Off eur/usd subject but I noticed you were short on UJ. What's your target after it touched 113? 111.2/111.4?

111.40 should be the normal target but I usually set tp a little above the trend line so this time my tp is @111.60.

Nice.

I went short at 112.670. Kicking my newbie self and in the ass for not opening a few shorts up so I could TP at 112.2 potentially and let the other run. Either way... 100 pips would be a first for me.

candle for candle with other pairs i think EU is going to continue higher, at least make new highs and finish around the highs before any change at least, in LS

looks like small breakout at least about to happen

Good luck man, dont trade silver often. Check Gator's posts, I remember him mentioning a few medium/long term targets.

I opened a second position earlier at 112.470, looking to close it at ~112.00 and ride my original short to the 111.60 area. Price is capped under yesterday's R1 of 112.260, watching it to make sure it holds before it continues south.

Are you closing all position before the weekend? I've got a long entry on Gold/USD I'm thinking about rolling the dice on it....

Yes man, dont think it is worth the risk so will go flat into the weekend. If I had a gold trade, I would definitely close it, the moves with commodities can be brutal when such eventful weekends are in question, seriously not worth it.
112.38 is daily mid S1 and PP, I believe you have a good additional trade there with an entry of 112.47.

Sounds good. Thanks!

It's going to be an interesting weekend to watch!

The congestion on the left should help 115.xx with UJ.

Agree, it made several closes above 112.10 and expect 115.00 to be challenged early next week but a dip is possible before. Still running half of the pos from 112.86 and moved the stop to 112.70 as mentioned earlier. I have a target @111.60s before moving higher but will definitely close before the weekend.
