Yep. At this point, it's time to start looking to other pairs. Like AUD, NZD, JPY. Have a little AUD noise coming up later. Maybe there will be some signs of life.

But still, I hate August for trading. Probably just me but it always seems so sloooooooooow... LOL

{quote} @Rag2RichesFX: Lookie lookie here, if it ain't Rag2RichesFX back in the place. Howzit as JimmyC would say? I'm short to 1.6760 from 1.7190 and 1.7045 I see you are long to 1.6850 - lets hope it gets there. All signs are point down though, but as I always say, Let's See What Happens Just to set the record straight, I am not a GURU HDA OUT
It going great boss. Killing these markets.
Currently long: UC, UJ, EU, EA, NU, AN, EG all +floating

Your target will hit eventually.

I don't want to be long GU, I want to be long EG.
It was just a 20 pip stop trade, with 30 pip target.

Not usually my cup of tea but when I'm 90% sure of success I'll take it.
Typically my stops are 100 pips or greater.

Nobody is a guru. Although I own a website www.goldsilver.guru

Anyone want to buy it?
Be hopeful in a winning position, and fearful in a losing position.

Food for thought:

Notice the marked H1 candle, it actually has one of the highest volumes for last 6 weeks, last time we see that level of volume was on 18th June. I checked a few other platforms, OANDA and FXCM, all the same.

Normally I don't trade VSA stuff, but high volume bar should not be ignored and it could indicate something. Both big engulfing and high volume bars are institutional stuff, and these boys don't do something for nothing.

Also noticed that the Monthly Pivot is at 1.6979, if we still have any bullish moment left, then we should at least check it back once more.

Also, quote from Citi:

"The weekly close below there is therefore important and indicates further losses. The near term support level is 1.6693 followed by 1.6419-60 where the 55 week moving average (rising) effectively converges with the March low," Citi argues.

Citi is my favourite contrarian indicator, they never seem to get it right.

totally agree with you, this candles in general are a big shift in positions to me, and cannot be ignored

Quoting IveGotQuads
{quote} Do you mind sharing your criteria for pyramiding ? or techniques
Hiya IveGotQuads, sorry I missed this earlier. I enter where I see momentum on the 1h or 4h TF (engulfing, outside bar, pin bar, ADX cross, BRN break/bounce, S/R break/retest etc). I size my trades according to how strong the signal looks to me and how close a previous entry was - there is no science behind the sizing.

It really is as simple as get in to the trades, move to break even and see what happens (that's the hard part - PATIENCE as HDA says). This has been a sweet (although unusual) run, as I would normally expect a number of trades to get knocked out at BE (and probably will do yet). I don't mind small losses or BE trades.

Sometimes there is a lot of wheel spinning to start with before things get traction - this can lead to a number of losses, but if you remain with it the wins usually work out much bigger than the small losses/BEs.

I am longer term bull on GU and will start unloading (or dump and turn) and then stack long when I think this short run (pullback) in the long term bull run may be over.

Quoting Bones
im gonna put cable in a down channel like this ,tls often unreliable ,all id say is there is a channel there,this is sideways ,up poss thats the high reading other charts,ill see h4 on d1 close {image}
Nice charts bones , very easy on the eyes. And yeah I think the pound/dollar still has some room to the upside on a retracement, perhaps to the 50 /61 fib. IMO theres more risk shorting as it is than buying at the moment (even tho we have about a potential 60 pip potential upswing) If we look at the correlation between Eur/Gbp (downtrend) Eur/Jpy (downtrend) with the Gbp/Usd its pretty clear on the reversal @ 1.6840 zone on the dailies...I would prefer staying away from this pair till I find a tangible conviction on a trade.
