I say we close below 8k.

Not so sure..... just when we think we have read the market, it turns around and hands you your ****!
This has got to be the easiest money in the world. LOL

Come on Joey, I know how it sounds but don't hate the player. It's not that being consistent is easy but there are some trades that are so blindingly obvious and you have to take advantage of that easy money...
I firmly believe that by being patient and waiting for the market to come to you and then only entering the market at these pivots a trader will put the odds significantly in their favour.
Any comments on a possible setup on the Daily USDJPY? Two inside bars against a Pin Bar that's touched a Support line and the CCI showing oversold? Go long on the break above the Pin Bar?
That's not the best looking pin bar plus Friday's session is not an inside bar...also, I would ignore what the CCI says - the fact that it is oversold means literally nothing as it can stay in oversold territory for a long time...but it is a good support. Still, not one for me. Particularly because I expect equities to drop this week. The best play in USD/JPY was buying it as it made the double bottom. Risk reward was incredible and made for a very profitable trade. I know Omni caught it...I wonder if anyone else did.
I actually favour the Pound which has formed daily pin bars at a long term support level. We are looking at a 200 pip gap down on the open so I may buy and play for a gap fill.
Thanks for the prompt feedback TD So how do you play buying the double bottom? Is it a case of buying as it hits the actual bottom, or do you wait for a move back up from the bottom to confirm the bounce and avoid any move straight through the S/R?
Hey dude, with a double bottom like that, what I like to do is trail a buy entry say 10 pips above the price when it gets say 5-10 pips from the double bottom and as soon as I am in, put my stop below the lowest point price reached. Sometimes you need a few goes to get it.
If it goes through the double bottom, I put my buy entry say 1 pip above what should have been support and will keep it there unless we break it significantly. That way you are in on the right side if price comes back and the short term breakout traders need to cover giving it some momentum back to the upside. You have to be pretty agile and make sure you do more than 1 unit so you can get some out quickly to cover the risk and leave the rest on incase you really have caught a low for the next 10 years

What price source is this from TD and what price do you have 1.3600 ish ?
Hey CV, this is what xe.com was quoting but it appears it was wrong. We are currently trading at 1.3744.
Hi guys, it's going to be a busy week this week as earnings season gets underway. Best play I can see this week is to get short equities but remember it's going to get very volatile. Several people are asking me about the GBP daily setup. It's a difficult one. Usually I don't regard fundamentals but I am very certain equities are going to leg lower and that will probably provide some strength to the dollar. Trade with caution.
