USDX coming into a zone now...

Still room to drop, though...

And of course...it could just blow right through after seeing what's happening in the last 10 minutes, or so.
Got absolutely savaged!

-Hungary ratings just cut.
-No EU budget deal.

EU +104 from the Open. Makes perfect sense. Nothing to see here.

the problem is, how does the EA know when the divergence is real or not? i think it would be a hard EA to code.
Goldman etc pay these quants 6 figure salaries to work this shit out - the thing is , rule of thumb i think is if it would be easy to code , it ain't gonna work in the long run , might work in the short term - but for how long? that's the question

I picked it up somewhere. Steal away.

Got more than my share of bug moments. I'll just see how this one goes. Still in from .2886.
Thanks

and good luck with the short... should fall back to reality maybe you can get out with small loss..

My positions are small, so will play next week and add in size up to 3020ish. Little higher for stop probes. Only 40 pips away, though. If another country gets downgraded in Europe, we may hit it today!

tell me (if you dont mind) how do you add to positions? same size lots or increase as price moves against the first position?

i do add to losers occasionally but always stop once i have added to a loser twice (so a total of 3 trades), as anything more than that and i find it can get out of hand quickly.

Oh!

Then smiles all around!

You looking to take the profit soon?

or waiting for a real top first?

To make it a truly epic day...we need to go back and close at the Open now!

I do remember some NFP days a few years ago like that, though.

the way i add is, small positions first, once we get closer to the area i actually want to short/Long
I add up 2 or 3 max positions increasing in size ..
last position i add is usually with a very tight SL and bigger in size than the other 1 or 2 position added before

why i add before we get to the area where i actually WANT to short/Long is lake of PATIENCE!! and the fear of loosing out on getting into a trade (i need to work on that... A LOT)

well , that's it - as far as I can understand ( which may not be much ) algos are made , but constantly updated/tweaked/trashed etc ... by human minds . If we see AI create and update algos , well .... then we're all fucked
