that's in the cards regardless even at 2384. the chf says even higher. 45 is just for today
would be a stretch for today, euro close and ny lunch, may be worth a look after...

No no gold today. I took the break but not in one go with the 2 mid sessions rallies early this week .... Tracking euro actually more than ES. ES is trading in those typical tops areas in a manic move in yearly highs where calling a top is just idiotic so as long as Daily S is holding ...is nothing to see there...

i'm gonna twist, last night didn't feel like top side was cleared...

gl with the trade...
It definitely felt topish to me. I'm watching the 4H... MACD has turned and stochastics are unwinding a bit before continuing the correction down imo.

I'm targeting the 1.2380s for a test of trend channel support. Pretty textbook, we'll see.

I'd never pretend that I could even speculate where the market opens after a weekend.

11:37 AM Bookmark this chart of iron ore prices, as it's becoming one of the more widely-followed global indicators. They've fallen another 1.9% today to just $100/ton, well below the line-in-the-sand price of $120 - the level at which Chinese producers would supposedly stop producing.

cable is interesting.. bubbling..

EUR @DPP need a hourly close above, then a 4h close above 2570 for a new High..

but what we seeing here is a fundamental move as a result of talks in Germany... and delaying any GREXIT before US election..

yeap that was exactly my question. If you are opening a position so late on Friday I assume you were expecting you position to hold the weekend but never mind ...

2384 not for today.. for the future. a h close below 45 will probably be a rejection burp. after digesting the latest news of the second coming of the euro. mid of the previous leg is 2459.

good point on h4 channel..
Yeah, so far so good on those fresh shorts... about +15 now.

Newbies tend to not realize (not calling you one by any means) that corrections very rarely happen with one big push, but rather take several back and forth pushes of progress before it finally tips over.

I like to think of it a lot like tipping over a vending machine. You're most likely going to have to slowly get that thing started, rocking it back and forth with each push making a little more progress in your desired direction. At the same time, you need to let it come back on you to build momentum so that it can finally drop to the ground. Each of those pushes is a step in the right direction and it's like working our way up each time frame with a currency pair: start with the 15min, to the 1 hour, to 4 hour, etc. until you've got enough momentum behind you to drop.

Kinda cheesy maybe, but it might help otherwise visualize what I'm talking about.

Anyway, looking forward to the weekend. I think I might sneak away from the gf with my buddy to go play some poker.

I don't let the weekend dictate a good opportunity just like I don't let the end of the NY, London, etc. session dictate my trades.

The only exception is if there is some significant events that are supposed to be occurring over the weekend.

I deleted cable from my charts...lol just kidding.

I haven't trade cable in months. I simple think Sterling is the most "confuse" and useless of all the currency across the board. Is not tradable under any FA parameters and TA is just noise and air (nice for intraday and the 5 minuters I guess).

Too many contradictory forces clashing and only speculators there ... With or without the Euro in the future, my call mid term is that Cable is overrated and incompatible with the current world, is not a haven, is not a commodity currency and is the size of the UK on the global market is going down by the minute...only London left there.... It has already started leaving the podium and it will be out completely in the next few years...

In any case, yeap I see what you mean intraday with cable and yeap agree that a FA mid term shift is in play in the euro....

Whoops. Aussie is unlocking another leg down on the H4. I'll be a seller at .0428'ish.
Umm. Could have done with that not filling before the weekend. Gunna knock this one out early... euro seems to want to drag this up higher for now.
