EURUSD

no...no scaling in...i buy when i get a signal even if theres more than one
plus on the monthy chart goin way back when its at multiple supports...wich mt4 had quarterly or yearly charts but anyways with such a spillover in price now thatt support i dont even think a .25 fed rate hike would have any effect except to send price hier....a better shorting opportunity rests at the test of resistence of that inverse h+s neckline around .1800 to .1900...maybe if a comet hit the earth we'd see parity this year or next LOL

Weekly suggests 1.08-~1.14 - possible compressing triangle. Eg. maybe go high then go 1.05 if 1.08 breaks... IDK

I previously said that it seems preferable to close around the close and open around the open than to hold, so whatever the chart patterns are, holding for longer times just seems a bit risky unless you really know what you're doing and have a reason to do so. I think this range could go for a while and hoping for breakouts and sell low buy high stuff just doesn't seem too smart (except if you can still scale in after that bad entry and that gets into interesting scale-in + position sizing stuff that I don't see much threads and backtests for... wonder why that is).
Two technical questions not directly related to EUR/USD (or any other pair). And for both of these, if there's already a forum or something where I can find these answers, you can just point me there if you'd rather. So...

1) Is there some way to increase the size of the font in the "terminal" (where open and closed trades are listed) at the bottom of the MetaTrader platform. Also increasing the font size of the y-axis of the charts (price) would be nice! I have other issues with MetaTrader, which I only recently was forced to start using, but this is a big one.

2) In the Trade Explorer here at FF, is there some way to export/save the "trade list" to something like Excel? All I've been able to do is copy/paste and I wind up with a MESS when I put it in Excel.

Thankee!

{quote} I do not treat cloggy as a FX god. And what cloggie thinks has nothing to do with what I think
You are entitled to your opinion, but Cloggie's position at least has logic to it.

Because there is the carry trade, in which hedge funds borrow low interest currencies to invest in higher yielding assets (stocks and stock market indexes being a prime example of such assets), and because we know that the total volume of Forex traded is many times the actual volume generated by international trade (i.e the rest is probably generated by speculators), it makes sense that the biggest movements will, in fact, be when those other assets that speculators are interested in are bought and sold (i.e when the major stock markets open).

Attila, if I remember correctly, used 10, not because of what market is or is not opening at that hour, but that he wouldn't place a trade until after 10am NY time, because that's the NY cut for options, and he had observed that crazy and illogical movements can happen due to options defense/hedging, and then be reversed after the cut.

{quote} It's Friday (profit taking). And end of the month. I've read that EOM flows from Britain to the EU usually support the Euro. (check EG today.) I also once did a study (about a year ago) where I counted what happened on the last day of the month in EURUSD and (although unfortunately I dont have it any more) that was mostly true. Even where the day was one in a strong down trend and ended negative, that mostly happened after London went home, while during the day it went up.
I will be surprised if we don't close below last month's open by the end of the day.

Bingo. By only half a pip but still they manged it.

These two are starting to look very similar

{quote} ohlc outside TL I guess, and trendline is nothing else than part of the schiff modiffied pitchfork of high/low/high or L/H/Lbut that's another subject..
my point was mainly, its quit evident a break it one's perception of what a trendline is. it has to have one, having doubts it was really a trendline, in the first place. if a trendline is broken 5 times, why would anyone think its a trendline, with more than little or no value? or even if it was a trendline in the first place.. i doubt a break on a line, on a chart fits most peoples definition of a trendline after it happens 5 times.. a line between 2 points is just a line between 2 points. we extend it and call it a trendline. but if its not containing a trend by allowing it to cross 5 times.. it wouldn't fit my definition.. one thing about a level.. u cant try to make it fit, it either does or not very little grey areas/

{quote} You got my vote. When the Euro was up to 1.40xx's there was no justification for it. Both the USD and the EAU were pumping the quantitative easing machine at full capacity. Both currencies values are basically garbage but the perceived values are what they are. Each take their turn at the top and the bottom. The benefit on top is a strong currency. The downside is it can hurt the economy because it's at a high valuation point. The problem with the USD is that it's vulnerable. If China wanted to dump their dollars, it would devastate the...
and china dumping usd would destroy china. so whats the point.. a usd is china buying stock in the u.s. they dont want to destroy that stock price. the stock price of a country buying a larger portion of their exports, more than anyone else. china would lose that silly argument hands down,, than a chain reaction to all those commodity countries..emu etc.

Explanation of the Greek bailout

It is a slow day in a little Greek village. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted.
Times are tough: everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the village, stops at the local hotel and lays a 100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.
The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the 100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the 100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the 100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.
The guy at the Farmers Co-op takes the 100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the taverna.
The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him services on credit.
The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the 100 note.
The hotel proprietor then places the 100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the 100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory,
pockets the money, and leaves town.
No one produced anything, no one earned anything.
However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the bailout package SHOULD work.

Hi Guys,

Gator, ken, all experts,

I am studying some moves in FX market.. Is there any ways to know the hourly moves ( by pips ) ? How many pips By each hour ? FF open and London open, NY open give maximum hourly moves as it happened on last Friday. Attached is the chart.

I am trying to form a method to catch those hourly moves. If I know which hour gives maximum pips, I can trade on those hours, so my question.

I agree with your point. However I would add that trendiine that some try to make it fit is actually qualified as "inner trendline" or I like to call it a frequency line. You can also call it a gann line or whatever… They seem to be broken many times but in a way still respected. That's why subjectivity here with a lot of experience plays a big role and that's how it should be imo...

{quote} Hi Scott, thank you. Looks good, we have new WR1 + MR3 same place, this could probably work out for nice bounce before any move higher as current fundamentals support weaker CAD.I am looking to buy lower (1.2884) targeting that level.
USDCAD
Taking out of the highs will lead this pair to his next destination at 1.3180, breakout hasn't happened yet but when it does, I expect bounce from that level as it is 1.618 Ext AB-CD D1 (similar to setup on EURUSD H1 on Thursday) when the time comes closer will look to see where the new pivots for Month, Week and Daily for added confluence and less risk.
There is also Weekly setup (price bounced previously off 1.27 Ext) if that level fails and before 1.34 I don't see anything else.

Hi bro, in my opinion is impossible to measure this, you can not measure market by hour, even adr fails sometimes....

it all depends on how much buyers/sellers are clicking the button and if bankers/hedgefunds are doing it too
