  1. 3:55 PM Mario Monti's government is teetering (read Berlusconi's interview yesterday), and he may need a home run at tomorrow's summit in the form of a major concession from Germany to survive. Things haven't gotten off to a good start, with the Bundesbank today rejecting a piece of the Monti plan to support peripheral bond markets. Comment!
  2. JPM, GS
    3:30 PM Five U.S. banks and 9 European banks have had their ratings cut by Moody's, reports CNBC, with the official announcement coming soon. On the U.S. side, JPM, GS, and C look to be receiving 2-notch cuts, worse than hoped. BAC is said to receive a 1-notch cut, in line. No word yet on MS, but the expectation is for a multi-notch cut.

true 1522 is the line in the sand, i think a visit to 1400's is insight for now befor any real retrace, but gold can run

Still going lower in my opinion. My target is at 1.2525

See 1H and 4H charts below:
We might bounce some here, but I'm not confident we will... not confident enough to cut my shorts at least.

I'm actually lowering my target profits:

  1. EUR/USD now 1.2460 (from 1.2525)
  2. GBP/USD now 1.5525 (from 1.5585)


I had the chance to close my sterling at target, but I don't want to lose my position. The biggest mistake I used to make as a trader was cutting my winners too early.

It's easy to get out and plan on getting back in on a retracement, but a lot of the time they don't come. This is feeling an awful like one of those instances where it doesn't come.

I still make this mistake from time to time. Early this month I got heavily short EUR/AUD at 1.2850 I rode it all the way down to 1.2550, adding more shorts on pull backs, but never taking off my original position. At that point, I thought it was "due for a retracement" and figured I'd get back in at 1.2700ish

That price never came and the bastard has traded through 1.2400 (higher now).

Sorry for the 'lesson'. I know some of you are waiting for a retracement to hop in on the short side. I'm not advising you to get in now instead, just sharing one of my weaknesses I'm always working on.

They do give out 2nd, even 3rd entries. Not really worried about missing the train.

I feel the same way, i cut my blocks off though, didnt like the way they were milkin every single pip they could from it, could mean they were not letting anyone who took longs an op to get out without a loss or deep loss. Sucks having to rerisk a trade again , where as you can always take some but if a retrace you can add to your wonderful position already in play. tough call for sure, think we all struggle with that
