GU: Watching for a short now or maybe around the 1.6235ish level...

 

EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize Thales had just made a post about the GU... :)

GBPUSD looks like its caught in the middle of a giant game of chicken.

 

... but they're not selling it, yet. So the bulls have the upper hand, for now. Almost looks like pre-launch. I'll buy a break to new highs or sell a 123. My stop on a long would go below wherever this pullback finds a low.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

You're allowed to post, too, Cory. I don't have a monopoly on this thread.

I only got one measly signal today that stalled when I was in it and I bailed with a tick of profit before a fairly tiny pop (but enough to get 2:1).... slow freaking start to the week. Hopefully it picks up.

 

Cheers!

I'm done for the day...not trading this...but looks like a potential long opportunity on the EU...

 

(EDIT: I watch the 15 minute, but I posted this 5 minute chart so it was easier to see the action I was seeing in real-time.)

REAL TIME Long NQ, might be chasing a ghost again. Tgt may change on the fly.

Update---(14:16EST)

Momentum appears to be dying out and may have extended as far as it is going to at least temporarily. Looking to give it one more move/attempt up before really tightening stop.

 

Update---(14:52EST)

@ BE now(blue line), I'm done with this thing. Will update.

I stepped away for a bit to get ready to go, and I came back to this on the 5 min chart. Not really going anywhere. Well, whatever, I didn't take it.

 

I'm out of here...be back tomorrow morning.

 

I'm going to try my hardest to get my butt out of bed early! I've been on at 9:30 AM EST the last couple days...my goal is 7:30!!!

 

As a matter of fact...I'm not going to just try, I'm going to "do." See you at 7:30!! :)

There still may be a long opportunity on the EU, yet!

 

My other post may have been premature.

 

However, if it breaks the low, I've marked 3 levels that I see as potential support.

 

You could potentially short and ride it down to those levels, but I'd be apt to wait for a long opportunity at one of them.

 

I won't be watching this in real-time (or trading it)...just thought I'd make one final post.

I have been tempted ...

 

I took the short on the 6E (EURUSD) as it triggered first. As for the 6B (GBPUSD shown here) I am not interested in longs unless it moves above the recent highs, or pulls back towards the recent lows. Right now, I would be interested in the following opportunity to go short of it. Yesterday's 100 tick try resulted in a break even effort after having been up +55 ticks. This may very well turn out the same, or worse.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

long entry setup for Gold. 1-2-3 coming out of overnight chop zone above support.

 

I dont believe this is a 123 that is discussed often in this thread that would just be a continuation trade. A 123 in the Trader Vic / Thales sense is a reversal trade...

Missed that Long continuation with EUR/USD, may have thought too much about a possible chopzone.

 

ADD: 1st target reached.

 

ADD: new 2 day high

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
