{quote} Hello forexcube, Impressive trading. Is there any particular method you use for entries and exits and what stop loss do you keep? Thanks amfx

Yes, but I can't explain it in a few sentences.
Sometimes it's the lenght of H1 or H4, then there are some fibs, and there are supports and resistances at different time frames and the flexible risc profile.
Moreover I trade the same currency pair short term, medium term or longer term, most in a bundle (basket) with other currency pairs.
Today - the H4 candles are shaping a DAX range. So I can also wait for an outbreak in the next time and trade within these tops and bottoms in the meanwhile.

Thanks Forexcube - picked up +50 on your call - was going to leave it after +210 today, and appreciate your call - +260 today!.

I don't post here very often - however Dax has made my month - some great longs and a few nice shorts. (not my preferred strategy) prefer looking for Longs.

i have no idea anymore what's going on and what the market is pricing in right now...
1. last night when the Greek politicians started begging for a deal they did nothing more but made a mockery of the referendum, and the Greek people.
2. if there is going to be a referendum, and the market is pricing an "Yes" vote to that, what is the issue that the people are going to vote on????
or maybe the markets realized that the Greek politicians will take any deal now, after 2 days of banks being closed, and 3 more to come....

Looks like we might drop first today. I've got the trend line running through the 76.4% @ 10,965, so that's one level I'll be looking at for a turn around if we do go down, though S1 at 10,889 is also possible. On the up side, although the 15m 200ema held the price all day yesterday, that should break today as we are narrowing down into an apex, so I'll be looking to the 30m 200ema @ 11,162 currently, and above that 11,215 which is the H1 200ema, with R2 just above at 253. Either way, I expect the price to knock around between these levels.

There's also immediate support around 11,022 ( 5m 200ema/sma) so watch out for that

Been playing around on the 10sec period on dax and eu (yeah ashamed of it ). Seems like an excellent tf to get the moves and fib bounces on short term. Thanks for the idea Still can't handle 3 sec though.

yeah, you have to have an innate schizophrenic tendency to get to grips with it

Clockwork moves. Only when liquidity falls after London close and until Frankfurt it sucks to get stuck in a position.

A quick hot tip before I forget. Watch out for a pattern where a major Ma comes over the top of a falling price ( & vice versa) You can see this now on the 10sec TF as the 100sma came over the top. The price will very often retrace to it to give you a great entry, enter after the first negative candle as the price usually moves away very quickly, and this works on any TF.

A more level headed assessment of "Grexit --- What if?" and the likely consequences.

I have always found the boys from Danske to be reasonably consistent and less prone to exaggeration than many other "experts", this is possibly due to the fact that "Prozac" is clearly added to the water supply in Scandinavian countries.

Well, not in the old days when I had a nubile Danish girlfriend....

Very good article nonetheless, thank-you for posting it dee50. I am amazed to find myself agreeing with the Greek government approach, as there is no possible way Greece can meet the troika's (ECB, IMF & EC) demands, simply because the situation has got so far out of control (= Greece debt is unpayable by Greece).

Soros' article of 2012, in which he proposed that Germany leave the eurozone, seems more relevant than ever. Here's the interview he did with Spiegel shortly afterwards : http://www.georgesoros.com/interview...e_euro_crisis/
