6E1! trade ideas
Let's play catch...the knife! Why you don't try to catch a falling knife. It would be great to be short..but we are not. Knife hurt when you catch them. On side lines with the euro.
Down goes Euro, down goes Euro...LESSONS:
1. If you missed the break down then you can't chase the trade.
2. If you missed the trade DO NOT try to catch the falling knife. You most likely take a hit to your account.
3. Wait for for something to setup...patience is your accounts best friend.
What's up the with EURO? No setups at this moment. We are sitting on our hands waiting. Stay tuned.
Head fake freddyWe are still watching the E6 closely. There was a false move on Friday. Could this have been the first pump before running? If they push it down Monday or Tuesday the weak longs will get squeezed and bail on their trades. Best to wait for a close outside of the wedge before looking for a trigger.
Would've, could've...Yes, the E6 is still falling out of bed. And YES, it would have been nice to still be short but that's trading. We rang the cash register as per our plan and we accept that. UNDERSTAND something...you will NEVER catch the exact top or bottom. You just want your share. :)
There is nothing for us to do with the E6. Time to be patient.
The finish line is in sight. Mr. Draghi keeps helping us sneak closer to our 2nd target. He must be reading our posts ;)
Nonetheless, we have pulled stops down to where our first target was hit. We are so close to the 2nd target that we need to tighten things up. It would be foolish to get this close and let a huge swing take us out. This has been a great trade and has paid us nicely. Take a look at our past posts to see how we initiated and managed the trade.

EURUSD - Double bottomWeekly chart here
The daily chart shows a double bottom, with a huge divergence on momentum indicators.
Considering the way the weekly charts moves, I would say a correction to the larger downtrend is highly probably. However, I believe that there is more downside coming in a few weeks. I expect the daily double bottom to play out and offer a better shorting opportunity. Till then, I am long this market.
She broke clean!The break is clean so we are looking for a small pull back on a lower time frame to get short. We will be up early to watch European session. Stay tuned!
Moving to the sidelinesThe Euro blew through our support watch area. LESSON: This is why we look at lower time frames for entries. If you are blindly trying to enter on support/resistance your account will get ripped. With the Euro zone weakening we will stand on the sidelines until the market firms up or we see a nice pullback.
Be patient...the Euro will give us opportunity.
Euro Currency - pre BCE QEMassive H&S. We are currently below the neckline in a well enstablished downtrend. The recent consolidation offers a good opportunity to enter short Euro (E6U14). Immediate terget on the median line - 1.32040. QE by BCE on the horizon?
Watch ListKeep the Euro on your radar screen. It's consolidating and will most likely move soon. She's come a long way so another move down could result in a snap back rally. If she breaks to the upside first look for a re-test of the break down lows.
