during asia they gave the entry. I stayed up 'til London open to see, whether they retest it. the rest is measured, more or less.
there was a beautiful divergence on smaller tf. 5 min gave the entry. 10 pips risk was more than enough.

I don't look for them, probably should.
That rise was due, wasn't it? Why would anyone deleverage risk without a catalyst?

I don't care any more about what I miss, I patiently wait... If I blink and miss an entry, I don't trade it.

yep, that's why I waited for london this morning. but as they already bought yesterday, they didn't feel the need. let stupid ny do it in the meantime they rattle and shake... just don't look at it.

ok pm

stops at 2447.. subject to change
... and after reports...H4 chart update and one more time sidelined in the euro before R.

Roll above 1.253x opens bulls trigger on daily for the swing but we have Greek election on Sunday so another crap/wild week roll on the making ...let see.

Make perfect sense. If you are in from below 1.247x and as you already booked some at 1.261x. I would definitively do the same, is worth the hold but IMHO would trail it not with tight stops but with a wide range below 1.243x as the move in play is in monthly for +/- 300 ticks and until the Greek election, there can be wild volatility.....

Obviously if you got the last break entry in H4, +/- 1.254x/3x like me, there is no point holding with wide stops....GL and let see how the rolls plays out at Resistance...

gotta do what you feel comfortable, but as for my last trade, it was based off on the chart you've posted earlier during ny.

Yeap is impossible to forecast the opening range with such a potential mover. I hope we break 1.266x before the roll so you have a proper mattress...

there is a nice inverse building on DOW and EUR too.. we just tested the NL.. I agree we may chop there untill the Greek Election or some other fundamental move..

P.S... Gold is nice.. and nice to watch from birdy perspective

Ok, very much a revenge trade, but gotta try, this just doesn´t seem right.

S EU .26, giving 25, aiming for 2515 min
change of plans, took 20 to cover my previous loss and waiting for further clarity...looks like markets are too eager to cover plenty of shorts before G20 meeting
