113.6xx clearly a key level, but curious as to your short entry as soon as it gets there , I dont see a sell signal of any kind. You may well be right but just wondering as to what your trigger was, other than reaching that level.

{quote} I agree. market has been difficult since the past 2 years or so. forex was never guaranteed income but it was 60% predictable. I think that % has come down to 30% now
Thats not what he ment, he was implying that in general trading is hard. The market predictability completely relies on your strategy, for example you say the market is 30% predictable (according to your strategy) when currently for me the market ranges between 60-80% predictability (because of my strategy). To any new traders don't let all the failures convince you that trading is impossible, there just jealous.

I think it's going to close the gap and creating a new LH at 1.07 and then up to new HH 1.103 (via daily chart).

...and I will take that in the Euro. Clearing first short term target on the test 1.088x, well done all from the 1.10xx handle. Not much else to see there.

Tracking very closely Bund this week and shifting attention for trading to Oil and Sterling to complete the legs for the BOE.

1.0792 near abouts is where it will bottom. I agree it will go up again but not close to 1.1 somewhat lower to 1.0950

{quote} Scratch that last post. If we close above 1.0920 by 8pm US Eastern Time, I say we have a very good chance of getting back up to 1.0950 again overnight and into tomorrow morning.
Good morning folks, looks like 1.0920 was broken through, so that forecast has been invalidated. However, I still see us going back through 1.0900 and possibly even higher from this moment and into noon.

Apologies, Pharm0r (farmer?). I didn't know you were the owner and the boss of this thread. While I cannot guarantee that I will refrain from posting my views, I will, however, keep a very close eye on your forecasts and predictions and see how many of them are correct.

Personally I am watching for a D close over 950. 970 seems logical. And a following D close back under 950. 880 is logical there. Doubt today is that day. It's just what I'm watching for in general.
I tested waters with a (rather late) penny ante short on 945, stop at 1045 and took most of that off to pay for stops when we reached 885, so zero risk there atm. Wait and watch. Without the closes I mentioned, worst case is breakeven above yesterday's high, best case is enough profit for a medium snow cone.

Just as forecasted, we are now approaching 1.0900 again. I expect price to go even slightly above this.

Thats kind of missing the whole point imho. And why you might be getting a reaction here and there. But whatever. Public forum and all. I'd just say there's a lot to learn from some really smart and open, experienced market perspectives here. Dont miss out on that. My 2cents.

Hi goosebone,

I do not disagree with you. I will try to refrain from calling any short term forecasts anymore and will try to listen to as much advice coming from you both. I will subscribe to the both of you.

Thanks.

Lol, only 'advice' I meant to give was that there are many here to learn from. Not at all that I am one of them.
I agree though that the very short term calls are mostly irrelevant to topics here but like I said, public forum. Good luck.

Just a thought to share!
Following the recent G20 meeting (few days ago), Kuroda made a (very) positive comment on the health of Japan economy. Also we know that DJT pushes for a weak US$. I can imagine that Central Banks have coordinated again their decisions to accommodate DJT. On the other hand, DJT will stop threatening the world by his protectionism policies.
In this scenario, the FED won't hike in June, ECB will make an end to QE as well as Japan. So until June FED meeting, UDX is up (Gator scenario).
