i see this testing the 1.59 high of last week over the next few days, i am long, then i am short when the hopes of QE3 are dampened on Friday
Hoping for a dip (on this hourly candle) to 5813-5817 to long again with target of 5850, although it may be a bit late in the day for another big move upwards

theres 2 possibilities

1) weekly is in a bear flag which has broken to topside false breakout, but i dont think this is possible..that it would fall this low

or the bottom is formed and the some bitch is going up..

one or the other

classic 'congestion 2nd b/o' play at the pullback lo - on the daily, ie 1st b/o is false - pulls back and re-tests b/o zone and gives a hi-probability long opp. How true is the 2nd b/o ?

agree with albchr.. closing long reverse to short.
I hope not based on me. I've been holding this short for almost 6 hours now...LOL

The only good thing I can say about it as of now is....the Indexes "may" be starting to turn in our favor.

dont need stick - need eyes, we going up
He he I know bro.
Just thought maybe useful to have a tool that can show us something we can't see.

But I see we going up.

But it's still fubar in my book, don't see a move like this much that's all, it looks kind weird on the daily and even 4 hr a bit.

Just odd, but that's what fake money (even rumour does eh?)

Probably looks perfectly normal on the 16 month chart though, just a blip, if that.

Back to sleep now, all the best mate
Come with me if you want to live....

Fear.. the biggest obstacle I have yet to overcome. Fear to lose my hard earned profits generated earlier that day... Yes, I closed the damm trades atfer they were 1 pip into profit lol. Follow the damm rules next time. Sounds so simple.

A way to avoid fear is when you KNOW you that your system is generating small consistent profits over time. I think this will trigger me to have more confidence which results in letting winners run.

Its that first step that is so damm hard to overcome. Sorry for being a bit offtopic here by the way.

yes u are right..u have to believe..if u believe then u stay positive and fear cant affect u..and this can only come from a positive equity curve


but the trick is to not care so much, eliminate emotion means no barriers..this is the optimum place to be in whilst trading..

Could be. Everybody is on board in eur/usd though.
They are getting on. Now previous high of 1.5911 has to be taken out.

Yeah this slow market is tough, gives you more time to worry about your trades (like now with my longs) its great when the momentum is carrying you along but now? Have to step away from the screen for a while.

Still holding longs looking for 1.585 at least

suppose the reason for my concern is i think the lack of QE3 this friday will see maybe 100 pips south. Todays data has given more optimism for it happening but in reality it will take more to make the fed act.
