Stops to BE on the Aussie long, not messing around with this one too much. Currently sitting +12, will let her go, and see if she is a dud or not. Try again later if so... Stop is right where price will retest, unfortunately. So this is either momtenum race or stop out. More than likely, stop out.
Stopped +0.2. Just in time for it to come back to the respective supply turned demand area Probably should be adding right now, but i'm going to be a pansy instead.

Swissy is almost back to it's appropriate supply zone. I'll be looking for shorts on that one over the next day or so.

And this is why the higher time frames always override the lower ones.

Yep, and I would much prefer 2874, from the H1.
bears sell near 0374 w/o 0375 . for 0298 target.. bulls long near 0340 w/o 0338.... to target 0396 and possible 0409
bears look for weakness at/near bull targets..

both of these matches already lit.. it will go to one target or the other. posted entries are near where they will go the other direction. so stops should be tight... spread + 2 is all that would be needed normally.

it made a LL, but it still has to remain under 65... the LL indicated 2802 if 65 is unmolested. if it is 2897 is a mirror to 2802
eu 2865 broke (HH).. so bear weakness for a bull move to 2897 should be watched. as long as we don't break the low. the closer to the current low is the better r/r. i am looking to s.. so i wait for these bounces.

Aussie 15m... if you squint, stand on one foot while cocking your head to the side... it's kind of an ascending triangle.

Hey, gang. I just decided to move my protective SLs down to 1.2875.

Why? Have I lost confidence in my 1.2805 target.

No.

Take a look at the chart below. It's a 15min chart and the green line is a 50ema. It has done well to contain PA since mid-day yesterday. A move above this could easily mean we'll test 1.2900 resistance before going lower.

I've got a healthy amount of paper profits that I'd rather not see reverse with a move to 1.2900, but I'm not willing to cut my positions short yet here either. If the stop gets taken out, I'll be reloading shorts somewhere near 1.2900

Looks good. I am targeting 2808 min, but we have severely lost momentum. Aussie has reached daily demand, swissy will be at supply tomorrow or Friday. This current leg is about done across the board, just need to finish up a couple more items.

Edit: Ok, I don't mean severly lost momentum. It's just a retrace move... always messy. lol

Sounds wise to me, bouncing towards 1.2900 very possible imho
