Best Thread My Journal at a Prop house

Little bit of a rangy slow day but EJ setting up short again so order entry is pending.
 
Moring Guys,

Got a lovely down trend pretty much across the whole month on the EU. I have fibbed from the high of this move down to the low and we can see even though there has been a few fat green bullish bars the actually trend is still down. Price at the 38.2% fib level so def a possibility that we find some form of resistance here and so Im look for a potential short in favour of selling a rally in a downtrend.

So hopefully be able to get on the score board here as the Euro proving very frustrating yesterday.

Pozzy :)

EU reacting off that 38.2 and making lower high lower low with a little help of some negative Greek news.


So the short has set up and using the lower time frame to get my entry.

I think he uses 3 min for entry level. I think this is how he would have played the trade and potentially myself. You marked off the Range pretty good. I think the 15min chart allows too much of a break of the range before the pullback. Sell at 77. USDJPY is a ugly pair for breaking ranges because of the small daily average range. In this case i think you should check out EURJPY. I stick to mainly EURJPY, GBPUSD and EURUSD. I have issues with USDJPY at the moment because the trend is up, but there are buyers of JPY and USD when the market falls (Indices, commodities ag USD etc..)

Thanks for posting fellas.

Looking like it’s going to be another quiet week on the Journal front as got my first FSA exam on Monday boooo so any spare time is going into that. Nice trade though Pocrel how much you take in the end??
 
got some nice pips on that usd/jpy but missed all the lovely real trends of the day shame could have been a huge day for me :(

anyway move on, as for my charts my entries come from the 5min BRETTUS not the 15min as i dont have 3min on metatrader4 must start using meta5 but just not got round to it but i think 5min is good enough for an entry off the 1hr chart

best of luck with the fsa pozzy catch you soon

Morning guys.

Bit of analysis on cable and a look at a potential short.
There have been some great moves the last week or two but to be honest very treacherous trading conditions. When volatility is up stops can get very wide and price chops, changes and turns around so quickly that it can make life very difficult.

Looking at a Cable 4Hr I have marked off a support trend line which tracks back to the start of March which is where Cable found Support and a big spike bar after a rather large sell off. The resistance trend line has been a dragging on since the end of last year with a little false breakout a few months ago. So certainly the potential for price to head back down to the lower trendline.

Dropping down to the 15Min there is clear support at yesterdays low which is also todays low (well was at the time of writing this) and price making a couple of lower highs so looking for the breakout to downside and the chance to get short. (just happend and trade pending)

Not my usual style of trading but adapting to the current market conditions I’ve seen a few of these patterns and they are paying so sticking with em.
