Just shorted 3 big lots of eurusd! What is stopping this pair now?
I suspect your using an EA which I also use :-)

In any case, Parity unlocked for the larger swing move but with a fairly BULLISH weekly roll. Only level to track till the FOMC is 1.053x. A break back up opens a very tradable leg to 1.082x (with the obvious support from the FED). Noting to see to the short side at these levels until further data ...

{quote} market closed... bold for a scalper to place a trade at/near close. when spread widens to over 5 pips and thats the stop loss. . micro seconds sounds better. in out when button is pushed with a loss
This EA actually has a very very high success rate and is in the market for no more than 20 pips.

It opened up a trade for me too at 1.0492.....FINGERS CROSSED!

Hi Gatorinla,

I am learning a lot following you, Sisse, and others posts. However, I think I would have understood better if I knew your jargons better, and of course the years of experience. I can't expect you guys talk like non-pros, but perhaps you could recommend some topics/key considerations for me to research on my own?
I am reading some books in the meantime, and I do have degrees in economics and finance, and was a top performer academically.
Specifically I cannot understand what kind of implications the closings of the daily, weekly, monthly have on the next session...I have seen you and Sisse discussing it...

Thank you!!

Looks like at least a short term low is in place for the beginning of next week. In my opinion price will visit 1.0545 before possibly breaking lower.

if that ea has a clock setting.. this time of the day (Friday) for a 20 pip scalp is bad business. first off spread is probably 10 pips. second gaps can go either way. if u get one against u, on a scalp size trade. by Sunday u may have a margin call. its non of my business, just friendly advice

I wouldnt call it a scalp......it has a 110 pip stop loss. Very risky for 20 pips but has a 94% success rate. Just hope this one doesnt fall into the 6%.

Why suddenly a fairly bullish weekly roll??? How do you reach such conclusion? What should I look at????? I get the fundamentals, but the technical part really puzzles me. I am reading books. Don't just want free lunch.

Thank you!

Yeah Im running an experiment with this trying to take a 1k account as far as I can go trading 3 lots. So far so good. This is not scalping, just price action. scalping wil take place monday morning for me but yes trades are opened and in seconds will be in profit. Sometimes hits loss but that is fine.
All posts are my personal opinion

Hi Sisse, I was redirected by Gatorinla to you for my question. Don't wanna take too much of your time. But would be grateful if you could give me a hand to start off on the right track. Thank you!

ufff thats a rather long discussion we can chat during the calm hours of trading but right now is way too late in a Friday night for that.

The last post was aim to more experience traders sorry if it got a bit contradictory at first glance. Lets just say 2 basic concepts:

  1. Green Bar / Red Bar doesn't necessarily mean bullish/bearish because of the colour. You always need context. Context is given by fundamentals first, macro direction second and current direction last. Only the proper analysis of the correct mix and match of those will give you the proper context of price not the colour of a bar.
  2. Technicals only come after. One can be wrong in point 1 however a solid TA background will allow you to minimise risk measuring the right timing for the entries....so in the worst case scenario you are aiming on missing the train if you are wrong rather than paying a early ticket for the just in case...

It may sound a bit cryptic for now but its late and i am tired so if you are serious you can be sure that not only me but some other of the real honest traders around will follow a conversation in their free time...
