1.2654 seems to be a short term credible resistance.

Both pairs are (were) trading inside a triangle. AUDUSD is going against some major resistance @ parity level which I advocate that shall be taken out anytime soon. It has somewhat become a 'flat surface' and looks like it will be retested for a 4th time.


USDCAD broke a shorter term support which was validating a descending triangle. Will keep holding on to my short as I expect a bearish USD for at least the remainder of the month.

With all the great trades that happened this week (USDCAD, EURAUD and especially GBPUSD), there was no room, at least for me, to attempt to jump into another trade.

Having in mind a supposed USD weakness, UJ presented a very hard decision trade. The MM changed to down by one pip around mid day London session yesterday. The pair formed a triangle that was broken during todays Asia session. It provided a good IW short entry. However, being a Friday and the MM being changed by jut one pip made the decision all together hard.

It turned out to be a great trade, but hard to take.

I haven't traded this pair because of it inconsistencies, low ranges and constant BOJ interventions.

Just to keep you guys posted on how the market has performed regarding ranges filment in the last 30 days.

The majors have been pretty volatile and deserve special attention on take profit levels for the range templates.

Thanks for the heads up mauro! When I tested the first time the ADR fullfilment it was around 65% at 80% ADR for majors. Now it seems like it boosted more than 80% at 80% ADR. Consistent big moves.

AUDCAD gave out an excellent 18.4 ID basis today.

Great timing, ADR size, breakout time, MM direction and expected trend.

Hi everyone, I've been trading intraday with the igrok method since the beginning of this month and I've never felt so comfortable with a trading method before

My question is, would the current week on EUR/USD be considered an 18.4 on an intra week basis? My thinking is that the current week is a down week which has met 67% of it's range, and price has retraced back to within 50 points of the weekly high. Is this a valid setup to trade short with a protective stop above the weekly high and a profit target of 90% of the weekly range?

Thanks in advance for any advice, it is greatly appreciated.

Hey,

If I were you I would be patient. The PA isn't as clear as I would like to see it. We had an example on cable last week when only Friday was the day when all the situation got clear to participate in with any orders. Things I don't like about the EU at the moment is a strong up move today. When there is such a move one day it is more likely that the move would be continued the next day. USD index is another thing. As we know EU is correlated (negative) with the $ index. And looking at the index chart it seems that USD is dropping like a stone. There are just couple pips left for the weekly main move on the USDx to be changed to down. So it isn't the situation we would like to see while selling the EUR/USD pair.

We have a MACD div on Euro towards ~1.2540 (H1) and that is the only thing supporting the idea of a short position. Not enough for me.
I am also watching the pair. But I will wait for a while. It might be a shot the other direction if we would change the MMOW. A pullback south and a buy then.

My opinion here. Hope that helps.

Thanks Mr.C,

After taking in your comments and having another look at the charts, I couldn't agree more. I think my main problem with trading has been my lack of pateince, as a result I often jump into trades that look like a good opportunity without fully analyzing all the possible scenarios. It's funny how easy it is to convince myself that I should take a position or that I should be in the market, and how hard it is sometimes to convince myself that I shouldn't be in the market at all.

Thanks again,

Court

Although I am not the owner of this thread, I will try to answer this one.

All other majors are gaining against the USD and have changed the weekly move with the exception of USDCHF which is a proxy to EURUSD.

EURUSD will most likely follow the other majors and take out its weekly high and change the main move to up.

We also have to observe how close to the high of the day will todays session close. We had an over extended range today and if todays session closes within the reach of todays high, there is a good likelyhood that tomorrows session will take out todays high which is less than 20 pips from the weekly high. Therefore making this trade a more 'risky' one IMHO.

A good option, in my humble opinion, is to look for longs in audusd, nzdusd, gbpusd and the yen crosses whenever they ALL change the MM to UP.

This is my opinion. Of course, there might be different observations.

My 2 cents.

The market has been very kind these last few weeks. Had a great start of the the year, not as good in March-April, but doing great May-June so far.

How about you?

Glad to hear that. Same here. There were some ups and downs but I can't complain. I am all good overall and happy with the progress.
