Oscar in fine, verbose form.

 

[trendie]

was the big move up on GU, EU casued by the Construction news? at 3pm?

forecast was negative, but the real number was positive, slightly.

 

[trendie]

what caused the change in EU direction between 2:30pm and 3:00pm from short to long?

Cant see any recent Sup/Res.
only thing I can see is a 32.8% retrace since last Fridays euro-session low.
cant see any obvious pattern; the double-bottom seems too close together to be a genuine DB.

EDIT: the turning point is also 50%-ish retrace when taken from last Thursdays low.
EDIT2: ignore first edit. Thats for GU!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Multicolinearity!
I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT ON SOME GREAT TRADES!

I have been using Stochs(72) as trend-direction, and Stochs(12) as pullbacks.
I also have CCI(144) from Nocona as a trend guideline.
These indicators I have been using for best part of a year or so.

Guess what! If I reset the Stochs to 144, I am getting virtually the same trend-switch as the CCI(144).

After all that I have done to avoid multicolineartiy, I fall foul of it myself.

Its a miracle I ever make any money at all.

I may not be around for a few days, as kicking myself in the head for the next few minutes might induce concussion.

I DO NOT FRICKIN' BELIEVE IT!
(on the positive side, I guess I can dispense with either the Stochs, or the CCI)

EDIT: added chart pic for illustration

sorry mate, but I have no idea what you are on about. But I'm sure it's not as bad as it seems - you did make money, after all.

 

[trendie]

my first latency trade!!

Alpari EU was showing 1.3480 and rising, but CMC was stuck at 1.3470.
I bought EU at 1.3470.
then CMC woke up, and shot to 1.3485. (currently at 1.3476/78)

my first free money trade.

does anyone have the MT4 indicator for MACD where you get two lines crossing and the histogram, rather than the histogram/line, please. thanks

[trendie]

ok, so the GU dump-off is news-related??
some news leak about Retail Sales m/m?
spikey. but today, in a good way. was short minded.

 

[trendie]

ok, whats with the GU and EU up-spikes then?
not news?

GU wasnt a Sup bounce, as the nearest prior action was yesterday euro-session breather at 1.6350 or so.

And EU could theoretically be Sup bounce, as 1.41 is a round number, and this level was asian-session low from yesterday.

so, what was cause of the spikey stuff?

 

[trendie]

now THAT was a news-spike.
GU and EJ storming. US Pending Home Sales.

today, the spike was in my favour on EJ.

 

[trendie]

now theres peculiar!

EU rockets up and is showing 1.4257 on Alpari, while Broco has stalled EU at 1.4205.
all Broco charts seem stalled.

Even on Alpari, EJ has stalled also (now shwoing with a 30 pip spread), as has GU stalled.

If they've pulled the plug on their machines, its pretty nasty?

Good luck to those who trade the news.

(2 spike days in a row. political manipulative shennanigans?)

 

[oiltanker]

you can trade them with binaries.

e.g on euro the binary up on day went up to 80. sell that. risk 20pts. now its 35.

or do a no touch by selling a one touch.

the forex.ltd metatrader I have showed smooth running's on EU up to 1.4268 and flowing normally.

Found Alpari went downhill last year and Broco charts have never been the best unfortunately.

Not looked at GU but nice smooth run up from support on GJ prior leading into the rise perfectly.

 

[trendie]

EJ on Alpari returns at 138.70-ish.
thats a gap of 130/40 pips. seriously nasty.

 

[trendie]

has a double-top been put in just, in EJ?
