Yours looks great...and I have it on another chart, but I have the same one as Dr. chazzle, too...

Just a channel on the most recent drop.
I guess we'll have to wait and see. We definitely need to take out, at a minimum, 1.1730 and then 1.1690

I thought 1.1730 was going to be taken last night, and I went to be feeling fuzzy inside as we were pressuring 1.1740

Woke up this morning... fuzzing feeling gone.

I guess what's interesting is we were unable to break through range highs in the 1.1850 zone. Also, looking at charts of Euro and Aud, it's clear that Aud has support below with higher lows, while Euro can't really make that claim. In short: I see less resistance to the upside for Aud than Euro and more support on the downside for Aud than Euro. That tells me that shorts are still safe in EA.

Now, someone phone Merkel and get her back from vaca!

Forever indebted to to the mighty PTL for turning that light on for me.



Nout brother. One silly Gold short stopped out for -$2.50 while I slept. EA has retraced against my open positions, but haven't added, or closed any.

How's about yourself? Still raiding google's drinks fridge?

I zoomed out to see why I might have put it there in the first place -- this maybe? I can't remember
Still a bit messy for my liking, but that's just me. If it works for you, can't argue.

  1. 1:30 PM Citi's take on the Draghi remarks: Any action taken by the ECB to support bond markets - whether it be another LTRO or reactivation of the SMP - will only come after the permanent rescue facility (ESM) is up and running. Given Germany's constitutional court looking into the matter, the earliest this could happen would be September. Comment!

  2. 1:16 PM ECB member Noyer adds to earlier remarks from President Draghi that the central bank is set to take additional steps to ease the debt crisis. "We will do everything so that the transmission of our monetary policy takes place," he says. "Transmission" is code for the idea that low policy rates are not filtering through, giving the bank the excuse to buy sovereign debt.

I find traditional candle stick formations are really hard to take action on in FX. Everyone's broker, it seems, is running on a different timezone which means everyone has a slightly different candle formation. Even on the dailys, it can be different. MBT, for example, doesn't not close the daily candle at 5pm EST. I actually think it's midnight or something. It's odd.

I know what you're saying , i had this thought when posting on wormboys thread a while ago - his chart is very different to mine time-wise and he trades candle formations also - both seem to work

Nice work on EJ. Will be watching for a decent pullback to place a long there over the coming days. As close to 94.10 as possible...but I'll probably go in much sooner...94.66 might be nice.

I'm about the same. It just becomes a fixed "object" for me to reference PA's ebbs an flows. Over time, I get used to where it is sitting on my chart...and can gauge PA quicker by referencing it. Pure voodoo!

I do find it more of a "True Range" type channel, though. The edges and mid of it can be in play everyday...which I like.

At least everything sub H4 is universal.
