to me... current PA indicates EU is heading south to adjust to UC rise = bigger than expected move

opened and closed EA a few times.. flat all good

When my long PO on UC was taken out while EU was rising, I waited for a pullback on EU and re-hedged to let it all calm down.. locked in about 40% of the profits I saw earlier.

We just (and finally) hit (and rejected quickly intraday) very strong R (is Y/Q/M/W Resistance). ES won't break above without a strong FA in my view and Europe won't help either with such poor macro numbers ...

1412.xx was definitively interesting for playing the news move. I hope you caught it. I skip the trade because of the rejection of daily high was too strong for my taste and inside of that strong R. I will reconsider later ....

Have you try aligning H1 to the floor opening? (or the globex open so you have the H1 on the 1/2)...it may "filter" some of the noise on triggers in that H1 chart....

Hi Sisse,
caught it twice there, still rather impressed by PA and its action around that level even with the bad FA...
Thanks for your considerations

I see that but it will require a very wide volatility (which is possible given the political circus in the US) that I am not sure will be that easy to trade. I am given priority to a more aggressive scenario without retrace: 1414.xx holding daily close and wide push up to 1435/40 area for the yearly roll with ECB/NFP as early catalyst leaving open fiscal cliff BS for the last push of the year

With or without fiscal cliff agreement ready to sell the swing deep retrace as soon as January 1st .... details on that outlook later but for now I prefer to ride the "news" without a proper retrace first ...tracking 1414 for the close...

Tempting tempting....but not in a hurry waiting for daily close here...

I think you are trading the S&P in spot....25 points? will be a fortune and out of range in the ES...in any case GL

1412,50 -> 1410 is 25 pips for me, 1 pips = EUR 10 so risking very little

Really getting tempted to start upping the lot sizes. I'm just playing extreme edges and have been expecting two or three orders to fill to make a whole position. Just isn't happening...I'm rarely even getting a second fill...let alone my third (meat) position.

Giving it thought...but probably exactly what the bastards want. I'll up...they'll run me over!

Anyway...given the pairs I trade, will adjust nothing until the RBA decision later. About 8 hours to go now.
