Yeah... but too greedy with the sl, closed half to pay for s/l and got stopped out a few minutes later... friggin' hell.

Looking good now for you. For me there might be another chance at .76xx.
I guess I know your answer already, but I'd reconsider your target 7725...

At least UJ nearing my target, crossing fingers...

what target would you consider and why if I may ask?

...me and my mouth. It's just that I see a nice strong impulse. Probably a very good idea to close most of that trade at that target, but there is the tiniest chance this is the start for some higher up (.79xx, .82xx? See the monthly chart I posted). With the positive swap might be worth the risk for a small partial.

But I do apologize, I'm not in that trade and just broke my rule of only having an opinion if I also put my money where my mouth is.

An active and very good day in the markets.

For those following the swings in play from previous conversations, it was a superb half of the swing completed in oil in a clean sweep and a mild, but very pleasant, mini squeeze in the yen given how it panned out.

In the Euro nothing new for the last session of the day. Tracking 1.068x for the roll....

Well done all those swingers in oil and the mini yen from last week...

thanks Larry nothing to apologize about, your opinion appreciated.
yes, it certainly can have more legs, but the 1st one I was chasing, rather shuffle cards again after that...

It was unclear what point the protester hoped to make, but copies of the leaflets she was throwing, which later emerged on Twitter, accused the ECB of exercising “arrogance” and “autocratic hegemony”. She was identified by the police as a 21-year-old from Hamburg.
Responsibility for the protest was claimed by the feminist campaign group Femen, whose bare-breasted activists have previously targeted Vladimir Putin.

Now I'm disappointed.

It was your comment about USDJPY flirting with a breakdown that opened my eyes..
Took that stinkin' UJ and also the USDCAD (nice breakout candle out of the range... hopefully stays under 1.2380 for continuation)

Thanks for your analysis and for sharing!

je je je ... to be honest, if the lefties like her will use only 1/2 of the energy in aiming their anger to the ones that created the mess in the first place ( the last 40 years of corrupt governments and awful mismanagement of the economy), places like Greece will be Norway instead of the black sheep in the flock...

In any case, it was a definitively the highlight of a rather dull conference.

.... In the Euro nothing new for the last session of the day. Tracking 1.068x for the roll.... .. sisse
....and we rolled 1.068x as expected. Bears manage to held intraday stops by a tiny margin but held at the end. 1.066x is the level to track for the Asian session and 1.071x for the european opening range. A tick above will run stops and finally trigger a first shake this week.

Nothing to do in the euro. Same levels, same trades, same all...
