{quote} Don't get me wrong but I think you are too close to the market .... Try to get the big picture instead of lower timeframe
Don't get me wrong but how is tracking 950 getting too close to market? Thats the level I got here too on my end. @giveachance seems to be saying its an important mark between 1115(7) and 1.07x at the moment. A spread of 300/400 ticks. Adds up to me. Maybe for different reasons but I'd say 950 matters in the "not too close" frame.

It's too close for ST & MT swings .... Not for scalping

Makes sense. Honestly pending orders like mine hit this morn are a pain in the ass. Nice you don't miss your mark when your sawing logs, not so nice that the entry often jumps a gun you might otherwise wait for were you at the chart. I got a plan for short and it's going ok so far I guess. I won't be surprised if it flops though. Kudos if you can get it in that tight. I know you usually dont settle for less.

The most important levels right now in my view are 1.104x, 1.098x , 1.082x , 1.063x 1.048x and the low of 2017 ....

kinda boring.. but i dont care.. i was looking at 0990 and was tempted.. so i may miss it and be sad or happy with a 1018 one. even if it ends up on the shit pile.
i was tempted because 1.1 was rejected b4 gap open. its a dice toss, but it has a smaller stop.

listening to the legal scholars, he may already be on a missile. by whats already been spoken freely in the press. Mike Pence too. Nixon didnt break into the Watergate hotel. He tried to stop the investigation. The cover up is what got him.

122.00 from here is possible. Next R is at 125.30. In strong sell zone both @ daily and weekly. Monthly has room for some 70 odd pips before 20ema.

I have a Uj short from 114.10. Added more @ 113.60. Looking for 112.9x. Hoping to get it soon. Mighty nervous to hold on to this one.

about 1.5 years ago i had the uj going to 100.50 as normal. at the same time ej had 129.xx as normal. i didnt have a way to work this out in my head. the solution i came up with is they would do one of them first, then the other. we will see.

in current scenario looks tough. we may possibly have a top in the euro. i think it is failing here

maybe.. i want to still long eu when usdx hits 101.52 r higher. if that happens before eu 1.1316 or 1.1115. that's ok. if not, i shouldn't have closed after 0585..(original plan to target 1.1316). i wouldn't look over 1.1115 attraction. one reason i dont want to have a big s/l off a 1.1018 short.. not so sure about it being tough. pa tends to show what it wants. last month closed above the previous 1/4. atm we are above last months at 0895.. last week closed above

I read the following article, but I don't know the credibility of the source. However, it seems very interesting for Central banks future moves.
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/w...l-bank-crisis/
What do you think about it's last paragraph?
"The balance sheets of both the Japanese central bank and the ECB are unlikely to follow the Fed just yet. A withdrawal of the ECB’s purchases of securities could produced the most widespread damage in Europe since the Dark Ages."
