{quote} Hopefully you're on demo. The 4 hour candle closes in 30 mins, and there's always a strong possibility that it'll get sold down extra hard the closer to the close we get, so as always with forex, patience is a virtue. Trading what you would like to happen is a fool's game. If your charts say buy, then do so - if they don't, stay well away.
I had a small live position as well. It's OK, I risked <1% on both trades combined. I'm gonna stick to my original plan in the remaining EUR/CAD as I don't see any signs of EUR outperformance on the crosses reversing today. No weekend risk though.

If we still in wave 5 form the top (1.3830)...then price needs to go below 1.33 (low yesterday)
If not... then we are in a correction b.... if ended...normally above low wave 5 and we see a correction with wave c

.... both are possible now... I think

well at the and of this big down move (yesterday and today) .... we have a elliot pattern (expanded diagonal) started at 31/03/2013 (1,2,3,4,5) that can be ended at +/- 1.28.... (long term!)

example of expanded diagonal => see image

well I'm curious of my forecast is correct... I just started with Elliot wave pattern recognition... so don't blame me

{quote} It will not end today. It will be taken down all the way. Then let people have a good think in the weekend. Then spike it down on Sunday so everyone exits. Then, it's end.

a down move ending with a spike down? never seen that especially on eur usd

Different game for Crosses. E/CAD not entirely depends on EURO.

Strong dollar + CAD = ?

You can do the math for E/CAD.

Here's the intraday trendline -- unlikely to be a strong long entry signal but a break could be valid as an exit for shorts or you can try scalping shorts against it although here it looks like it could be breaking. Won't be trying +EUR/USD again though as already stopped out for .5% equity/30 ticks there today. Just gonna hold the EUR/CAD hopefully for a 30-50 tick gain.
Edit: the breakout held and we're supported for now.

Yes, everyone can see it's going down. But they can't see what happens after. That comes with experience.

Eur/usd hoovering around 1.38xx,
Traders say to go long. targets above 1.40
Fed "no change in QE" USD strengthen regardless
From there, all news from eur comes negative for the currency. Draghi cuts rates. eur continues to dive. Bad news from US doesn't matter, Eur continues down.
This happens over and over again

It could be. But u usually can't go wrong exiting on a trendline break like that. Sometimes the trendline break causes a big break sometimes it just comes right back as you said. If you felt that strongly about the original direction you can just get back in at a better price. But if there's no trend-line/you're grinding above moving averages then the win probability is quite low

{quote} Different game for Crosses. E/CAD not entirely depends on EURO. Strong dollar + CAD = ? You can do the math for E/CAD.
Also fundamentally, Fed tapering is more bearish CAD than it is bearish EUR, no? (Notice the rally in EUR/CAD and EUR/MXN since the summer of 2012 which is largely Fed driven). Everybody has seen the big GBP/CAD, EUR/CAD breakouts out of multi-year ranges. The action on the EUR leg has been severely dampened by the recent data but definitely not for GBP. There's also GBP CPI and GBP unemployment next week (more potential fuel for longs) and EUR shorts seem crowded to me at the moment. Hence +EUR/CAD for me
