What is the ultimate best life in trading that everyone wants...making profits without looking at the charts i.e enjoing life, not stuck on a screen trying to 2nd guess the next move in a completely random unpredictable market that moves by forces nobody can ever understand...

i dont know about you but im sick of the charts, the lies and the fake moves, im more interested in developing an automatic strategy with rules, because ultimately who wants to look at bar charts for the rest of their lives?

if you have a strategy that works then the rules should be implemented automatically so you can enjoy your life.. if it cannot be implemented into an automatic system profitably the strategy will be a loser in the longrun as the trader will be trading on emotions

Should not take too long to see if there are "sudden bids" to make euro retrace to intraday high.

Most affecting dollar index that made euro pop are dollar/yen flows. About 3x eur/yen. Just waiting to see them again.
They think they are smarter than I am.

{quote} Moving SL to lock Profit +4
OUT

Scored a few pips on the GU long, really a break even trade. Price slowed down and the EU showed some weakness so I walked my SL up and it got taken out.

Still has room to run, may pullback and go, but Price has slowed down, I am done for the day.

Cheers and happy trading!

I don't disagree- I feel cautious here.

But- historically from very top to very bottom....we've only just cracked 50%, and I don't hear very many good things said about the EU these days..a lot of whispering about parity too. Although logic says we should retrace before such a thing

{quote} If you check weekly, open just got defended, though those stupid sales almost broke it. So, so far so good for bears, though am thinking I may cover here and prepare to load on weekly open overshoot. Am a bit confused now, that move was too fast for my slow brain. Edit: And I actually have plan for occasions I get confused! Leave it all as it was planned and go for coffee and smoke. Cya later.
If we close above 1800, it may do a spike towards 1870 tomorrow, which would be a good short into a new low.
Everyone can see the chart, but only a few can actually read it.

{quote} 100% agree, i am being careful on todays positions, pretty much all very tight SLs even though i am trying to build longs still, but closing too low this day even without LL on h1 would be bear.
We will need a strong daily candle to be able to build longs...this doesn't look like it, yet. If we spike to 1870 tomorrow, I will short into 1690 or even 1590 and maybe then we get a little bull run until 2100.

Cable looks interresting, too, around 5250-5300...once the bears start, it can easily make another 400+ pips down from there, way below 1.50.

May add a straggler/force multiplyer @ 1812 (a blue brown)- if it gets there. 1/8th of my current position by the way, upon inspection (Stopped by the house for lunch), the large bull candle was rejected @ 1845....1844 is the blue/brown number I was going on about last week. The same one I marked WTF. You be the judge.
added - separate much smaller account in case I want to eject it. Stupid FIFO.

EUR/USD did make a new low today after breaking below the support at 1.1750, but bounced back immediately afterwards. It looks like range continues and we will have to wait a bit more before the bearish trend continues on its way down.

Same view, tho a bit higher at 1815-1825. Looking for h4 close above, otherwise tracking the same.

Oh lord... Really...? In every time frame tthere is a period where price goes side ways... People may call it ranging... But this where buyers and sellers are trying to agree a fair price before price moves again... Fibs should only be drawn post this move for potential retracement...

So from the devastation of yesterday i have completely disregarded the charts, to me they are meaningless.. all i care about is refining my system. To tune it perfectly.. thats where my energy will be concentrating on from now on, not candlesticks, moniter is switched off all day, not permanently on..

11 trades in a row GBPUSD,EURUSD,USDCHF,NZDUSD..= 110 pips profit.... and i did it not by looking at charts or candlesticks = HEAVEN

They call them candlesticks because they represented my account burning away by looking at them
