EURUSD was not too favourable market today to place any trades and it is the same for a couple of days already, it is better to look at other pairs.

Have you ever touched a live snake? They are cold blooded and therefore their body temperature is low. You don't feel warmth of life holding them. Sometimes you don't even know if you were bitten by them and where. This is how I feel about scalping.

SONS mostly, GS and some AIG.

Was new- didn't know my ass from my forehead. Had little experience trading some equities, and jumped right into options, followed people much smarter than I, and usually got lost.

Wow- those were the days. I almost gave up trading after that. Thankfully I didnt.

... you sure did pick a ruckus of a period to start out trading them ... and in those names
I try to stay hedged whenever I run options positions , as much as possible...so the risk is pretty mitigated albeit high-maintenance,but worth it...

Brent Possible bounce at 62.75 Bfly Sell H4 + WR1, I would like 64.53, .447 D1 + MR2, that should come in a few days if first target doesn't stop it. On the downside, break of the low of today will bring 56.64.
1.27 Extension reached, 1.618 stands at almost 63.00

According to news at http://af.reuters.com/article/invest...0LS0S820150224, South Africa enjoyed an economic growth of 4.1% in 2014 Q4. I want to short on EUR/ZAR or USD/ZAR to aim at their large swap interests. EUR/USD is currently to low, so I guess the current price level will go up further.

{quote}. ...Dax corrects, running for 11200 test,

I wouldn't recommend most of the people reading here trading DAX. Its a very expensive and advanced instrument in terms of volatility. If you don't have a VAST experience trading and a rather large capital and portfolio the "beast" will spank you in less time than you start learning the ropes of its behaviour.

If you want to get serious about equities and indexes start with a lot more liquid and slower futures instruments like the FESX in the european sessions and later start exploring the leading "King" across the board: the ES.

Not to judge you but I have been reading in the thread quite a few posters mentioning DAX for trading(some just gambling). If you have the slightest problem with discipline and loose money management (e.g martingale ,and crap like that) STAAAY AS FAR AS possible from the DAX... my 2 cents ....

Agree. Oil is starting to align for a clean leg to $60.xx, sadly in the last pullback euro didn't even blink down and now they are starting to have divergent trading setups which is a pain for any leg in the euro.

Monthly flows will do the trick but I prefer a extended chop zone in oil around these levels while euro complete the leg down ....

Ok mate, thank you for fair warning, I know volatility in stocks can kill me, enter with very low positions and have stops already set while entering, so I dont fack up. Still, am a bit afraid, and there is a reason. Is just am watching those stocks for a very long time already, years, and always were afraid to enter. But my new trading plan consists of diversification of portfolio between more instruments,.. most are ofc currencies, the major liquid ones, but since QE am trying to gain exposure in German stocks, and also am gonna send some to real estate fund.

Am afraid of that Dax though, I listen.

{quote} GBPUSD This is cable H4 chart, last Monday good chance to sell straight from MR1 and then later from WR1 but price returned to the upside, so reversal or bounce? At first sight it looked like market could come to support at 1.5280 area but it stopped at .5 Ret level and went back up, so .5 + WPP were able to sustain the fall which indicates that move to 1.5540 D1 Fib level and overbought is possible and R:R is very good for a sell position. This PA looks like a 3 Bear Drives (we had a few last year) on H4 1.618 Ext + D1 .707 Ret level. If...
GBPUSD
Good Sell off today but price returned to the upside to resolve unfinished business maybe a touch of .5 Ret D1 whole swing, so now 1.5550 is the threshold and I will close any short positions and draw another trading plan for this pair.
Ideally you can wait for the touch + rejection candle and enter the market if you don't have any open position.
