I know it may sound ridiculous but a big stinky 100p dump from here would be perfect for the healthy trend reasons.
Can't it wait till Friday? It shouldn't be healthy anyway. A better reason to short the crap out of it later.

Hope so, shorted the bounce down off of the 1445 level, currently down 4 pips.

nice gap up but follow through up is weaker than I would have thought, a lot of guys wishing they had not closed their original non stopped longs are pissed at themselves right now.

but it makes sense in hindsight, news trends on U.S. data have been not dollar friendly lately.

It's waiting for GU to decide 5480 (EU up too) or 5380 (EU retrace to 1420).

If you expect a big drop just put 35p stop and leave it. If you're not sure don't gamble.

Small short at 14.46. I do not think this is going to 14.60-80 today. s/l at be. 14.40 WAS THE GOAL.

well that depends on our exits and TP...but more importantly...how do you keep nailing entries within 3p of major swing highs and lows??? I've seen your charts and indies and pretty much know your levels and where you're targeting but still...come on...amazing...consistent...it's like you have the market speaking to you.

I just saw a bearish wolfie on M1, tiny ascending traiangle

[Edit] and that was my termination point. Not greedy, gotta see a proper signal on higher TF.

Yeah, right on, you nailed this scalp. Pretty soon we will all be asking you and learning from you....nice job...btw, how did you pick that time and spot to go through with it?

I was shooting for 17 tp here, but may pull it with 7...

didn't get it, earlier exit than I had hoped 3.5p

Long again from 409 10SL and 7TP

Maybe I can still come and collect your s(ou)l(s). Been lucky already twice there. Expecting a small pierce now to get me out.

a pierce to the highs to catch more longs and reverse again will get me out of this new long at tp...a move to the minor swing low again takes me out.
