Long

EURUSD Outlook 3/5

Updated

Bullish overall on XXXUSD pairs, but NFP is this friday, its not as straighforward how price gets to its final objectives but this is what I find interesting at the moment.

Note

plotting. will see what develops, would like to catch a trade either today or tomorrow then observe the rest of the week

Note

took a short before confirmation, but we are in a 2hr FVG. might be a little early. lets see what NYSE decides.

Trade closed: stop reached

Note

giving the short another go.

Note

SL is BE. aiming for a 1:1 projection (standard deviation) of the trading above the 12AM open price, reflected below it for my 1TP. 2nd TP is the monthly open price.

Note

added a second.

Note

hoping to get a drop before the day closes.

Note

still holding first position, had to give it room overnight.

Note

lol, thanks Powell.

Note

closed full position here cus I dont want to stomach a retrace.

Note

I dont think the selling is over, but the market might want to take out all the "price chasers"

I will consider a re-entry if we get a retracement to this level.

Note

Ignore that random stop loss level, that was used to measure the open price on an 8hr candle and not for actual trade management.

Note

TP2 hit after being deleted. Still comfortable with the decision cut and run earlier. However this is a win for analysis.

Note

Considering.

Note

no trade taken. Note how entry criteria failed to form. This is a better approach than buying and praying. identify what you need to see to justify participation, then participate if the market delivers.

Note

buying here

Note

still holding this bag, but looking to get out at small profit.

Trade closed: stop reached

Note

long on EU again, weekly outlook idea is developing nicely.

Note

Added to position

Note

Just need Powell to be a good boy today.

Note

Powell took out my add, I added one back in during the drop

Note

going risk free.

Note

some of what im looking to see.

Note

march open price is giving some resistance, hopefully price can push through.

Note

adding a third position here on demo for education

Note

demo trade didnt hold, SL is back down at BE, had to give it room.

Note

still holding but she's running out of steam. will see what it looks like by days end

Note

ill hold intraday if it closes above the open.

Note

lol what is EU cooking?!

Note

holding. but I dont love it tbh. we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Note

dont love the daily doji with FVG as the market likes to take liquidity on both sides of doji.

Note

going to dial down the hubris factor and shoot for more conservative targets, and respect the daily FVG and its ability to put in a new low once traded into. looking for a 1.5 STD extension of yesterday's asian range for a take profit.

Note

still holding. this is pretty sh*t price action. would like an exit so I can call it for the week.

Note

lol what was that?

not complaining tho. feel more comfortable moving my SL, below the 12am open.

Note

price is struggling to sustain trading above the monthly open but I still believe we get there with some patience.

Note

Need NYSE to behave.

Note

developing, moving SL higher into profits.

Note

im still a believer in this trade but this has to be the worst price action in a while. I will hold till either SL where it currently is, or TP. Or close before NFP even if NFP brings completion I dont want to be in an open trade for that.

Note

this is what im looking for to start thinking about an exit

Note

gave SL more room to below balanced range

Note

nice. could have been a nice entry if i wasnt already involved.

Note

I should take up knitting...

Note

probably my last stoploss move

Note

added a small position with a tight SL.

Note

add got stopped out and I closed trade manually here. Didn't get the push I was looking for and it looks unlikely at this point. extremely annoying trade would not recommend lol.

Note

taking a short, will try to clsoe before NFP.

Note

Lol the market successfully kicked me out of my position and baited me into a bad trade. well played, ill take the reduced profits as a consolation prize.

Till next time.

Note

definitely regretting selling position but c'est la vie.

Note

looking for shorts, taking my first attempt here, will try one more time if it doesnt hold.

Note

initial reaction is encouraging, i would like to add to this if it gives a breaker entry, dont want to double up before im well into profit, unnecessary risk.

Note

i gave it some more room to the high of the last hourly candle, still in this.

Note

stopped out, trying again

Note

was way too impatient for an NFP day today.

Note

short again.

Note

JFC finally getting on the right side today.

Note

note to self, stay off the 1 min chart.

Note

adding here.

Note

balanced ranges might be the most reliable small stoploss entry technique that exists. Will look to study and journal this weekend.

Note

added another and reducing TP level.

Note

closed positions here before market close. This week was good overall. decision making slipped a bit on thursday into friday. in retrospect should have let thursdays long continue to completion and sat out NFP but hindsight is 20-20.

back at it again next week.
