{quote} you tell me, are u one who bought the b/o at 3792 and tp at 3820? or did u let those profits go to b.e. and were stopped out? or even worse not b.e. and stopped out at 3766 on that b/o buy? personally i made 80 pips and lost 3... the guys holding from much lower haven't made a dime till they close some trades if they haven't already

I'll tell you exactly, as I think I did a fairly poor job of explaining.

Yes, I was one of the guys holding from 1.34 YET - ALL my longs Fibre- Aussie, Cable, Kiwi, and my shorts on Swissy and Loonie are stopped out in profit thankfully.
Still long gold and silver...

G-
Don't get me wrong here. But, now I was looking for a new trade on E/U "fibre" - and the trade wasn't a LOSER it just Never got filled because I was trying to nickel and dime this game to save 20 pips, thinking I would get hit on the bottom of the range before the last breakout.

So in essence, nothing lost, nothing gained, just experience.

I just also don't see why everyone on this forum is constantly short. Especially when there is more money to be made stacking some longs on a nice ride.

{quote} it is a rule of thumb (add a toe if you like), price tries not to miss daily pivot, weekly pivot, monthly pivot, two times in a row.
euro price missed this month pivot. how should i build a position that goes to next month?

i too think we go higher. i have higher targets.. except the most common pattern on the eu chart in these target patterns, is a retrace before . 3102 and or 3079/85 are retrace patterns for 4073/84 and 414x. the retrace usually happens before the target is achieved.

{quote} Mostly here are scalping. Even for short positioning E/U still have doubt at this rate - there are other EUR/XXX crosses with short potential than E/U. Next one coming is EUR/CAD

While I was in the shower I just had the same revelation that you just posted.

And Likewise, in retrospect, why would position traders be short now.

Yet,
scalping is - or at least for me - a game I play when I have a lots of LOTS to stack and the desired pair is in range,
otherwise I don't have the patience for it.

Too much work for too little profit.

Thanks for your

You have anything on E/CAD?

Waiting at 1.450 - 1.500 if it gets there

I whole heartedly agree with you.

But, even when I scalp I ALWAYS go in the direction of the H1 as the "Boss" in the chance that there is a breakout I will be on the right side.

My next target is .4100

yet, I will practice patience and not make a "cheap" order. I trade cable more than fibre so I suppose I thought I would just "hit it"

Reason not long because expensive negative swaps. Shorted 3x. First one 600 pips, second 400 and third one got S/O.

Is 4868 a 23.6% extension? 4800 is also a 50% retracement on a larger scale

only thing holding me back from shorting it is u/j... I would short more happily from 3880-3900.. I think u/j can drop a little more.. If that happens and the cripple goes to around 3900 then it's a "fire at will"..

{quote} its not the eu, i dont know the personality.. the blue box bounce before target drop, seems in the cards. 4990 may become a min target... and to keep the 3854 target, the high should remain,,, it may be a good r/r short above 4990 and below 5029.... if it gets there remind me,, {image}
Gotcha

Watching U/CAD and E/U for E/CAD

Edit:

G, that's EUR/AUD chart not EUR/CAD

EUR/AUD I am still in.
