This is after the fact, but so far today I have not done anything but this demo short on crude at the level shown. I actually set the sell limit order and had forgotten about it until it was filled.

 

The recent rally in the 6E &6B has been too choppy and overlapping - I'd like to see some swings break out and extend (impulse/thrust) before I get involved.

Potential reversal on USD/JPY downmove?

 

It's getting late, so even if it was I would not be taking that long at this point.

 

Still a good place for a SL on a short, though, if not tighter.

 

EDIT: Added an image with a trendline I didn't show in the others...

I exited for the 15 min between RTH and globex (broker requirement), but will be getting back in at the same spot, with the same stop when trading resumes in 10 minutes or so.

Oh I know it's not "real time" haha. For the first few minutes after entering, the last thing I'm thinking about is posting it. If it's not real time enough feel free to ignore me! No hard feelings.

Well, that ellipse pretty much encompasses PA on the 6E/EURUSD during my time of day, and let me tell you, that is not my kind of market. The only trade I did all day was a demo on crude for 9 tick loss as I tried to fade the rally only to get steam rolled.

Current view view of the US Dollar index shows the DXYO pulling back from our first resistance target. The assumption for now is that the Buck will pullback to the vicinity of the lower two horizontal trend lines, and then make go at clearing first resistance, and clearing that, I'd expect the buck to rally to the next level shown.

A little late...

 

Trading on the couch with a laptop in my lap is a little much. I believe I'm going to try it with a table and my laptop wireless mouse tomorrow night! ;)

Looking at a channel on the 6E ... this is just mad doodles of a trading waiting for something to happen, so do not take any of the arrow scribbles as prediction, not even anticipation. Just taking notes and drawing marginalia.

 

The channel is interesting though, in the context of the recent downtrend. I would expect at some point for price to break below the lower trend line and retest the low, if not break to new lows.

 

Best Wishes,

Not much has changed since yesterday. The 'immediate' minor R is being challenged and I'll be looking for shorts within there. Should go higher, there is the previously mentioned obvious R at the lower range covering the majority of last weeks entire trading. I'll be more aggressive on shorts and scale them out less aggressively in 1/4ths playing for when the trend will finally re-assert itself. Unless something is brutally obvious, I won't do any long unless we go below Monday's trade, but preferably below 1.5833 on a probe. I'll scale out longs in 1/2s. Anything else is consider scalps with all in/out mentality.

It looks as though the 6E is now on its way to the lower channel line. My guess is that price will bounce there and continue this little rally off last week's low, but that is only a guess.

I see what you're saying...I think likely up to that major red resistance line I've drawn...a short sequence at that red line would be very nice.

 

This current short sequence is tempting, though..

    • Why not to simply connect you account to myfxbook which will collect all this data automatically for you? The process you described looks tedious and a bit obsolete but may work for you though.
    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.

    • What a wild year.   AI seems to be appearing everywhere you look, Paris hosted a weird Olympics, unrest continues in the Middle East, the US endured a crazy-heated election, and the largest rocket ever to fly successfully landed in a giant pair of robot arms.   Okay, but what about the $money stuff?   Well, this year we've seen a load of uncertainty - inflation is still biting and many businesses have gone down.   Property has been very fractured, with developments becoming prohibitively expensive, while other markets have boomed.   It hasn't been an easy ride, that's for sure.   However, the stock market has had some outstanding results, and for those who know how to trade, some have done VERY well for themselves.   Some have replaced their incomes. Some have set themselves up for the rest of their days on this planet.   How about you? How did you go?
