From BBMac"There are a million different ways to derive an edge - and the answer is yes you can derive an edge from technical factors. Edge's don't predict the future - none of them they simply tell us based on historical precedent of the last times they set-up what the greater probability may be - THIS IS NOT PREDICTION. The technical constants of support (demand) and resistance (supply) and price action are what you should look to base your edge on - not 'coincidences'"

I disagree..we use the past to forecast the present..i personally think its all in the charts first therefore its a leading indicator, an edge is defined by forecasting therefore it cannot be lagging

I think one day soon I'm gonna open a demo account and trade just GU and EU using nothing more than a coin toss to place trades. Heads long, tails short.

Using regular mm to place targets and stop losses. When either is hit, flip the coin and go again. Paying no attention at all to price, candles, trends or ranges, news or anything else. Just completely random trades based on nothing but the chance outcome of the coin toss.

I don't disagree at all with anything you say. I believe that the real...
Maybe a coincidence, I really don't know

But it's a valid TL retest.

It's late here so off to bed.

Goodnight all and may the Forex Gods be with us all

Navin,
then you are better than me . I think sometimes that whatever the trnd line , pivot ,supply zone ,what will happen next is always a guess for me.

By the way you are a better trader than me, along with Bbmac and many others here. Which is why i will watch and learn.

Cheers.

Often think I could greatly improve my chances this way. Strictly, though, using stop losses would be cheating.

Incidentally, I'm a long-time lurker on this forum, and have greatly enjoyed your and others' posts. It does a lot to help one suffer the slings and arrows when you know you're not the only one looking for shelter, and thinking 'WTF?!'

So...Hi to all, and good luck in your trading!

Hourly is showing a potential flag... I still see no signal for a short on the lower timeframes... even they look bullish.

Let's see whay NY does... Maybe a push higher to 1.6168 deeper into the supply zone!

Its not just the olympics, regional data was strong too and really, it was the London Olympics. Ford are struggling because of Ford. Nissan in the north east just created a shed load of jobs earlier this year so its not the motor industry per se although you would have thought global economy would contribute to poorer figures there. However, I hate all this fundie market, big spike then zip for 4 hours, you cant trade purely on news, its unsustainable.

For sure the Olympics are a one-off event that has boosted GDP and that was forecasted in the 0.6% but it came in 0.4% higher and that is a lot in the grand scheme of things.

I am just as disappointed as I have some long-term shorts still going with a SL just below 1.62. I have locked in profit, but it could have been so much nicer.

But hey... the fat lady hasn't sung yet and I am sure we will get technical sellers coming to the party soon... like me they are still waiting for NY to decide.
