I see what you mean.

It's basically the difference between a successful trader and not yet successful trader.

Successful ones trade the chart, non-successful ones trade their perception.

if i buy near 2180 and close red at 2175 whats the big deal? is it any worse then buying a b/o, like many do at 2220 and then it goes to 2249?
Stop loss 5 pip I do it too often
p.s. I read samewhere strategi where u can catch top point or bottom of market and run for 100-300 pip
sametsing like u buy with stop loss 5 pip if it gone do the same i the same direction in 20 pip later and so on.It work but take long time to actheving profit (if u got mio no problem lol)

Gator,

95/97 and lower to 80 is where i look to enter. 91 is a support. i see these all day.. i just have lately been entering as low as possible. less trades but each pip meaning more. i said it was probably already bullish for 2249 min.

My weekend begins now - now some quality time with my little boy.

As a point of interest, last week saw euro fall 420 pips, this week just 86. Are the bulls gathering for a charge next week??

Wishing everyone a very good weekend!

Gator,

the magic of not trading just to trade. at 2195 entry with a stop at 2175 is a 20 pip sl.. entry at 2180 with a 2175 stop is 5 pips.. both with a 1% s/l

each 20 pips you make 1%
each 5 pips you make 1%
you have to make 4 more good trades at 20 pip s/l to= 1 good trade @ 5 pip s/l.
the bad ones are =
simple math.. cherry pick and trade less.. your broker makes less.
if your a candle trader.. trade the s/l.. in other words place a entry near where you would be s/o.. and you s/l is much tighter. but your reward is compounded. you miss lots of trades.. so what.

Everything in details explained there with utmost accuracy ...

Elliottwise it still points to the downside ... 1.2169 on a daily basis for example ...

Very near term last turning-point to be found in 1.2324/25 zone ...

In a larger picture it still points down even to 1.2113 ... clean cross below would give 1.2004 then as a next chalenge ...

As you can see in weekly survey column ...

###

But as always ... Elliott is not everything and moreover far from being sufficient alone ...

For that reason we do observe it from various more efficient...
of course it's up to the person that pulls the trigger - i make my decisions based on my own proprietary system - but i like to read peoples opinions

read an article about a guy who trades on a fundamental basis only - he even trades NFP big risk and keeps to b profitable - i never would do that, lol

i tend to keep trading as simple as it is: PA

Gold bounced nicely from my preferred level. Too bad I wasn't around yesterday to take the trade. Don't like to put on pendings when I'm not in the neighborhood.

Appears eu has yet to make a temp bottom, will look for a buy at the 2150/60 area. As it stands now we have bullish divergence on Weekly, Daily and 4H charts so we could bounce significantly if they can lift it off the cliff, but who knows.
yeh, even on weekly - game's on! i like these thrilling moments in life! =)

it's hard to get to the pip - simply trade smaller lots with wider stops. to get to the pip means more work than following a 9-5 job.

Not much, but that will do.
