currently looking at 3 pairs eur, jpy and gbp vs usd. I think opportunity is at door in all these 3 currencies.

dax was the only one that didnt hit its norm level. i didnt think it would survive against the others and yen.. dead cat was anticipated.. brent oil still may see 56. but its a hard road.. 14.11 is a valid target, probably after 56.22..it could take years.. oil stocks may be the way to go. safer to wait for 56

WOW. 9800 seems to be providing support, for now.
If you take the high from the beginning of this year and low for this quarter you get a number between 9700-9800

took the short 1.1320 we talked about at length yesterday. Stop at new high

the one I waited 250 pips for

tp1 20 pips
tp2 500

A double top would serve my purposes quite nicely

Coincidentally, AMR is exactly the high

Is this the post you're referring to?

Not looking to trade EU today unless it pops 200+ pips.

What's your target then? A 50% retracement or is that too much to ask for currently?


*ps I'd be happy with 1.123x but secretly I hope for a daily pivot test.

Yes and the one before that where I said scalp 1320....scalp was the wrong term. Look for the goat in a sweater picture

reason behind the trade and though process is laid out a few posts below, also add AWR and AMR in there

I'm betting on the high not being beaten, which means I think the low will be beaten....so...1.0550

You say if the high is broken the trade is wrong, which high? the 1.1376?
Where would you set your sl and if hit, u assume the trade was wrong?

1.1376 high, the last swing high on the daily, stop two pips above

so ~60 pip risk for 500

I don't assume it's wrong, I know it's wrong, even if it drops after- my reason is invalidated. Most times, even if a new high is hit it will fall- which means I could probably still get out with a BE trade if I wasn't using a stop loss....but that's not guaranteed,and if it didnt retrace like most times, I'd be up shit's creek. Rather take the small hit
