GU: Watching for a short now or maybe around the 1.6235ish level...

 

EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize Thales had just made a post about the GU... :)

GBPUSD looks like its caught in the middle of a giant game of chicken.

 

... but they're not selling it, yet. So the bulls have the upper hand, for now. Almost looks like pre-launch. I'll buy a break to new highs or sell a 123. My stop on a long would go below wherever this pullback finds a low.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

You're allowed to post, too, Cory. I don't have a monopoly on this thread.

I only got one measly signal today that stalled when I was in it and I bailed with a tick of profit before a fairly tiny pop (but enough to get 2:1).... slow freaking start to the week. Hopefully it picks up.

 

Cheers!

I'm done for the day...not trading this...but looks like a potential long opportunity on the EU...

 

(EDIT: I watch the 15 minute, but I posted this 5 minute chart so it was easier to see the action I was seeing in real-time.)

REAL TIME Long NQ, might be chasing a ghost again. Tgt may change on the fly.

Update---(14:16EST)

Momentum appears to be dying out and may have extended as far as it is going to at least temporarily. Looking to give it one more move/attempt up before really tightening stop.

 

Update---(14:52EST)

@ BE now(blue line), I'm done with this thing. Will update.

I stepped away for a bit to get ready to go, and I came back to this on the 5 min chart. Not really going anywhere. Well, whatever, I didn't take it.

 

I'm out of here...be back tomorrow morning.

 

I'm going to try my hardest to get my butt out of bed early! I've been on at 9:30 AM EST the last couple days...my goal is 7:30!!!

 

As a matter of fact...I'm not going to just try, I'm going to "do." See you at 7:30!! :)

There still may be a long opportunity on the EU, yet!

 

My other post may have been premature.

 

However, if it breaks the low, I've marked 3 levels that I see as potential support.

 

You could potentially short and ride it down to those levels, but I'd be apt to wait for a long opportunity at one of them.

 

I won't be watching this in real-time (or trading it)...just thought I'd make one final post.

I have been tempted ...

 

I took the short on the 6E (EURUSD) as it triggered first. As for the 6B (GBPUSD shown here) I am not interested in longs unless it moves above the recent highs, or pulls back towards the recent lows. Right now, I would be interested in the following opportunity to go short of it. Yesterday's 100 tick try resulted in a break even effort after having been up +55 ticks. This may very well turn out the same, or worse.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

long entry setup for Gold. 1-2-3 coming out of overnight chop zone above support.

 

I dont believe this is a 123 that is discussed often in this thread that would just be a continuation trade. A 123 in the Trader Vic / Thales sense is a reversal trade...

Missed that Long continuation with EUR/USD, may have thought too much about a possible chopzone.

 

ADD: 1st target reached.

 

ADD: new 2 day high

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
