{quote} It's for everyone in this thread, who has some thoughts. I have difficulties with entries, in pattern trading it's easy to enter, at D completion, but when there is no pattern, that becomes hard to me.
I don't trade this pair but looking at the chart it just hit a daily high at the 50 round number and is right above the 61.8 retracement on the hourly chart. I would have thought that a good place to look to go short. Just my opinion from a quick glance at the chart.

Sorry IenDzi,
It was the daily chart where I had laid out the fibs. It is just past the 61.8 retracement on the daily. To me though it does look like a good short opportunity there at the 1.3650. Just my opinion, I am not a pro nor do I follow this pair.

Dunno, must be my eye. You went down to LTF to check, and that is a great thing thanks, but even then it was short by cca 6 pips on B=61,8% of XA.
It should not be subjective though, unless our X was different (?)
Well then you took it as a gartley at a demand level? Then you are having a profit of 30-35 pips? Great. Most of the time better safe than sorry, however at this level there is a nice demand for sure. I think here must be a lot o differences between people even using the "same" methods.
Let me know how you conclude after a sleepy day in the market
BTW it has hit the B level of the HP again, likely to have it as a resistance and bounce...in case you are long, just secure yourself!

Tnx

Mr. Pip,
How do you deal with a day or days when the markets just go sideways in a 20-25 pip range? I have been dealing with this for some time with the pair I trade. A good trade set up seems to come maybe once a week rather than a couple times a day. Just curious what a professional trader does. Thanks in advance.

Red swing had lots of rejections from the downside so the swing became weak. Also had sharp rejections at bottom.
Green swing didn't have much rejections compared to red swing. So the swing was stronger than red.

Just some more thoughts, regarding "Dumb Money Tried to Long"
Some of that order flow will not be people entering long, but exiting shorts i.e. perhaps they shorted earlier on, saw price move against them, then closed out as price returned to near their entry point.

I'm actually short on EURUSD at the moment. I think it still has some short mileage left, but I'll be keeping the stops tight.
Earlier, I managed to short the top of the swing (there was clear deceleration on the tick chart, but it is not so clear on time chart). I then exited at the first retracement.

Edit: just saw there is some high impact news coming... I'll be exiting at BE if I can (in the next 10 mins)
