That is VERY nice info, thanks of interesting point of view. To me, hmmm, I'm not a fundamentalist, some make good decisions based on fundies but not on EU.
I remember parity parrots 5 months ago, all 'fundies' were pointing 1.0 or lower > US great economy, superb numbers, QE in EU, Greece in the ditch etc.
It came out it was all priced in! as BB are always few steps ahead and from that moment EU rallied 1200p from bottom...

Anyway if they go for hikes which is stupid they will cause intentional crysis. If not, well, nothing's gonna change.
If you want to trade EU using fundamentals, good luck. I'll stick to the chart only.

I honestly don't know what's gonna happen. Naked chart says it should retrace a bit and then fall like a rock.
1.11 was a BIG decision point on my chart, it was the mid of the whole range, respected many many times.
It has not been tested from the bottom so far which is odd - it should be - I'm waiting for that. BIG S/Rs are
tested after they get broken in MOST of the cases.

Some indies (RSI daily, MACD H4) have been pointing UP for two days - they lie when the trend is strong but it may be similar situation when we were crossing 1.14.
I was aiming at reversal around 1.146 and been fooled by 30p - tried to be too accurate before big move.

One more thing, if the S/R is not tested then BIG runaway gap is the option, it's rare but happens.

My craziest invention yet. I've never seen anything like it. Just took a scalp with it at 65.5 (at the lime thick mark below) about 10 minutes ago. UPDATE: Totally lucky timing on that move, but I looked at the 5mn after the move started and it seems it had it pegged from the 40s this morning... {image} {image}

To me it's just 30-60 OR > 15p above bounce at 75 > 90 next level above OR. It also covers with your 85, 5p is not a biggie.

I'm glad everyone thinks I'm nuts....that to me is a very good sign that I *might* be on to something that *might* work for me, was never one to follow crowds

Do you use molanis or quantfx for your indis or write your code?

Let me know if 1090 gives you a sell, I plan one there with sl 96, tp 60.

Actually took it at 88, sl 98 for now. tp 60.

Sorry I can't disclose how it's made, how I use it...still trying to figure it out...but it's like playing a visual video game (I'm not a gamer).

What it doesn't tell me is more important at the moment, it doesn't show individual high and low of each bar or candle...but it does show me recent trend and slope of direction and whether move is still up or down. Individual candles have come to the point of kicking me out of trades too soon and putting me in bad trades.

Yeah, 1mn says close, but 5mn and others seem like they're just getting going?

Volatility is still in play here, swing from 88/90 is not a swing down yet, just a pull back. We would need a strong close below 75 to make it a swing down. Signs are still pointing up.

I entered another long at 76.8 just now. Less than 10p SL

was hoping you were going to say 05 since you are right 9 out of 10 times.

I got out at BE+1

Sold at 75.9
