After I posted that I was thinking that you were going to wait until 30 to counter.

Since it bounced at 33, and now on it's way back down, it may just blow down past 30, I think 15 is the next possible PB zone and if not 15, then 02/03.

If it doesn't bounce again here soon at/above 33, now is the most logical place for a bounce...

Now thinking 15, then run up to 25/28 then trade down to 02/03, then consolidate between 02/15

Added another short at 47.

If offer goes over 55, I'll close both shorts.

Both now closed -8 and +56

Now LONG from 55 (which is what I should have done 15p ago) oh well. AUDUSD has turned up on both 5m and 1m and I'm *anticipating* EURUSD to follow...

After I entered I realized there's gonna be one more gentle push, that swing to 40 was too fast.
Loaded one more lower.
Anyway, I was able to get out with profit.

960 area is the key here - yesterday's daily MID, it should be tested again.
Most traders who went long yesterday trail their stops below daily mid if the candle was significant/big - these stops have been just taken out...

Putting in a hard stop at the BRN below just in case there's some quick and dirty dollar buying.

Got out at -1p instead. Don't like the indecision here.

{quote} Why? Everything's in the middle.
Original idea was that it would retrace to 55 and PB, it went a bit further. It's indecisive at 50 here. It's come down 70p here since open and high this morning. My volatility indies are actually STILL short since this morning, although partially the 1 mn is close to a full change to long within a few pips here, it would also revert back to full short with a move down too. A move and hold above 60 would convince me that I'm wrong and that I should have held long. But right now, I'm thinking I should have held my original short(s) and my fingers are itchy. A move below 38 will convince me that I made the right decision here. As I type, my 1mn volat is moving back down to 2/3 short.

All I see is a possible run up to 55 and back down to test 40 and push down again...
from a few hours ago...

Still holding. Just realized it's 30p up from low. I'll this b*ast*rd 25p to work with.

The only thing is that its the first time today that my 1mn volatility has turned 100% UP. Hopefully, as volatility is what it is, it will work in my favor on this one (don't like to hope in the middle of a bad position, not a good sign).

Was just about to click the X to close and the bugger started PB. Now putting a hard stop around that area and going to sleep.

Closed this morning at 45, although 5mn is still down, 1mn is turning up. Better safer this time.

5mn volatility about to turn up at around 47, 1mn is up and half of 5mn is up.... Like yesterday entry at 35 could be a swing trade going all day (hopefully)

1. don't chase it.
2. be patient, before you enter
3. be patient after you enter
