This is after the fact, but so far today I have not done anything but this demo short on crude at the level shown. I actually set the sell limit order and had forgotten about it until it was filled.

 

The recent rally in the 6E &6B has been too choppy and overlapping - I'd like to see some swings break out and extend (impulse/thrust) before I get involved.

Potential reversal on USD/JPY downmove?

 

It's getting late, so even if it was I would not be taking that long at this point.

 

Still a good place for a SL on a short, though, if not tighter.

 

EDIT: Added an image with a trendline I didn't show in the others...

I exited for the 15 min between RTH and globex (broker requirement), but will be getting back in at the same spot, with the same stop when trading resumes in 10 minutes or so.

Oh I know it's not "real time" haha. For the first few minutes after entering, the last thing I'm thinking about is posting it. If it's not real time enough feel free to ignore me! No hard feelings.

Well, that ellipse pretty much encompasses PA on the 6E/EURUSD during my time of day, and let me tell you, that is not my kind of market. The only trade I did all day was a demo on crude for 9 tick loss as I tried to fade the rally only to get steam rolled.

Current view view of the US Dollar index shows the DXYO pulling back from our first resistance target. The assumption for now is that the Buck will pullback to the vicinity of the lower two horizontal trend lines, and then make go at clearing first resistance, and clearing that, I'd expect the buck to rally to the next level shown.

A little late...

 

Trading on the couch with a laptop in my lap is a little much. I believe I'm going to try it with a table and my laptop wireless mouse tomorrow night! ;)

Looking at a channel on the 6E ... this is just mad doodles of a trading waiting for something to happen, so do not take any of the arrow scribbles as prediction, not even anticipation. Just taking notes and drawing marginalia.

 

The channel is interesting though, in the context of the recent downtrend. I would expect at some point for price to break below the lower trend line and retest the low, if not break to new lows.

 

Best Wishes,

Not much has changed since yesterday. The 'immediate' minor R is being challenged and I'll be looking for shorts within there. Should go higher, there is the previously mentioned obvious R at the lower range covering the majority of last weeks entire trading. I'll be more aggressive on shorts and scale them out less aggressively in 1/4ths playing for when the trend will finally re-assert itself. Unless something is brutally obvious, I won't do any long unless we go below Monday's trade, but preferably below 1.5833 on a probe. I'll scale out longs in 1/2s. Anything else is consider scalps with all in/out mentality.

It looks as though the 6E is now on its way to the lower channel line. My guess is that price will bounce there and continue this little rally off last week's low, but that is only a guess.

I see what you're saying...I think likely up to that major red resistance line I've drawn...a short sequence at that red line would be very nice.

 

This current short sequence is tempting, though..

    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
