So as I thought it was going north(up), I made a mistake, it went south(down). It hit my stop loss. I re-opened a sell position and got the positive results. I earned back the loss from the first trade and earned some profit. When you look at the screen shot where the blue box is and resistance area, I should've open a sell position instead of long. It was clear that it was resistance to that level. We all make mistakes sometimes. Still earned back the loss and made some profit too. I usually do not trade the news but I thought why not do it today. I will not trade the news anymore will stick to my rules as always and trade price action. Done trading for today and wish you all positive profits traders.

Looks like it is at the support on H1 1.10685, but it wants to break that level. If it breaks next level is 1.10287. We will see. Not trading now just watching the market. I am done trading for today. If it goes north(up) first resistance level 1.11125.

I think sometimes the momentum carries over- for a while-with these major announcements

If we get to see a rounded bottom- then I am going long

Past 3 months been saved by NFP - which seems to reverse the trend past 1-2 weeks...

Btw, I have been paying interests for long EURUSD, but gaining interests for short EURUSD. If EUR not going to raise interests and USD not going to drop interests anytime soon, then why would people want to long EURUSD and keep paying interests?

People here will never learn to not trade during important news. I learned the hard way too.

Well my plan was to get out around the sma89....I thought it must be a real move.... that was telling me the MarketRhythm and HEW...
I wanted to exit around the sma89 on the 4H-chart... but the move was that strong and momentum was still there....that I thought it could move further-down at that time (I call it flexibility) .... and yes I was right with that.... (maybe luck but HEW was my backgard....I am expecting much more bearishness for the coming time....it's sadly for the EUR but that's my view at the moment)

Please read my blog....I was expecting this strong move already some days ago....

For now the MarketRhythm at the 4H-chart is telling me....test around the sma89 at least... then we have to see what price will do....
My suspect is it will go down again and search rhythm with the ema8/21. But at the moment I have to say that I did not worked out the HEW-count for this last move... So that is just a feeling at the moment

Well.. On this one I have to agree.. I also have a don't trade the news AND of Fridays (unless it is a very special case) on my trading rules.. I also had it the hard way as you mentioned.

I have to say you sometimes get carried away to be honest.. But I hate it when I break the rules..

If you know what you are doing on the contrary, news represents an opportunity enough scare mongering.

The market always move up in an optimistic reaction towards the news time, thats an opportunity usually taken days in advance of the news just like the EURUSD few days ago.

Am not sure if you call that "trading news" or an intelligent understanding of the market movement.

Could be...but really I have to sit for this one....
There is definitely some smaller degree counts hidden in this larger bar. So it depends on: what do I see and what do I expect...and finally does this match and if not..what possibilities are there.
As you know I also look at the 4H-Chart to see what the MarketRhythm is telling me.

So I'm sorry, in the weekend I can work it further out!

It's weekend ....I'm taking a beer

Have a nice weekend!

Interesting arguments going on here about technicals and fundamentals. Needless to argue imho. A combo of technicals and fundamentals seems potent for long-term trading success.
