{quote} Beautiful washout there on OCRX, +72% move today, squeezing some shorts and filling the gap. Liquidating both longs on 1.8X. Looking to add on UJ tomorrow.
UJ 115.2X done, 115.4X full extended. Remaining target at 116.1X (not including possible pullback), taking some chips of here, leaving the rest to full.

GJ 141 still on board, not much further away now, didnt manage to get any longs on.
Perfect one on GBP /GU 2138 clearout for long addon, quick 50 pips (going to previous post / very short term bottom).
Lets see Uk100 next week, could be play for another extended up leg.

Equities watchlisting TGXT today for long momentum play directly after market open, if we take the highs. NVAX is possible silent bomb, tracking that one for current catalyst on mid-long term likely to strike and push that on large move above 2.On higher cappers tracking PPC for last 2 weeks for long plays. Mostly pharma/biotech, same ol for last few months.

I am not sure what kind of trick they're playing this time , markets are becoming more difficult as they are changing the game every time for people to get lured in old patterns .

We are trading inside bars at major mid term levels...What do you think are the odds that we have seen the high of the Q,M,W and D ?

SNB? ECB?

Dollar has been offloaded since frankie last night

Impossible to tell I'm sure, just conjecture - I'm wondering if this is what sisse was pointing to large entities being on the wrong side

Yup. Added a teaspoon here at 650, got a pending tablespoon up in that 675 area waiting as well. Tp1 for that small add is 530. Will adjust it if I get filled at 675 though.

not sure really... I have some thoughts that robots are programmed to focus more on wages than jobs lately also it's not like big flows would trade the obvious and

align with everybody in the market so big flows could start kicking in whenever they see fit ...so far we're still in the range so no worries just waiting .

Hi Gator,
despite good data usdyen is resisting to break 115.50. You think it has the juice left in it or its down to 113.50.

I read many people loading on the spike what's the hurry? ... not even NY is open ....even if you want to play it intraday at least wait for the opening range ....my 2 cents.

Quoting sisse
...--> Its seems to be a consensus on the entry short (I personally disagree [check] with the level in my map but thats beyond the map). For TP1 we have a range from the 1.039x to as highs as the micro 1.051x will average them. For TP2 around the mid 1.03xx seems to be the one (I also disagree with this area). Stops will rounded up in 100/120 ticks for the sake of the argument (soft but valid TA wise in my books)

Short @ 1.060x -> TP1 1.046x -> TP2 1.035x -> STP 1.071x ---> Min r:r 1 : 1.5
I don't want to be the jackass 'I told you so' as I know many of you are on the short time in real trading but I would like to strongly recommend to explore this part in detail (many potential aha moments may get trigger) why 1.061x wasn't the best entry for this play ... We'll discuss later during calmer times but I highly recommend to bookmark and study this week play.
