Do any fundamentalists here have an idea what will happen with the EUR/USD if the U.S. goes over the fiscal cliff? Seems to me, some of the time when there's negative U.S. news, sometimes the dollar goes down, sometimes it goes up. Like rumors of more QE makes Euro go up then stock markets panic then Euro goes down.

A stop should be placed where you know your setup is invalid. If you wait until it gets there the only thing that's going to happen is all rational thought goes out the window and your emotions take over. Stops serve you well if you use them right.

I use emergency stops only just in case all my backups go, we get a nuke on London and we start sinking here.

Thoughts? [Gravy train doesn't last forever]

retracement back to at least 1.25 by Xmas. Followed by bullish Jan/Feb taking us to higher levels
Still think it's going to hit 1.3080 before it has a chance to turn around, if not just to pick up momentum.

Yeah stop used to "stop" bad trades getting worse, basically it.
Even the worst trade can close with profit. Just give it time.

I am still selling each and every rally on the 5 here at my number from this morning, hourly and H2/4 getting better and better.

Hour and a half of watching paint dry, it did make me money but we are not going anywhere fast here, trailing the stops, see where we end up.

Have a wonderful evening.

Yeah 1.3080 isn't too far away, rejected at 1.307, second triangle hasn't established top yet, just showing what could happen if it does..

If you're using an emergency stop at least you still have some sort of stop. Way better than not using one at all, because black swan events do happen and people can have a good chunk of their accounts wiped clean if they don't have some preventative measure in place. I just hate the attitude that sometimes gets tossed around that it's acceptable not to have some sort of hard risk management in place, that's awful advice.

yep and that wouldn't be good for visitor numbers...

and that wouldn't be good for advertising rates

guess we are stuck with it

you could still implement the reverse iggy just to make the miscreants log in and out every time they want to goof on someone. that wouldn't hurt traffic.

They are miles away and not really part of my risk management, not going to advertise where my stops are. My risk stops are mental only.

There is still momentum, and it will push up high again. Buy at dips is the Call.
USD Index will fall further.

1.18 but they are not going to let it go that far, they will interfere way before that as it will mean a serious drop on the S&P/DOW also and they can't have that as that would mean admitting defeat in QE as it will negate all 3 plus the MBS and twist programs and the FED is not going to admit defeat.

I totally understand what you mean, and more then likely you are right.

Market is in uptrend therefore more likely to profit from long position.

But we are entering reversal zone, see pic.

In other words, they don't have a stop loss

edit: FED cannot accept they have done wrong instead continue adding to their 'position'

If they go over the cliff , then a nice Stock market profit taking , will take place and Euro will dip - maybe 100 pips in the first day and may drag January and half of Febuarary with it in Bearish mode ... sometimes its not about the political speech or event , but the repercussions that follows ! Greece was one headline and what we witnessed later one what merely a repercussions running after each other !

Problem is , not the fiscal cliff but USA economy that is started week recovery. Anything that threaten that , will push back the economy into negative arena.

I know about it.
And i did close my longs, took short, and now side-line.. But i am seeing there is a pressure for upside.
Check the weekly charts, for better understanding.
I have been holding my longs since friday, at 1.3025 levels, when it went to 1.2985 or so zone, i knew it will come up at 1.3070 due to that line you pointed out.

But if you se the momentum on the charts, there is divergence, well its not what i always look for.

Check the USD Index, high chances for a dip..

Check GBPUSD - Daily Chart, high chances for uprise, Dollar bearish,

This is my calculation, however its forex, quick action required always, up or down, just follow it
