Well I couldn't sleep last night and was over tired by this morning. The pull back right before the drop got me freaked out. I cut my shorts, one for +10 ish and the one for -30ish (could have closed even ) because I know today could reach new high. Struggled with the pullback target. I didn't want to be under water from so far down. Saw this little ABC down from the previous high stops on 38% but put order @ 50% for the move back up (not filled). Again I jumped in long from to high up @23%. Targeting 3920. Had a cheeky short from 23@ targeting 50% (stopped) Sub wave shuffle. +141 on GU short

Break and back test of 23% closing under on the 4h, I'm going for the 50% again. 1.3800 break test.

I have strong signals on daily and h4 for a major journey to the south.
But with days like the last two I distrust everything.

Pretty much this^^^


Even commodities has been lively with coffee, silver and copper recently.

Theres something strange afoot here though. An unseen or underappreciated flow, which is one of the reasons I hate FX at times. Theres some flow out there thats taking valuations off where they should be on a relative rate basis. Could be China central bank, could be Russia, could be european banks deleveraging... who knows. Given how wide US/EZ rate spreads are at the moment you wouldnt expect EURUSD to be trading here. Theres just no doubt that the vacuum of speculative FX money is hurting us all right now because nobody really puts on huge size positions anymore, and likely havent since the obvious JPY sell off in 2012.


Oh I wish it could all go back to how it was in 2011... so easy.


However, even with all this I will stick with it. With most of the momentum FX hedge funds gone, Bank desks with way less prop trading, and a general trend of less speculative volume... whenever the trend gets going it will be big. A fed rate hike cycle at this point has the chance to be one of the biggest trends since the Nixon Shock.

If you consider that all the day to day variations in products/services/investments etc that cross borders from dollars to euros per day daily ranges of 20 pips seems very unlikely (but somehow has been happening for the last few months).

it does move, but only for 5 minutes/week, and almost never during the ny session.. then it just sits again.

I agree its actually very difficult because unless you are at the computer at the precise moment to catch the window (which as you mentioned lasts only a few minutes a couple of times a week) the price is very much the same no matter when you look. As citiboy asked, I wonder what is soaking up the buy side/sell side to make it like this (and why).

either that, or you sit on a trade on the daily chart.. but entering on that is very difficult with all the fakes going on before the real move..
this is daily sugar, easier ways to make money than trading eurusd..
