Thanks Knell👍 - I'll do that (I'm not sure about my excel abilities, but I'll try it - no harm in trying)
Also I wanted to ask you about gold - I've noticed you follow it. So if gold goes up would you see it as dollar's weakness and go long eur/usd, gbp/usd etc. end vice versa. Can you exploit that difference - dollar weakness coming after gold's strength (I always assumed that markets react almost simultaneously to each other nowadays?)

Gold strength for me indicates dollar weakness either due to "risk on" or concerns over future inflation pressures due to central banks printing money. Rather than say I will buy eur/usd when gold strengthens, I'd rather say I would be cautious buying euro if gold was not showing some strength, also if euro strengthens and gold stays flat I would be more comfortable shorting eur/usd.

Gold is my comfort blanket to help re-enforce where I feel I should be trading, works for me but may not for anyone else..

short usd/cad at 1.0006 sl 1.0026

Staying away from this one now, agree a Bear 123 now on 1hr and a potential supply zone, might get some reaction down, but 4hr looks like Bullish Hidden Divergence suggesting still more upside maybe 1.0090 to 1.0100 area??? Good luck.

short EU at 13000, top at 13040..

 

[Knell]

short EU at 13000, top at 13040..

closing at 12993 for +7, I think there must be an option expiry today at 13000, not sure if that will expire 14:00 or 15:00 today, anyone know?

Will look to short at today's high again.

 

[Knell]

I don't know about it - sorry.

Just curious - does it mean that price has to hit 13000 if the thing is to expire at 13000?

at 15:00 (or 14:00 with time change), the price closes at 13000 (or very close to 13000)

 

[Knell]

now we'll see if option was holding euro down or up

 

[Knell]

long EU from 12980, SL 12940

 

[Knell]

Funny how it's playing all sort of tricks and we know it's going to 13000😎

The problem is I'm not sure if the expiry is at 14:00 or 15:00 because of the hour time change..if it's 14:00 then missed it..

 

[Knell]

I like the idea (option expiry) - if only we can get info on them from somewhere

do you subscribe to any forex news alerts?
