Hi I am not sure if this is the right place but was going too post my trades and set ups - use KnovaWave - Murrey MAth and 80/20 predominantly From this am on my blog and call(about 20 mins ago I guess - sorry for delay; I am long this morning off 1.2293 - 50 ema and 6-8 MML retest and figure spit. Missed the 1.2320/double top spit after the jump on he 102.0 IFO reading and upward revision to the previous month"s data. The index has hit the highest level since May 2000 and in the press conference IFO"s Abberger and Nerb are talking up German growth and other economic improvements. Caution on oil and imbalances. Next levels are; 1.2329 8/8 and through highs 1.2360 is +2-8 plus 1.2350 decent-sized stop orders are rumoured to be located with the next batch of option barriers noted at 1.2400. Downside is close at 1.2286 offered suggesting failures - ABC and double top - reversal there - watch spit of a spit. More later - will post a chart ' Have a great Day
Jumped to 1.2310 - staying in swing side with stop up to 1.2293 offered now - option was to get out of half as figure spit - bacause of EURJPY pennant am trying to give EURUSD potential.
Took Profit at 1.2302 as EURJPY failed to break Murrey 8-8 - set up failure - gain 9 pips. Now probaility of double top higher - orders are to buy break on EUR 1.2327 stop .16 offered. Short Euro 1.2286 offered stop .97 bid Will look for better swing trades to post Existing Hiome deals (US) & Oil Inventories the main deal today it seems
Nice scalping move though I normally don't scalp too much but when when undecided on wave - is this a C or 5 (the high I mean) need to keep it tight. So we are short at1.2285 per the above order we trade 1.2265-66 here am bringing my stop down to 1.2276 bid - option of course of taking the qucik near 20 pips but as undecided on wave count and fact we are abover the 50 retest and spinning the 4-8 good risk reward to let work - option is to take half. This is where it all comes down to your risk profile and personality - it is all psychological. Anyway just wanted to post a few trades of what I see and why and try to get them here real time. Nice start to the day. Will post some charts and some swings when I get a break from trading here. Have a great day
Choppy day on the Euro happy to have got some positives there - USD JPY and EURJPY breaks following AUDJPY and NZDJPY from yesterday - clearly the Yen is weak. Will aim for +2-8 on AUD & NZD v.Yen - been very nice long reversals off panic driven seeling. 87.20 first AUDJPY congestion Watching Sell entries on these and for Euro to test 50 ema again EURJPY 142.08 and 142.25 are keys at this time Will be back later with charts

There was also similar set ups today in USDJPY & AUDJPY. Yen has been particularly weak of late - with great ranges - Note hear the Murrey Math Fractal spit and 2-8 to -2-8.
