    Took profit @ 7180. +50 pips. Don't feel like holding it for the next few hours as it looks like near-term support is building here for a bit since 11 am. Don't like leaving money on the table.

    So off to dinner and rest a bit and start all over again.

    GL to all.

    BTW, kudos to whoever called that aussie short

    Both aussie and kiwi are a little oversold here. Aussie always gives me fits so I will stay with the kiwi.

    Gone long NZDUSD at 7147 with target 7190-7200.

    And before Ivan asks, will look to cut losses if we break 7100.

  3. Having a stop is not mandatory for posting here. The only thing I ask is that you specify "NO STOP" if you have none.

    Some people don't like to use stops. Who am I to make them? :)

    I ask only that the following is included in trade posts in this thread:

    Pair (obviously)
    Direction
    Enter point
    TP / SL (both optional, but specify OPEN and NONE if you decide to not use).
    Size of position - optional.

  5. My wife did that all morning because I forgot to get the baby's doctor appointment checkup visit in the calendar, and now they don't have any appointments for two weeks. So you're late to the party!

    As for swearing, go right ahead - just so long as it's not directed as a profane insult to someone :)

  6. Long eur/usd @5320, stop @5220, target@5520

    Going long for the same resons as yesterday, only difference is now the cci divergence is on the 4hour chart instead of 1hour chart. Large stop to allow trade to breathe while i'm away from pc to finish up important business in my day job. IF I had a little more patience in letting my trades develop I could of made 60-80pips yesterday on my long eur/usd analysis. I know Iknow, woulda coulda shoulda, and "IF" my aunt had gonads she would be my uncle.

    Good Luck and Happy Pip Hunting!!!

  7. Looking at the last week the EUR/USD looks like a horrible currency to trade any other way then the daily downtrend. This currency is not on my day trading currency list but good luck pip prophet because it looks like the most you will get out of this is a small bump and then the thing will continue to go down.

    Most of the time i trade off of the 30 minute chart but i only buy when i know the daily chart is in a solid up swing or trend. Buying the EUR/USD right now with that very big and sharp downtrend in the last couple weeks seems kinda of crazy.

  9. NeoRio1, Looks like I might take this one in the shorts. I was trying to play a bounce off of support, and support has now been broken and there is more than a great chance I'll get stopped out before I can dwindle the loss down to something more palatable. Asia has kicked the usd buying in overdrive.

    I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong, and I was totally off on this one.

    Shit! look at that dollar go.

    (don't worry Ivan, even tho I have your permission to cuss away, I'll try to keep it manageable. :D )

    But still, shit, look at the dollar go.
