One Trade a Week

Euro looks beaten up. Lots of data out tomorrow but since we need to meet the deadline tonight I will go with this one.

broken fib play zone looks set to test lows
Entry: 1.7875
Stop: 1.8160
Target: 1.7010

Just for the record, I think the S&P is in an apex of a wedge, could go either way. US$ is strong with gold - always a sign for a short to me when those 2 converge. So I will jump in if we break that apex.

Good luck to you all.

Silver in one choppy mess right now. Thinking of a triangle right now. Wondering whether I should hold it or fold it.

An interesting day for the S&P 500. It dropped as I hoped it would and gave a daily sell-confirmed signal. So I now want to sell a pullback around the 50 day moving average which should hopefully now act as resistance. So I'm changing my order to:

Limit sell order @ 1328
 
Risky move for my trade but I don't like the look of this market, so I'll move my stop to 7152 and lock in a miniscule profit.

[edit] I'll move my target to 7200 as well.
