Yes a small short. I like to take advantage of Tokyo squaring.
Big news Thursday and Friday will move the Eur for sure.

I remember that night very, very well. Malc and I had just finished our third pint and decided to trade. Turned out we were on opposite sides to Jason - I'm pretty sure its documented earlier on in this very thread

To everyone reading - if you haven't tried it I recommend trying drunk trading once in your life. Just don't risk much but do use a real account, its a great experiment

Safe to say this is the first thread in FF to recommend drunk trading. ​

EurUSD couldn't rally on news today. Break of 1.1233 should take us back down to test 1.2.
I'm waiting for more weak short stops to be taken out in Asia for a short; If that happens.
I'll try to get a chart up when I'm at my home office.

Its very true. More supply at the same spot as previously. The only thing that stops me shorting is the price action in the background - the previous weakness from NFP (the cause) had hardly any affect considering. So we're either up at this level again for more distribution, in which case we should see below 1.11 next week, or we're soaking up supply for the move up, which is my guess. We'll see.

Tested but couldn't sustain a break of 1.12.

Im done for the week but if the buyers hold there its a definite SOS especially taking into consideration what the ECB said.
The upthrust on high volume from yesterday Is screaming short but I wont hold a trade through the weekend.

Shamus' Smart Trader Smart Volume Analysis Suite software seems interesting. However it seems too good to be true. Does anyone have experience with it ?

Yes, I would be interested also. Do they have a trial/demo version maybe?

I found their group on Google, account on Twitter and a website (articles published there are the same), nothing on myfxbook, I would like to see live trades with a bit of explanation in Shamus thread instead of promo messages.

Let's hope there will be someone who has any experience with their soft. If not I would like to study historical charts with their signals, it might tell us something about the quality of the software. Or maybe they have a manual, I think it would be smart to study it before a buy decision.

I browsed through their two websites, found some screens with trades. Some good, some not. Bad ones: one – short after upthrust in an uptrend (pretty strong move) without “classical” VSA pattern (signal of possible reversal, downmove, signal of entry) which rather is a mistake (trading against the prevailing trend), second – shorting in a consolidation, without clear direction of the market. It might suggest that the trading system is not fully developed and tested, or that they simply wanted to show some signals and trades without broader context of the market. Its not a critique of the software, not at all, adding some basic rules to the signals (for example to wait for a signal at a possible end of a correction) might create a pretty powerful system. I am sure that signals should not be followed blindly (which is rather obvious). I’ll study them more tomorrow or write to support for manual or something giving a broader overview of the software.

I recommend them. They are not a buy on green light sell on red light system but if you are looking for the best alternative to Tradeguider I believe this it. You still need to have your own pre-determined and defined trading strategy: this will keep you trading the vsa/wyoff principles at a good price.

Expecting a very slow range bound day before the FED tomorrow. VSA signals are better left on the chart today and not in your account.

Since prior to the drop price was below the 1 hour HVZ and there's obvious signal for a short, it's very likely he did.
