Position trading calls and ideas

$1163 right here... is a damn good short. Give it lots of room to the upside for a stop, because it likes to spike intra-day, .

It fell to $1135, $1146 now. It should head back up.

Oh well, its $1813 now. Its gonna be a good trader today for sure. I think it heads higher though. We'll see.

There's $1826. I rested an order to short a tiny bit at $1831.35. Day order.

I have a bottom signal which says euro should have a continuation rally to the upside.
The signal used to have high accuracy in the past but the latest signal failed. So I am a little confused this time.
However, I just took a small long position at 1.10468.

My euro call is still valid. Because euro didn't break the bottom formed on 9/3/2019.
The idea is to enter the position at the time of the call, and set a stop beyond the bottom. If euro breaks bottom, I will take the loss, and the signal would be deemed failed. If it doesn't break the bottom, and the rally is coming, I will enjoy the rally with my position.
This time I didn't enter the position and hold to it. Because my last signal failed and I have a rule that if my signal fails, next time I will not trade on it until it works again.

They report 9/24 and I think it's going to sell off. $1163 right here... is a damn good short. Give it lots of room to the upside for a stop, because it likes to spike intra-day, but it should see sub-$1100 pretty soon. Before earnings.

$1129 this morning.

EUR/USD slides lower in rising oil.

Europe imports most of its oil and rising oil on a supply shock is another negative for the already-struggling region. That's weighing on the euro as it falls 50 pips since the open.

This oil spike is messing up my calls.
Not only my euro call is messed up, I was very close to calling a bottom on 10 years T-note.
Now 10 years note is up big on oil spike today, interrupting its nature bottoming process.
Now I don't know whether its bottom process is completed.
Now I can only say 10 years note is very close to its bottom, and after bottom it will have a decent rally to upside. But I can't say if it has reached bottom yet.
