I am not sure if I understand your joke or if you are trying to be sarcastic in your post. I can dig your old post and show how in the past you kept flipping your long and bear Euro position.

I don't overtrade just because I believe in a certain count or price direction. I only trade when I believe it's a high probability setup. I usually also post price entry, stop loss, and target profit in real time, like stryker, when I do enter a trade, so others can clearly see how wrong I am I don't just put a chart and analysis of what I think the market is going.

Good luck in your 200 pips profit beforehand.

I think Terton may actually be right. Look at oil & gold shooting up, seems dollar bulls may have been misled.

It's all part of the cycle. IMO, dollar bulls is not misled. EUR is one of the clearest currency pair to do EW analysis.

If the count I had in my earlier chart is correct, it's very obvious EUR has to first correct in a zigzag. Wave A target = 1.5673. Upon reaching A, wave B target = 1.5566. After reaching B, wave C target = 1.5779.

EUR will then start to go downhill again from there. Right now I am putting my standing short order at 1.5779 to catch the next 5 wave down. This standing order is probably going to be executed in the next 3 days.

P.S. There is a good chance that correlation between oil and EUR will soon break. Look at Italm nice analysis at the EW forum for the reason.

Wow, this looks like a clear trading plan - but you are just playing wave C so 1,5566 to 1,5779?

You are up early ? - where are you from Cmellon ?

stryker is on a distinguished road
Send a message via AIM to stryker Send a message via Yahoo to stryker
just finished decent scalps on longs above 5598 to the current high and then shorts from around the highs for another 27 pips.

leaving for the better part of the day and leaving intact short entries from around close to 5666 with stops above.
i hope to see 5585-5666 getting palyed out and anything above or below i don't have stomach for it today..
come tomorrow and depending upon the numbers 5775-85 would be on the cards. possible extension testing 5820 region (would not miss shorts with tight stops)

last week or so is just take what u can and make a run for it.....
things should be clearer once the NFP is out the way..

GL..........

Went long at 5575 and TP at 5620.
Took a short now, waiting for the GDP.

Hi b3,

Actually I plan to play after wave C is finished (similar to stryker), that is going short around 1,5779. Today, 1,5641 is merely a 50 fib retracement, not as high as I would like it to be 61.8 fib retracement to 1,5673, but it's still early today. Depending on the price movement after NFP on Friday (NFP is very unpredictable), I may decide to even play safer, that is proving that EUR indeed falls down further in wave 1 after wave C is finished, retraced to wave 2, then I will definitely enter going short for wave 3.

I currently live in HK, GMT+8

GL.

All right, sounds good, getting more and more comfortable with the combination of EW and fibos.

Strykers Tls though still keep wondering me...he does not combine EW 2-4 and 1-3 trend channels - so what concept is this - pretty accurately predicting tops and bottoms


Best wishes to HK -- nice!
I am based in the heart of the Alps Innsbruck/ Austria !

GL today !

Hallo Innsbruck, ich selbst bin aufgewachsen in der Scheiz, in der Naehe von Zuerich, lebe seit einiger Zeit 1-1/2 Stunden westlich von Boston. Hier giebt es keine Alpen, jedoch viele Waelder und kleine Seen. Nicht so dicht besiedelt wie die Schweiz.

Stryker trades purely based on Trend Line. He is the expert on it. Any method of trading in the hand of a capable person can be profitable.

Check out the strategy forum (see in particular Elliot Wave forum) for very good posting from members such as brad. He combines many of these methods (Fib, EW, TL, candlestick, and other technical indicators) to give some really interesting trade recommendation.
