{quote} I'm holding one short from above 800. I entered L@755 but closed it at 64. Flat with scalps on EU atm. I'll consider a L when/if they hit 735-740. Right now they are at 50% of yesterday's that's why it stopped.
you see its coming hard up now after test 750

{quote} IF hourly confirms 45 min from now, we have a huge morning star on the hourly .... potentially bullish at least until prior to news.
last 2 hourly candles still very bullish until candle converts to bearish...as is 30m

still holding long but near exit possibly

going to get a buy sig on the hourly which will consolidate all the other buys from 1mn to 60m, I may exit then, or keep depending on PA, it will either reverse there, or shoot straight up some more...

first mental impression is either a double top at 825 or a run up past 850, not sure how much more sell volume is available at 1.08 right now

This is what I meant when candles are getting big and trend is speeding up, don't counter trade after first swing.
Will send you something shortly.

Look what November does every tine. This influences EurUsd

Technical question. Is it possible to open same mt4 instance 3 times or you have to make 3 folders? If yes what do I need to change? Need 3 to tile vertically (like Pipo above) each of the 3 instrument I trade with their tf's (30m/30s/5s).

If you have a big enough monitor, you can simply tile charts horizontal or vertical and see them all at once. In mt4, Window / Tile (H or V).

If you have multiple monitors but want to only run one mt4, then I recommend using this:

Also, you might consider using a trading EA so you can have all your pairs in one central location to manage, rather than hunting for them on mt4. I use Forex Speed Up because it is easy. Free too.

Closed at 1.08 even. Got a sell sig on the 5mn, all other TFs are still in buy sig mode, but I'll take a safe and early EXIT of 40+

I'm done for the night and week.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Swing trade shows hold, but I would move catastrophic stop to 1.07766

I use an EA already (some trade management from hopwood's forum). Might consider adding a monitor in the future if the wife agrees, though she doesn't like me spending time in fx.

You mean earlier in the morning? Because now price didn't touch 12.

look at 00:00GMT . This kind of gap around 809 confirms pressure to sell off.

I'm really done for the day this time. No more trades today!!!

But I can still look at charts right?

Hourly gave a buy sig at top of hour, but it has the prior hour's huge wick it needs to fight and climb up against.
5mn is in definite short mode atm and 15mn may follow in within a half hour.
IF I were still trading and wanted to risk a bit going into the news, and if the 15mn and 5mn and 1mn lined up, I might put in a short with a tight stop.
I figure 5 and 15 and 1mn in sync with some pressure down would create an opposite evening star or dark cloud cover on the hourly for a wicked reverse back down.
It's all theoretical only.

Consolidation signal about to alert. Have to go to dentist soon, so closing so don't have to wait for it to end. Good Luck with news. Won't be online for it. 49 pips before the sun come up. Good enough
