Prey for double top instead of a flag on dollar then MT4 is heavy, still don't understand why it's used by the most.
3rd times a charm LONG EURUSD at 20.3

For whatever it's worth, 1mn on USD is seriously diverging

If I'm gonna eat it here, I'd rather lose 10 to 12 pips close to nailing a possible swing, instead of chasing a move and getting whipsawed. Next few min will determine the outcome, but USD looks strong.

USD just gapped down. Had I waited 20 min, would have saved 10 pips. But I'll take it as it is, looks good now

taking my chances of getting whipped here, but got out with minus 3p and reversed SHORT.

USD just did a funky gap down and then gap up, almost a perfect island reversal and run away gap up, hardly ever see those, especially on a 1 min.

I meant, when indies like RSI are cooling down without price movement it probably means continuation. You can think of it as 'gathering strength' for further move down.

Not liking this at all.

BTW, does anyone know of or is aware of a EURO index? It doesn't have to be tradeable, just want to compare to USDX in real time. Was wondering if it would be worth developing a synthetic USDX and a synthetic EURX based on bar to bar percentage movement and compare them. Anyone ever do this or have experience with this?

Don't bother with this index, just another distraction which you don't need.


Oh and here you got that continuation

Depends where you live and what time you have available for trading. I trade € / London open and New York open takes around 2 hours for €/London and around 2 hours for New York.I live in UK so for me that is no problem and rest of my life fits around that and never open computer over weekend.
Happy trading

10:15 still early but looks like a bunch of buy stops were just hit at 1.1350, possible trap for those long there.

10:29 Short here at 42.

not liking the lower pin bar beginning to form on the 5mn, but hard stop at 51.5 and TP at 22.

so far lucky on this one, had a feeling they were going to 50 again and I had placed the stop at 52.5 instead, about a spread plus a pip above 50, see if it holds here.

Now I like the doji pin at the TOP of the 5mn instead, oh yeah.

Just in case this trade goes sour and I get stopped. I have a buy stop just outside OR with a TP to 1.1380.

Opening range set to 320-350
Above: 380-410
Below: 290-260

Lots of FED talking in the afternoon so be careful for sentences like: 'Defenitely this year' or 'We consider postponing for the next year'

GL!

.

minus 10 on the short,
long now at 53 targeting 80, stop at 43, we are outside OR now, if it stalls at 65 or dips there, will TP early.

new member FEO might be so right today.

Hope it goes well. Target more than 1.14 if you take half off. I am interested in your well being, with multiple shorts on dax
