{quote} Locking in SL at +15. If it gets hit will consider another short. Otherwise letting this one ride out and will trail.
You should get hit most likely. They bounced of 50% of the bottom-top ride. If it's gonna be defended direction will be up.

Staying above that level is bullish, below bearish.

Last order stopped at +15, went short in same area at 87 looking for a retrace back to 69.
Stop at 95 will get out quickly before then.

Moved stop to 90 so max risk 3p BE+

stopped at BE.

now LONG at 87 SL 82 Target 1.0750

If you see what dax is doing today I think EU is relatively resistant to a further drop. Perhaps there is more to the upside than where it was driven during Asia. I had some longs at 99/79/70, all closed at previous drive up at 98. Now considering adding long at 90 - 88 actually which is previous small swing top.

Yup, if we get above 93 shortly here and hold above, 1.0750 is very possible.

But, I don't like this. Out at and short again at 85.

Targeting 70/73 area

It couldn't keep it above 87 and went back down below the hourly/half hourly open

Next areas are at 82 / 73 / 69

Yeah, pretty slow, no more push ups it seems, I have not taken the long, will wait for US open or if we get up there again with some momentum.

We've been so long in this range that every 15 is a small pivot now, scalp scalp scalp

Best of luck to all, I'm eyeing the bearish movement to 59's once 66 is retested (and breaks). It will be short, fast to 59's and retrace up 70+ imo.

Out at 89 back LONG at 89.5 scalp mode

87 / 93 / 98 / 04

Nice W about to take shape if it holds...

I made an impulsive dumb error of jumping out of my initial long at 87 at -2 and reversing, when I had a stop of -5 already on it at a logical location. Instead I took -2 and then -5 on the reverse at 2pips higher so actually -9p against whatever profit I will make on this one...feel dumb when I make impulsive non planned whipsaws like that.

W is holding...Moving stop to BE+

half closed at +15 rest at BE+

done for the day.

Shorts are not done yet, a test of the near lows is in place, no signs of pullbacks yet, so longs have to wait a little bit longer. I placed a sell limit at around 1.06800, as the 1.07s is unlikely today especially with the FOMC minutes as the main event. Taking profit at the 1.05 highs, where we believe a small bounce back to the next Fibo level (recent daily high/low) will take place. If the euro stocks drop of 0.5% cant draw a pullback for the euro, nothing but the FOMC has the ability, and we...
Profit taken at 1.0627, will look to sell around 1.0755, i believe euro will get 1 more push today on US open. a push beyond 1.0780 is needed to confirm a reversal retracement back to 1.09's. tightning stops on all fibo shorts.

Yep, actually when I call a number out of my ass I usually close at +15+30 or so. 770 will be visit next days, prolly not today though. 770 is 150% extension of Asia run.

Closed +10 as it reached the top of Asia run. Surprisingly won enough from longs today. Flat now.

Many opportunities to lose money with so many lines on my chart!

If this trading thing doesn't work out for you perhaps creating and selling abstract art might be profitable (abstract to non traders).
