​If you bought UJ, there is actually a retracement that may go to 110. I think!

Cleared my EU shorts on the new low, normally there is a bounce after a new low- which should offer me another short within 6 pips of my original

Will be dependent on timing next week

Thanks for the insights this week sisse, I think I will be pitching my tent here over the next few months to participate and further hone my fundamental game plans and timing

Mine is a few posts higher, according to mine you were on a micro TF, however; after your PM I see you are trading a much larger (and out of my personal scope) swing

For me, if 1.1115 gets a good reaction (or lower in the 1.09xx), then 1.17xx should be tested, which is all part of a much longer road to 1.247x that was posted about early in the year in a conversation with sisse, but- as sisse correctly pointed out at the time, that swing is much too large for a single bite

My current shorts are in anticipation of getting a long in which I can hold for the 1.17xx test

It can go straight to next area, but in the case of a bounce, where would you like to load shorts again??

Between 1.1335 and 1.1363 (these corrected)

Agreed, it could go straight to next area- but most times it wont...if it does I already have a plan in place (just need to get the timing right- which is why I'm here)

edit: this is usually how the bounce would start in the chart shown, timing-wise- I'd like to see the German info on Monday and US tuesday give me the entry. Seems like inline or better would be enough to give me the bounce- but not near enough to kill the 1.1400 resistance. In my eyes, that will only be killed through the FOMC at this point....

When I exited, I tried to keep sisse's words in mind from here....

Final questions:
-> Are you trading what you preach with the outlooks?
-> Can you spot the flip in this chart?

I hope it trigger something useful ...

sisse

1. No, I am not. The trade I should have taken in NEUTRAL OUTLOOK at .1290 would or should have been neither (SHORT or LONG)! I took a trade again at the CENTER of the range. Last time I lucked out and PA went from .1290 to .1390. I talked about how you trade the extremes to the target but not the center. I have once again taken a trade from the CENTER.

I should have been neutral on this trade. You lured me in and I took the bait. Hopeless it seems..............

If I win again on this trade; then, I am lucky. Weird how I can get lucky with no money truly lost or gained or but lose or am unlucky more with my own trades or money. Hopefully, learning this will pay off. I appreciate your help and allowing me to see this more clearly.

2. Couldn't see the FLIP on the DAY chart. I stepped back and looked at the WEEK Chart. I see .1065 being the FLIP. PA keeps going to it and either reversing or going thru........

Have a good weekend!

1. Why do you think 1.139x held? ...what do you think are the odds that we have set the high of the week and the handle will hold the week? Zero? 50/50 or 100% [check]

...things look rather shaky for the euro after the opening range ...watch-out for the floor with Europe going home [check]...
...and we rolled 1.121x bears held steady. No surprises in a rather simple and direct day. FED in play next week expecting the FX board to die down to a standstill on the European opening on Monday .... until then ...same levels, same trades, same all....

You are not lucky ...IMHO you are v. good trader that need some risk boundaries and discipline to move to the next level thats it. BTW, the flip for the current short term swing is/was @ 1.134x ...have a look in detail at that one ...

90% of the people that frequent the boards would not have admitted that (many of them red flags). You're well on your way to being a great trader imo

Thanks sisse and Pharm0r! Really appreciate those comments. I still don't feel confident yet or even a "good" trader. I just want to understand what you guys do. I believe you know when and where to look for something and I am watching everything like a Dog seeing a squirrel, or was that a leaf or was that a cat.....no squirrel.....ect.....that's how I feel watching the market. FA are so difficult for me to understand as I watch Oil, No Yen, No Gold, No DAX....no OIL....ect........

I couldn't even get the Daily range right on the D chart when asked. I didn't see it from .116x to .146X. I saw .1230 to .1467. I missed the FLIP as well. But maybe that FLIP zone is more for a MID TERM Map. But, .106X is something.....maybe not a FLIP but its a place PA does stop and reverse or it goes thru and comes back.

I see the FLIP now. And, perfect place for my STOP taking the .1290 SHORT to .1190.....still, should not have taken that trade. It would have been better to take a trade at .1344....the break out was at this top and PA came back and it acted as support for awhile....Now Resistance (FLIP).
