just managed to have the charts for spot forex in place.
you are right mister. good entry is virtually imposible.
ha. No wonder I gave up on spot forex decades ago; charts are sooo spiky jerky
unpresentable messy long tail here long tail there long tail everywhere.
no problem. still can trade Ruble, lira, ZAR, peso, rupee ... futures through various exchanges.
that means paying few hundred dollars for the data fees, and see how tradable those futures are.

14 Aug Asian session
Yesterday most asian index futures long red candle
so far NQ, and most Asian index futures not moving.
perhaps waiting for coming China news.
so is it CALM after STORM?
Anyway there might be sudden news/events. just be alert.
sigh .... not much hope trading spot forex.
spot forex charts are really messy jerky spiky erratic.
quite a few forex pairs hibernate for many many months, then wake up for few days,
then hibernate again and again.
seems like we have to let fundamentalists and bankers profit from trading spot / forward forex.
Not all things are suitable for day trading.
let me study for few more days before I give up trading spot forex forever and ever,
till end of time.

14 Aug Eur session
during asian session, star performer goes to Hangseng
yesterday long candles :
gold, italy btp.
well. Financial experts said in time of trouble, people buy gold.
Financial experts also said people buy US$ (and sell gold !?!?! ) in time of trouble !
eur gbp - are they going to sleep again?
yesterday futures with wide range :
crude oil
longed Italy btp @ 204p. straight forward reversal up signal
Hmmm. look at how ruble, lira, zar went down so rapidly.
not suitable for technical day trading.
perhaps have to use EMOTION to trade.
Fearful - then sell
Greedy - then buy.
