Great trades! I have an ambitious target on UC of 12535 based on trendline breakout.

It could very well bust up.....but yesterday High is just abive the 10 d ATR (1.23736) so I took my profits and happily returned to the sidelines

when a currency pair is not in an established strong trend nor has a fundamental news thrust, I respect the 10d ATR...sometimes leaves $ on the table, but it is uncanny how many times the pair respects that level.....especially on new highs or lows established at a session open.
The UCAD turned at the low today almost exactly at the 10d ATR (1.22766). Now it has touched the top of the 10 d atr.

Hey mate check your eurusd 4hr chart. 100sma. We recently closed below 100sma. Look back at what that line has done in the past. It has determined the trend. In my opinion eurusd is now bearish. Any rally or attempt to stay above that line will be fraustrated by 100sma

today could be a big turn point for EJ. Currently the hourly just broke uptrend since mid April. A daily close below 138 could see much lower going forward. My system got me short at 138.38.....took half off at 138.05.... Trailing rest on hourly PSAR.

Very busy morning, but I did see what you mean. I was avoiding EUR pairs after yesterday's drama. However, I saw the impulse move and the sharp retrace - which I think confirms the downside. ie. it wasn't a straight line down. In at 138.35

best trading this past session was smacking the Swiss vs the commodity currencies after their central banker jawboning. Should have also hammered it vs the YEn, but already short EJ.

Next up....wait for the market to pick a direction for the session at the top of the next hour post US Eco numbers.

BTW,

If anyone's interested, here is my guide to select currency pairs to trade. It is the same CSM on a 5,15,60 and 240 minute time frames. It is a very good guide
