EurUsd now @ 1.2571 .... stay Short
agressive take short profit 5-min. STOP = 1.2600
(STOPS closing basis 5-min.)
note the 200 m.a. overhead and use judgement if TP occurs by waiting to see if its just an upwave completion or a real reversal.
A nice 5-min downtrendline also passes @ 2610, so there are some nice anchors.
Off to workout for hours, be back later.
Review in hindsight ......
after I made the call Euro continued down in line with my premise to STAY SHORT, but I wasn't here to update the lower prices, so the 5-min. chart will show that my thought-ing was right on the money. If this continues much longer I'm going to have to move back to the forex trading forum and go to battle with realmoney. But not yet. I'm not ready yet. I need to work my foundational stuff some more.
See how nicely profit can be taken at trendline break @ 1.2582?
Then after going LONG @ 1.2593 the max. I could lose if wrong is 9 pips. For something as good as this, I'd hold the current LONG postion instead of figure-figuring too much and let the market tell me if the upwave is just a bearrally or not ....
Note that the STOP is right around the 200 m.a. so even if triggered, I'd give it some leeway for a bounce off the 200. So in this particular case, the STOP is flexible.
