Hey bro, I suggest that you do not enter if you are unsure.
Only enter when you have certain level of confidence. Otherwise it is not much difference from gambling!
I look for value wherever it can be found

Yesterday was a panic sell.

Today, rationality returns again, I guess. And NFP is almost sure to be bullish tomorrow.

I saw already few of us taking long when price is on top and taking short when on the bottom. Why? Is there any strategy in this?
Please don't take this as an offence. I'm just asking and trying to learn something. And that's because maybe I don't have enough balls to do this. I tried this way few times and always with loses. Maybe I did it wrong? :/

Actually, I was thinking if 111 get breached easily, that it might stay above it, as it is psychological point. Only mistake was that I haven't put my entry point higher 10-15 pips.

{quote} In fairness - its been a slow drag down and I believed we'd see a dip under 110 some time ago. That target remains intact (for me at least) but I've unwound my position favouring EUR crosses instead..UJ was only 40 pips or so away whereas other set ups showed 200 -400 pips to a target level..What do 'ya do.. Here's how I'm seeing it on the H1 TF {image}

I think your gap will be finally filled. At least is what I'm seeing right now.

Oh, I'm quite sure it will but in the interests of transparency I was unwinding my position in late March when we ran down to the 110.20's.

At that stage the distance to target was only 40 pips or so and I had a trade setting up on EUR NZD (posted the chart in this thread) that was worth over 200 pips to 1st target which was hit last Friday.

...I never wed a trade - if there is a bigger opportunity elsewhere I'll scale the trade down and place size on the trade with bigger profit potential; it's one of the few benefits we have as lone wolf retail traders. We can take our business wherever we choose.

As a technical trader; a chart is a chart and I don't give a damn what 'label' is on it.

Expect a possible big reversal of all the markets that moved because of U.S. launching cruise missiles into Syria - at some point.

BULLISH SCENARIO
1. Expect the CCI to break the descending triangle above.
There's big possibility that the CCI can give a false break the lower support line.
2. Furtheremore there is a bullish divergence on the daily. If the CCI breaks above the CCI descending trend line, then the Daily bullish divergence is true.

BEARISH SCENARIO
1. If it breaks the CCI support line, I expect it wouldn't go further than -161.65.
Assuming it does break lower than -161.65, then bearish presume.

All of this depends on NFP result.
This is not investment/trading advise. Will not hold accountable for loss

Wondering if Syria airstrikes are gonna have any long term effect on markets, or this is just a panic reaction. Got kicked out just because of that crap.

In my opinion, it won't take long term effect and it will recover. it's been 4 bullish candle, lucky me that I took 20 pips when it's recovering.

As predicted; the Bear Flag and Bear FlagCluster formation I posted yesterday obliged - a very reliable pattern and one that catches out many traders taking 'Longs' - which is why its other name is a 'Bull Trap'.

Chart attached should demonstrate this clearly enough.

NFP today so lets see what that does..But for me there are better business opportunities elsewhere now..

Wish you all well.
