Less volatility today, it moves in 20s so far. 70>50, retrace, 58>38>58 +-2p
Just an observation

Took another long at 437 now bid at 469 we may have bottomed here for the day?
Still holding on the dip to 53, looking to go up and test 72/73 again?

Less volatility is fine with me, more preferred as long as it moves...that's the main thing...just move...

Anything above 46 here is bullish for me.

{quote} I am with you at 394 but it doesn't look good until we get a close above daily open.
Closed +20 @59, waiting for more drop to open a long, not sure about shorts today.

Missed the chance, now looking for shorts at around 1.1090-1.1105-1.1120.

I'm too dumb to NOT sell for a nice profit and may regret it, but gonna hold till at least close or 46 which is +3p, it's been as high as +20p for me here, so let's see if I sacrificed 17p or if it pops through 70 towards 1.11

I'd say anything above 50% of yesterday's daily.

20p is respectable, right now beginning to regret I didn't take 20 too maybe

There's a good chance you'll get it again, it's still riding up the wave like yesterday after the news, sometimes it drops momentarily to 100sma/200ema but it seems to want to keep going.

Thing is...I don't want 20p, I'm looking for 50+ on this trade

Maybe you will get it, depends on 73. After 73 there is not much besides 1090 and 1110. Don't expect a higher retrace pre-fomc, unless they wish to shake shorts out till the event.

At least at 90 you will have 37+26 so there's your 50+.

I have been messing with the dax again, should just cut the habit. Halved my small daily profit in 2 trades.

20Up 10Down 20Up 10Down and so on...


Not gonna hold a position for a longer period as it retraces 50% after every swing - it's a lot, even if you look at m1 mini trend.
When retraces are 30%, the trend is more stable.
Scalping's safer before FED.

Bought 60, sl 50.

Seems like it's gonna be a quick sl.

Tried a GU long too but hit sl before the 1m even closed.

sl hit on EU too.

In again at 48, sl below daily pivot at 40, tp anywhere with profit (60 would be good). Closed at 555.

Short now 53, sl 60, tp 1.10. sl hit.

Up move starting again? Reloading.

The 15 mn bullish candle is much more serious than the bearish one 30mn ago.

We're gonna pop 1.11 this time.

Ahhhh. If we put in a sandwich on the 15mn, it's a tough call.

Could be a fake. Or just keeping with the trend which is what US does besides yesterday.

Just look at the chart, not the data, we're before FED, EU is SUPER bearish after those two massive Daily candles.
I tried to warn you that you should be careful with longs today, this 'trend' was stinky as the retraces were too big.

I posted in the other thread, 3 weeks ago, what may happen in October, it's materializing so far.
