Sorry to post late, but we did talk about 17xx yesterday....watching the 4 hour close (especially this last 30 mins) for hints on direction...bears should want to close as low as possible.. {image}
Missed that part.

Yep...damn travel! Had me plan ready to roll and couldn't execute. Was hoping for calm, cool and collected...but a wee bit flustered now.

Will see if I can get it back on track. Deep breaths.

Hey-oh...bit of action I see. Charts AND gobshites! Had a half-lot AU fill...while in the air, I think. Have pulled 40% in two partials. Just now have a chance to plan how I'm going to manage the rest... {image} Was looking for a larger fill at .7533...no joy...but no DD, either. Price hung up on H1 200EMA right now. See how she goes.
Nice trade..If you have a soldier still in there I would leave him to swim along

Weekly view:
We are consolidating right under the WEEKLY 1000 MA. A very strong area.
I am a big fan and use the candle midpoints (especial weeklies and daily's)... so the mid point of this week is 0.7614..
This is the price that should not break down to the downside in order for continuation upstairs.
The mid point of last week's candle is 0.7657.. obviously tht is the next Resistance..
Above that 0.7735/40 which is the 1000 MA...
Above that 0.7840 the mid of the Weekly pinbar (3 weeks ago)
Above that the I am making a bold statement and saying we will reach the YEARLY Pivot 0.8400 area.

All of that of course assuming we don't get rate hikes in the USD and Rate reduction in AUD any time soon (at least not in 2015..)
(Pretty bold assumption...)

We all know anything is possible..
I am looking to long the pair based on said levels

Good luck!

1.0618ish area would be great for a long.... Dax got killed, looks like it should go up a bit, still severely overbought LT, but soon enough an opportunity should arise as always..

Good stuff...nice overview!

Yep...I'm definitely looking to add on this one. Will do so anywhere toward today's low (or sooner with a sign) and beyond, to April 2nd's low...with stops not far below there. I've taken enough out of this trade to pay for my stops down to .7525ish...so a free run of sorts now.

Cheers mate...pip it up!

Yeah...little bummed my short PO didn't fill, but...can't get them all. Short appeal has worn off for me a tad, because I didn't get the top (or near). I may sit on my hands till the ECB does their thing. That is free...and stress free.

Eying DAX too. Should have done PIP Lover's Yearly R3 yesterday! Going to sit DAX out until I'm back full time around May 15th...unless something screams at me! Give me a nudge if you see it!

After that, if closed below, I'm done for the day- positioned for tomorrow. SL above the high and let it ride or die. BE after the retest 0693

Have longerterm chart and levels if anyone interested, probably not much help today. For those long as levels discussed yesterday, I wish you success and the lack of completion.

{quote} Steady, my friend. Think you'll struggle to find clearer point to point analysis than sisse's anywhere...never mind on Forex Factory. I'm struggling to even recall a time I've seen a typo. Possibly a language misunderstanding through your interpretation of his analysis, but please...try not to rustle his feathers. The man is a gem and his invaluable offerings are graciously free of charge. Rare breed. Anyway...enjoy.
Thanks for the advice my friend, though you got it all wrong . I was not talking about typo error. JUst the language and he has explained in clearer terms to me. No doubt he is a guru and I am not roughing his features as you stated. You can see his profile page, before now I had expressed and appreciate his professionalism, rare gem that he is. I am really happy I came across person like him.

Is cool, mate. Its audio work (music mostly...sometimes film...sometimes music FOR film ). I've done it for years. Has been VERY kind to me...but can be a killer when working on large projects. This is my last one...until the next one.

I kid, I kid. I'm not going to retire from it, but am going on an indefinite hiatus. I'm sick to death of traveling...and uprooting from continent to continent for a year at time...type of deal. The fun and $ just aren't cutting it anymore. Also looking like I could be competing for the milk fund with PTL fairly soon. Don't know if I'm more nervous about being a daddy...or going up against that bastard for the milk!

Anyway...wraps up on May 15th in Vancouver. NYC, LA, Vancouver, Dublin, Vancouver before then. Also trying to move everything (personal belongings) to Vancouver from Dublin in that one trip. May not be able to do it...so may have to do one more Dublin-Vancouver trip after the 15th. One last hectic stretch!

Oddly...I've never been to VA. Just about everywhere else on the east coast...but no VA.

You aren't the only one that has trouble understanding it. It started off as greek to me, now it's closer to spanish. Sisse speaks the professional language of traders, hard to understand if you haven't read many books on the subject or been in an institutional atmosphere.

It'll come to you with time, and obviously asking him as you did to explain- never had any trouble with sisse answering questions when asked nicely.

If you think his language is confusing, try reading one of his charts! All the best, I'll pop in later on today

Glad to hear our business is successful. Many many many people in your profession can't say the same- especially to work internationally- you must be a great person to be around.

And good luck with the soon to be! plus move etc. You aren't missing much in VA...Texas is better....

Speaking of Texas...where are the bastards from that region? They're MIA
