Gold just broke 1340. Added to short euro, aud. Already out of GBP from higher, couldn't pull the trigger on a retrace so I shorted other stuff.

Out of everything for some meager gains. Hey, it's better than a stick in the eye.

Out of GBP -8. Still holding JPY, aud short. Aud from .36 on the most recent bounce.

Short GBP at .36. long USD/JPY at .21 here. Missed short in aud-- scratched it higher up selling on first bounce towards.50.

Yep. That didn't look like a nice gentle pullback in aud, Nzd. Sitting on my hands

I like how you get a nice looking breakout setup, then it sells off 25 or more points just to take out some stops and keep everyone honest.

Yes. I see. When you say assured I can identify with that. Without being confident, even if my analysis is correct, I'm going to make a mistake guaranteed. I'm pretty sure the market tells me which way it wants to go, if I'm patient, pay attention and stay out of my head.

Nzd hourly has a pretty nice looking chart. Aud too but it's not as tight.

What is certainty? And why do I need it anyway?

I gave up peeing into the wind for the most part. Life just seems better, and is more profitable for sure. Maybe you'll miss the move if you don't jump on it right now.

1. Define strong. 2. If you are going to take a breakout from a range, a good setup isn't going to come along every time. You need all all or most of the elements to be working, and that doesn't happen often. Live with it. If it's not working get out. If it does start to work again, try to find...

What is it about that chart that looks "toppy" to you?

Yes but the tape is up. Some conflict is always part of trading, but it's particularly strong right now IMO. Trading fast and light until it gets better.

Maybe that's what is keeping the euro up. If you see me finally throw in the towel and get bullish, you probably should short it.

Scalped long euro, cad, aud. Cad broke nicely on a 123 bottom usd/cad. Out. No momentum in Aud for sure yet. Still don't like trading euro from the long side.

No clear direction to currencies this am.

Dollar creeping up again. Looking for gold to break down. Not trading in front of fomc, even though pattern says short aud, euro. But no momentum right now. Tried to short aud at .26 but just scalped out for a few pips.

Let the market tell you.

Cad really strong, but it's been up 8 days in a row. I'd be looking for some signs of weakness.

I am right on the fence about the Euro. That sort of felt like a little blow off right out of one area of resistance right into another. Right now the tape still has to be considered positive, but I'm staying back. Aud really trading kind of funny too, lagging the Euro. The way I see it, Aud and...
