OK, so there appears to be some USD strength in other pairs, what's the possibility of that materializing with EURUSD here soon? Maybe they wanted to take it up and collect longs at/near last Friday's high? That would be diabolical and in hindsight, so obvious. Hoping, I'm right this time. Sorry Sakisf, I was with you long at V and for most of the run up, but, I've joined the other side here.

I don't know. I focused on oceanics. GBP/NZD was the best shot for now, NU goes so so but in profit, AU - profit but tiny (waiting here).

We've just hit the pocket at 87. Longs are hoping for a retrace back up. Shorts are hoping this thing continues to sell off and that was the high for the rest of the week. Those that bought at 95 are wondering what the hell just happened. (sorry, been there done that too, but not today).

Those USD pairs in prof...that's a good sign for EUR/USD shorts right now if this becomes more broad based we'll see dollar buys or strength there to and will confirm EURUSD direction for now.

Got a wicked downtrend on the 1min right now, strongest trend of the day, IF this thing materializes over to the 5 and 15min...

We're at 80 which is where they pushed it up to 95 from. There were sitting buys here at the time, of course no sells here going down, but the buyers have run for cover. It's just a matter of time before they capitulate and sell what they have left. Otherwise if I'm wrong here...big players run it up again from here, but with who?

Put a BE+halfpip SL out there...if they take it,ehhhh, if they don't, means they're not interested in buying it back at this level...a good sign.

Anyway, my boss, I mean my wife wants me to run an errand for her. So maybe later. Otherwise, good luck.

So far have only taken one small hit on a minor hedge that I released on the previous swing up...current order is above BE, hopefully can ride this one closer to targets. Feeling pretty on it right now. Hopefully won't get cocky or desperate for more later. I'll keep swinging for the fences but be grateful and take a bunt if I need to. SanVulture, you still short? Because if they take out that upper wick of the 5mn candle less than an hour ago...
thanks for asking.. ya, im still short.. like i said, its a smaller lot.. i can let it go even 100p negative.. i have an event in my home, so cant trade well.. have my relations and kids here.. gotta have fun.. money will come later.. cya guys later..
Dont trade like me..

Enjoy. BTW, I don't know of ANY real scalping method that allows for 100p negative....4 digit broker or 1000 on 5 digit broker.

Was thinking that any buy algos would want in here at 70 again and push for 30 to 1.14 but since that drop was vicious, not sure they're going to let them run.
5 and 15mn and even 1 min are in oversold territory, and starting to turn but price has not confirmed strongly yet and you would think it would under normal conditions, but not sure this is normal right now. Another custom indie I have says we are still in a downtrend a strong downtrend on the 5mn. So we are getting mixed signals here. Price is the ultimate confirmer here now. Also not sure how those other USD pairs that KzX is trading today, but if he is still holding short and in profit, that can'tbe a good sign for long EURO. Anyway,we are getting close to my projected ORMid today and if we break that floor, then any longs still holding here and hoping for that post 1.14 high run will be in for a shock. Oh, and my short is still intact, they wanted nothing to do with that stoploss order I gave them. My TP is now on the opposite side to today's potential range, and will trail just outside the relevant SR zones.

62 is your mid? I have three mini 1m gaps on 81 (1) and 94 (2), aiming for them. When price leaves them back it's like paving the way to grab them later. 58 will stop me from getting them.

I've done that before many times, sometimes it works out awesome when you wake up, and sometimes you just go back to sleep.

585 is my projected ORmidlevel today that gets plotted at Asia open. I compare that with actual ORmid but usually it's enough and gives me a different look.

Today I think we traded up through it 3 times and would be interesting to see what the market does with it going down through it from the weekly high. At least it's interesting while I'm still in it.

That's good cause they can turn them on now...

Anyone care for another run to 95? Second time could be the charm??

BTW, out of my short with plus pippage. Guess where I'm targeting now...These guys are just too diabolical today.

Welcome. OR = opening range, or operating room if you're on the wrong side of the trade in that zone.

btw, I think most answers will be found in previous posts, we just got started with this about a week ago...

all the best
