Trichet is trying to talk up the euro

 

[zuke]

Im hoping you guys managed to get a piece of the short around180-200?

 

[Mornington Crescent]

trendie
it may or may not be stop running but the fact is it took out yesterdays high.

its worth giving it a little thought for a while.

yesterdays correction did look a bit odd and incomplete

sorry, meant to add

but now , taken over all, the sequence looks like a recognisable ABC
if so, the trend down will be resumed.

Thanks pip. Have 2.

Can't be too greedy I guess. 200+ pips today anyway.

Did you mention a set up on EUR/JPY earlier? Were you looking for a sell, which has been bazooka'd?

long got triggered (whilst i was away), at 139.94...was really hoping if any order got triggered it would be the short one...what can i do?!?! anyway, i'm putting a very tight stop (tighter then i normally do on these trades...as i wasn't expecting any of the orders to get triggered until next week, nevermind the long one!) the long entry would be lookin to exit at previous 141 highs.

[badtrader]

[trendie]

trendie have you got a software to back test

I have Updata. But the backtest is garbage, as it only backtest MA X-over combos.
But I have a couple of years intra-day data.

Why do I feel i am going to have a busy weekend?

 

[badtrader]

Now flat not waiting for target , out @1,7166 for 37 pips

 

[G-Man]

Bit off topic, but the EUR now appears to have put in a bullish weekly reversal bar. There is also divergance materialising.

Could the bottom be in? Next week might not be conclusive with some quiet days in the US, but it will be interesting to see any reactions.

my first loss for the thread.

Badtrader,

Why care for a small loss? Only a newbie would do that. Losses are part of the game, and without losses we would never have profits.
