Quoting Robby
That may happen but do not get greedy and lose what you have. I have almost closed out up here from my 1.27xx buys. I have very little left and waiting until I see what I think is a top. It looks like we are going to set a top in this week or next for a move down...but I have been known to be wrong before...
As stated before I have profit locked in and as we rise I lock in more profit so its all good.

Unfortunately these news reports don't move the market much anymore when released. This only caused a 20 pip drop on eu, not much of a big deal.

Another trader's positioning (not mine)

stop on EURUSD moved up to 1.3040 - locked in 105-if taken out then we might get an opportunity to get long at 1.2934/67

I think its because of the liquidity flows coming in from Japan. Hard to fight a Tsunami of cash.

The only thing to "turn the tide" will be bearish FA. FA is the Superman of market movement IMO

Closed my longs, I'll take my profits and run. The unemployment news have started moving the pair south. I have an existing sell @ .31. Will try and see where this thing goes. Might close @ +1 like JD does

I am looking to add on dips, this might be another great buying oppertunity if we hit 1.3050. That can now act as support.

Based on my 4h chart I expect retracement to 3068-3074 before any possible up move. You can see the perfect hits on the grey BB, even the ones from yesterday not marked

Good call on closing out the longs.

I got into the office and saw how Ms Market decided to take a southerly drive.

There is no shame in taking a profit ANY profit. My thought is you can ALWAYS re enter at the same or better level.

EUR/USD drops through 1.31

EUR/USD easily cut through short-term bids in the 1.3100 area, expect some interest around 1.3080 which is the bottom of the last dip and the 61.8% retracement of today’s rally.
More interest at 1.3040 with stops below.

Read "short", thought "short"...and I bought
Long @ 1.30946 cuz of M5 MA200 bounce. On other hand RSI on all timeframes cools off so another push up might leave 1.3113 in the past ( tried it few times already it's time to forget it far south of PA). If price comes down to 1.305ish i'll buy again.

Been there and done that too bro on thinking one thing and doing another.

I learned that expensive lesson and that is how I got 3 of my 9 loses in 18 months.

What I do now is take a sec or two and confirm what I am doing.

The amount of missed pips is nothing compared to WTF did I do?

Your long should be OK but I dont know if you used a SL or not.

Out of long @02 for +3

Got to prepare for some client meetings and dont have time to baby sit.

Have an existing long @ 1.3131 should Ms Market grace its presence.
