    Hey Patryk, I can see those patterns that you mentioned. I thought that the option with the 1.2900 strike expired at 10:00 AM today. Leaving a path open for Euro to move lower. I could be wrong.

    I know nothing about expiry date (this particular one) - it could be off the table, or not - hard to say

    I know what you mean, Morris. Those Sunday gaps are notorious for throwing a spanner in the works.

    edit: 1h chart attached - double top below kumo and just shy of 80sma -it looks good to me

    I see the gap at 1.3087. We could get a pop up to fill it.

    Gold I flatenned it out already was long then short for some quickies.. Euro kept waitng and neither the shorts from 2970 nor longs starting from 2892 kicked in..
    anyways was fun till it lasted on short GU.......

    GL..
    Patience is virtue. The sooner we learn this all, sooner we can start walking to the bank. Good Luck to all of us—
    The trick is to wait the price meet ur limits, instead of one jumping in.. however scalps is a totally different scenario and is not everyone's cup of tea

    I actually meant 3 gap rule during a trend - beggining gap (checked), acceleration gap, exhaustion gap

    the question arises are we going to make a strong support here or strong resistance for future

    for now the range is 2946-2913
    earlier was 2970-2936

    and now we are trading in lower range

    Keep it simple. Simple time-tested methods that are
    well executed will beat fancy complicated methods every time.

    trade safe!

    this is my view for the next 10/12 hours we may see prices consolidating more b4 resuming its down trend

    have a great weekend!

    Leaving max EUR/USD short in the real account, stop-loss set to where profit is locked in (they have been riding down from 2950) except in case of a huge gap up (a huge gap down would be nice!) Demo account also carrying short Aussie/Loonie (I am up to $66K in fake money-- maybe fake money will be exchangeable into drachmas soon).

    EDIT: the buffer on the poll is still buggy. It shows me as having already voted-- as a Euro bull! I think that means it still remembers me saying Hollande would win.

    Patryk,

    Thank you for suggesting the FFox and its private browsing to me. That rocks.

    Good luck,

    AV1

    By the way this is my work place (home), I have no mouse, using touch pad instead. Crazy heh?!!!

    Hello Everyone,

    Have been following this thread for some time and this is my first post.

    Think the EURUSD will move up to Red Line 1 before heading down to Red Line 2. Red Line 2 is a major support and chances we'll see a reversal at Red Line 2.

    Have a peaceful weekend.

    Nope! Closed out for a 34 pips loss. Still an overall gain... Happy! @@

    Cool

    Euro
    The BEARS are riding the BULLS with whips out & spurs in.
    On the longer time frames the mighty US$$ appears to finally be in command.
    The Euro has finally succumbed. This is a Weekly chart, so lotsa ups n downs on the way to the targets as smaller charts will confirm. Next target 1.2840...

    Hi Ikee, thanks for the charts though I can't seem to be able to zoom in on them. Would you tell me a little more about them?

    Cheers, Melb.
