breakouts in asia = low volume = usually trap moves.

There is probably a good sized chunk of trapped bear left over from Friday. Someone might be having bear for dinner.

Wait a minute, 1 & 2 = ah soooo...

interesting

It's probably just a shakeout of last week's debacle.
or a stop hunt in session. It suspiciously penetrated Resistance as easily as it went back down.
I'm not adept of conspiracy things such as the bear-trapping stories, but i see things like that i really wonder...
Who is dumb enough to move the market that much and get stuck?

50bps out of nowhere. Only a monkey can do that.

i hate these shitty moves, always touch SL for nothing. Just because some monkey just mixed up buy and sell buttons in an obscure bank
the bear at 1.24 earlier was not strong enough apparently, it needed a stronger rejection, it went up looking for 1.2440 on an unexpected breakout at this kind of hour, claimed to be covering for eur/aud ? lol..

A fat bear camp from 1.2440 pushes price down. Price on eur/usd and aud/usd is knocking me off my technical as well. It's always asking for more upside when u think of reversal.

not today, but i got owned a lot in the past.
Now, any position i enter, i put 200bps SL.

Now if EURUSD wants to get me, it's gonna have to move its big ass

I find it good, as it obliges me to have very very conservative money management; and at the same time i avoid the shitty ranges,bumps and feed myself both ways if needed

200 pip sl is not necessary, to many resistances in the way.
My sl was 15 pips, Now be + 8

Alright buddy, if it works for you than fine, I never fire my trade unless it is confirmed by candle at sup & res - it is a very simple concept which most don't see,

I agree that s+r of many origins is very important. I also pay a tremendous amount of attention to tl's and ew's and even to news (taken with a large grain of salt). The only problem I have with candles is that most of the time they only confirm - they don't predict.

the market this past 2 months is just pointless. Bernanke farts, it moves by 50bps. Draghi is coughing, moves by 100.

Some unknown economists says BS on BBG or WSJ, then it moves a lot.
2h later, people have forgotten

Then u wonder why the global economy is such a mess today...

sorry, pips. Work habit.
(bp = basis points for the newbies, used for rates, yields, some prices, bond quotes, etc...)

Greed, fear and uncertainty is coded in candles, all fundamental news are represented on our charts by candles - shadows show us hesitation and full bodies mesure buyer's/seller's commitment in the market. I respect all kind of trading and I don't say that only one method is right, that's just silly. Could you describe shortly the way you determine your entry & exit???

But good morning
