I have to ask, just like the Swede did: "What is your reasoning?"

I would like to point out, that waiting for confirmation candles completely destroys your r/r.

Don't you think it would be much better to buy where the the last red candle stopped and risk 20 or so pips? I rarely ever wait for confirmation. If you do, you need to reduce your lot size to balance out the set % risk you have for each trade.

With that being said, now that the candle has formed, you are rather close to the next supply zone up ahead, which drastically reduces the chance for a solid trade.

Edit: Attached chart showing demand/supply. Demand was derived from the 8th.

to make matters even worse, the current price is at a possible demand turned supply zone.

I know this is 'after the fact', at least to you. However, I had that demand zone drawn since last Friday. No play in the euro, as I've been slinging the Aussie lately. Regardless, watch what happens when price gets back to the supply area (if it makes it through the current demand>supply). It's going to do one of two things, hold or continue on. It is usually painfully obvious which it will do. Even if your first play is incorrect, jump on board for the opposite play when price invalidates or validates the zone.

This depends completely on the time frame you are trading on. For example, if I am trading a weekly chart and looking for a long-term move - it won't matter. If you are trading the 5 min chart - totally different story.

However, there is some wisdom in this statement. But I would state that the levels you use had better be important and will be much more likely to be successful if with the trend.

With trend is absolute if you plan on holding for multiple days, unless, of course, you know you are countering. Counters are always rough and rigid regardless.

With that being said, I do not like confirmation candles even on my daily or weekly plays. Price slides into a zone, and my risk is the top/bottom of that zone. On a confirmation candle, I may add to the order, but it will be significantly smaller. My intial zone will already be in play.

I always want the greatest reward for the smallest risk. But that's just me. It comes at a cost of being wrong more.

So really, it is more so trading style than anything. I tend to view it this way:

- no confirmation: less risk per loss, potentially wrong more
- confirmation: more risk paid per loss, but win % is much higher

Really, I just hate when you get run away confirmation candles and you have to sit the play out regardless.
