Thanks for your updates…I made back most of my previous losses with your EUR/USD trade, even getting in late…

That’s good, if you made back your money. The most important thing is to keep trading even if the market is giving us hard time. Because we never know, where the big move is and when it will start

thanks

I think that this is an interesting time for EUR/USD, with many people suggesting going long, and many suggesting going short. This is a helpful learning point for newer traders: if one looks at the Monthly and Weekly charts, one could draw a falling trendline, and say that we are currently touching that, or just coming off a touch, which would suggest that Price is going to fall further. However, fans of the shorter timeframes, and followers of fundamentals, are often advocating a rise in this pair, rather than a fall. It is possible to support each position with technical analysis. So a trade boils down to two things: firstly, individual trading style, which factors each trader feels carry more weight. Secondly, timing. It has been possible to make pips going both Long and Short on EUR/USD in the last few days, as long as the timing was right.

It is often said that there can exist strong arguments for going both Long and Short at the same time; I thought that this was a sufficiently clear-cut example for it to be worth making the point.

swingexpert: if I can ask a question, how much (if at all) do you take the Monthly chart into account when scanning for trades?

Apologies for the rambling point, btw, hopefully it was of some interest, at least!

yes Simon, you right…i use monthly charts from time to time

just shorted the eur/usd at 1.4085 sl 1.4158 target 1.3950
i will buy eur/cad at 1.3798 sl 1.3703 tp1=1.3925 tp2=1.4100

if you missed the enrty, you can still short it at 1.4035 with sl at 1.4150 tp 1.3950

normally we should be at break even on the euro trade…price took me out at b.e i believe it is turning back. if you didn’t move your stop to b.e, then close the trade now…

buy the eur/cad at 1.3768 sl=1.3630 tp1=1.3900 tp2=1.4100
