...is there anyone open position on gu?
if you want to know mine... if not already shorted from 5250, or at least 5220, then look for 5175 and 5090 first. i had that one at 5250 tops, which has been nice. peeps were talking abt 5320ish, made me felt so uneasy watch the moves last week, and the week before.

i can bring you more women actually.

anyway, i want to ask about your strategies. how many trade you enter in a day (average). what timeframe do you use?
I have become a semi-scalper mate, I used to have only 2-3 trades but lately my average has been 10. Actually if I open/close positions more than 10 times, I know I am over-trading and stop. There are of course days like yesterday.

I am trading intraday mate, so have to look at shorter time frames but it doesn't mean I don't look at the daily chart. Every pair's PA is different, for instance some days 15 M works amazingly well with EJ when there is a range. I make my trading decision based on tick chart for better entries and keep an eye on 15 M to 1 H & 4H.

Unfortunately I don't have the patience anymore to trade higher time frames since even if my view is right, PA comes and takes away my hard earned pips and I don't like that. Once I reach my daily target - if I do reach of course - I tend to take things slow since looking at all these charts and watching a number of pairs consume all my energy and I noticed my afternoon trades are less succesful since I am no longer in shape. I wished I can trade like I used to but everything is on thin ice now and I know I have to cash when I am in green. In fact, I don't even leave the profit with my broker more than a few days now, not to increase my usual trade size.

I have a very simple way to know my bias. Unconsciously.
Its like this. I trade on a fixed 15 min candle, 125 pip scale chart. I decided to trade on a fixed pip scale becase I could have a better gauge how big were the moviments and the days by just looking at it...
i like that fixed ones made me easier to spot angles..

EJ is currently correcting the swing down from 121.8x my targets are the bubbles.

Need to watch for the daily PP just reached and now europe is open a possible shortened correction.

A push above the high 121.8x will lead to on to possibly a bigger correction of the larger swing down.

like on last monday when EU drop significantly your position is to long EU. and you said you win 120 pips. you mean win 120 pips from eu only or both eu and ej?

yupe every pair has different PA, even the same pair has different PA during london session compared with us session. i do intraday trading with 3-5 position a day. but i do long trade as well with higher SL and Higher TP but with small lot. During asian n london session i am using 5m EU-PA. H1 H4 and D only to find S/R and major trend. However during US session i can use 1m EU-PA. i might put SL only 5 pips and targeting 10-15 pips. so far so good. this week a profitable week as well. at least better than last week

Bull thrown a good challenge which is not easy to minimize in very short term action.
Now bear needs a roller coaster action if it want's to save 2825
