{quote} Is that 1.145 or 1.1.14415 ?
Good question....that could be 1.1415 or 1.14415

KzX quotes without the 5th digit normally, meaning 1.1415

I quote with the 5th digit normally, meaning 1.14415

MT4 comments quote with 3, 4, and sometimes 5 digits...

Yeah, you kind of have to look at the chart, see who is quoting what and see what makes sense, at first I thought KzX was saying 41.5 but realized that did not make sense with the current price and scenario, and I realized it was KzX so he means 15, telling everyone that it's too early to be buying. This would also make sense with my algo number at 1.1460 because by the time price reaches 15 or around there, the buy price should come down closer to 20ish I would surmise.

Time for me to go watch a movie and get my mind off of this for awhile.

True, last 2/3 digits are significant to me, I'm not looking at the tenth of a pip. So levels posted before 30-60-90 are 1.1430-1.1460-1.1490.

If they get back to 445 or above, I'm closing short at BE manually.

I closed my buy side with -3.7 pip as they couldn't break above that swing point, also took a EURCHF short right below the swing point, which they passed, so it's kind of worrying me in terms of where it might go since I'm now fully EUR short, if we get a simultaneous EUR bump here I'm out with a small loss.

Good thing wifie said no to watching a movie, because it allowed me to wind out of the bad trade just a couple ticks here to BE and maybe even +p

E/U buy -3.7
E/C sell -2.9
E/U sell still open max -5 / TP at +17

So max -11.6 on that really stupid misread and if Euro breaks down then +10.4 net, I can live with those numbers.

EURCHF is mixed, they bounced off S1 twice but there are also ugly wicks on H1 - small comparing to that big candle but still not giving clear view.
EUR is weak and CHF is weak atm. All you can do is to look at other pairs and try to see which one is going to remain weaker.

dumped E/C 5 mn too early, could have had a BE+1 which is what I wanted at least. OK though the E/U is still live.

shooooootz...there goes E/C down, was looking for a return to 56 originally......stick to the plan man!!!

oh well E/U also stopped, minus 11.6 on 3 total trades.

Too bad to hear. I closed EU few minutes ago at 433, don't like what indies show. I expected breakout lower before the news.

That was dumb. Market doesn't care what I want.

I'm better off waiting for my algo sigs and refining the signals and exit rules.

As it stands the next sig will be a buy currently over 60, but as we continue to consolidate here, that number will probably drop to mid 40s or low 50s, if we are closing on 1mn above the active number at that time, I'm in.
