EURUSD shorting opportunity on Slovakia vote?

[MajorDutch]

So the damn Slovak's have voted against this EFSF ting? I am looking at my hourly chart and looking to see if there could be a possible shorting opportunity off the 9pm bar. Will get a chart up.

Anyone else have any thoughts on this, surely this vote result should take a bit of shine of the Euro.

What you saying?

The euro has remarkable almost magical powers considering its strength in the state its in.
I'll vote for a crash any time though.

so switching to the 5min chart looking for a potential entry, looking for a nice rejection candle after a retest following a break of the recent low. the first trouble area is a little close so stop will have to go to break even pretty quick. there is scope for 3:1 if we keep the stop tight before reaching the second trouble area.

cool. I am not going to short until this recent low is broken and retested. The trouble is it could be along wait, could be 20 mins from now, 2 hours from now or it may not happen.

Do you mean the low at 34? My open was 44

And yes its moving slow as hell right now, luckily i got some work to do so will be up for a bit

I'm not taking a swing position. Be careful, there will be another vote after the new government is installed. The political risks in Europe are too high right now.

bottom of 9pm (london) hourly bar = 1.3633 on my feed. it normally moves this slow at this time of day.

bullish bias change on 5m chart.

price has broken out now on my feed, waiting for a retest and a decent rejection candle.

 

[Doomberg]

You in Dutch? I just seen 32

nope, u havn't read the thread! price went below the low and formed a bullish pin. Price did move below the low but there was no convincing close below, now that pin has formed I will not look to get short until the price moves below the 5m pin and then retests again. imo entering on a break is futile as price will nearly always retrace, that's when i like to enter.

 

[Doomberg]

Fair enough, i'm happy with the way this is looking and may have this as a longer than usual position (i need sleep lol)

My stop is bigger than normal at 94 which makes it a 50 point stop, the double top on 1hr looks convincing but we'll see.

yeah sleep would be good at this stage! price has clearly broken. When I eventually get in I will probably be looking at a 15pip stop with 45pip take profit moving stop to break even when +10 pips.

very sharp break switching to 1minute chart to get entry

Yeah i'm happy now the price is broken, was a matter of time - if i was following my full rules i'd of waited for 30 too and not 44 but looking at different time frames it seemed like a good entry, does no one thing this one may be good for 100-200 pips?

well i think you are fine down to 1.3580 this is where you hit a trouble zone. Personally I would set stop to break even and go for a huge cricket score. surely you are going to move your stop to b/e now?

 

[MajorDutch]

i am short now. tight stop.
