But there is a question how soon liquidity Will dry out ( it is partially already) and so imo not worth trading until second week on Jan.

{quote} ufff .... First you are talking not even about intraday ranges but about micro trading. Y Look IMO, you are too close to the market.
@CommercialB & @Earleone. Yes that looks about right...

With that simple range you can clearly see how far out of scope a daily range can be for intraday trading. This very simple intraday range extends for nearly 5 or 6 days !!!!....

--> Now to the second step. What was your direction BEFORE the fact (that why I said you missed the live opportunity to see it panning out live [thats when most have their 'AHA' moments]). I don't care why for the sake of this argument. What was you 'outlook' LONG, Neutral or SELL?

Longed UMXN 676 and 642 expecting a pop.
Poped and held. Closed 70% longs, leaving the rest for new all time lows altough it will be most likely BE clearout before that happens. Shorted lira 5135.

BTC soaring on China card, 870 high today (almost 10% in day and half).

I took a short at .0494 as I had .0510 at top of intraday range. Looked like .0500 handle rejected it. Looking to see if it test flip area and test .0400 handle again.

i did take a long at .035x with a tighter stop. Closed at .0488 and then took the short. I wasn't as comfortable w long but the R:R was there. Now just looking for shorts to finish MID Term leg. Not sure if we will see it this year as I was aiming for .020x

...and that was it for a rather underwhelming opening range ...not a matter of 'if' but 'when' will get that final push in US Equities ....4th consecutive day all eyes in Equities after Europe goes home.

On the rest of the board, all markets in very uneventful ranges. Euro prolly the best of the pack with late soft hands getting caught selling lows after the failure to take 1.037x early in the week.

@Earleone @ PAStalker

Right so you both are in sell 'intraday' (reasons are irrelevant for this) .

Now you have the range, you have the flip and you are in sell. Where would you load (not how don't care what you use)? [e.g. where are the cheap, normal and expensive tickets)?

sisse

PS: again call it before the London fix otherwise it will be useless...

Attached is the zones with cheap / normal and regular tickets ( for the intraday range )

I will personally try to fade the Resistance levels after touch ( By doing that I was not getting in on the 1.0470 level on the way up now, perhaps on the way down )

.0635 was a level I was hoping to get in at a retrace but don't really see it. I just positioned at .0494 w natural stop in play. Waiting to see how the flip area responds.

Bought UCAD, targeting larger mid term macro and another attempt on 3410 takeout, failure of 53,70 WTI adds a bit to view. Didnt get any entry on TRY, still attempting on both TRY and MXN along larger macro. {image} Still holding De30 and Uk100 longs, but tracking tomorrow and day after for possible London drive and mid term pop.
There it goes UK100 finally open valid play for possibly exciting tomorrows London session. Pop now officially in play.

Thought we were just going according to that last 4 hour intraday range we were discussing, if not then am probably completely wrong here

Late again(work)..very similar to commericalb map
Only my expensive tickets would be under 1.0400 and cheap tickets above 1.0480..
Probably enter anywhere above the flip & adjust position size accordingly for my stop above the top of the range..even though waiting for a spike through the top of the range & enter on the way back in is preferable(similar to earleone).

Usually in gold, if you go there you cant miss them.
Mentioning the gold, looks like we are cooking for bearish santa delivery.
