Long again from 40. Should consider trading with 40p SL, but would that be considered scalping?

{quote} Could have juiced more of it. Think we are heading down to nfp low+. Now have to wait retrace or just sit on my hands. Actually the second since I am going to the tax office to try and evade one tax as a good Greek Sold 435, sl 51 and I am out. {image}
Closed +8, now really out.

I put wide stops (25-30p) at first too when taking trades on 30m then narrow them down once I switch to 1m/30s.

Thank you. Hint received. Take profit of long at 40 at 55/56.
15p. Don't be greedy.

I putzed around with some indie I found and modified it thinking it would help. All it did was mess me up today. I'll just stick with my custom made SR lines.

I'm not sure what's gonna happen, everything's in the middle.
If I was a retailer and long I'd put my stop at 710-715 > If I was a MM I'd hunt that stop

slightly different perspective on this scalping thread. Monthly chart looks seriously congested for the last 8 months. Its looking for break-out .

USJP looks like it's going to make a run for 125 which could mean down for EUUS

a move to 710 would be a whole new short cycle to 1.06x, I think it's going to happen but I'll be out well before then. thank god mm's can't move the market independently of the market. hunting a stop 25+ pips away mean a whole freakin intraday swing and more

Selling some GU. Missed the 30s drop of 4p so +4 on my stop (5110-5120sl). Since nothing is moving maybe I can get away with 10p sl. Got rid of one property tax so it's a win even if I lose all my trades today

nice observation and call. got out of a short and reversed long around there

although we need a poke and trades above 33 and 36 to make it stick. those are opens and mids from 12:00...the second 12hr cycle of the day

betting on at least 20 from the swing low

12hr mid which is also 4hr mid from 12:00 is very sticky at 33, from there we have the opens for the same periods at this time at 36.

2hr open support from 14:00 is at 28, a little congestion and a 10p+ blast in EITHER direction...

No, just asked because he didn't give tp I can hardly find a trade over 10 in any pair atm.

pa is stinky right now if it weren't for that W like formation at 20 to 24, I'd go short this action, instead I will wait patiently like a good scalper and hopefully be rewarded for it.

I shorted CADJPY in the morning but closed it after a drop. The only tradable currency today was pound (buy). I am not sure how much more strength they have.

funny thing is...100p from here is actually feasible. this EUR/USD is real funny sometimes.

there's probably enough short volume at spread out intervals that just the incremental covering would move this to 1.0820

Just had a touch of that 12hr open, now need to blast through it.

If it does, new swing up.

If if doesn't, it was a 15p PB back to short.
