Actually positive news are good for the Euro and S&P500 but for now, it seems that bad news brings back the Risk Off trade which has been good for the dollar. Than can change though.

That´s what makes a market. It´s the beauty of this game. Some of us are convinced it´s going down while others are equally convinced of the contrary. Fascinating indeed. By the way, every minute that passes at around 76.80 without a break, makes ...

Not yet my friend. Price can poke its ugly nose over the price trendline a pip or two, but as long as the RSI trendline continues to hold and continues to climb, the odds are with the longs. Every rejection makes an upward explosion soon more and ...

More of the same. — USDJPY H4 is testing the RSI trendline (bottom of chart) for the umpteenth time. It tries to break it over and over, so far unsuccessfully. We will see what happens. This is really interesting.

Another very bullish sign is that the 60 EMA has crossed above the 200 SMA for the first time in 2 months AND it is still ascending. We need price to confirm this now by rising above the 60 EMA (At 77.20 now). If that happens I will call it a trend ...

It seems we are getting the bounce of the RSI trendline again after 6 hours of testin 76.80. It would be technically important to close above 77 today, not necessary, but it would be nice.

It´s difficult to say how high we could go, but the base is strong. Since it started over month ago, my THV has given 8 Buy signals (Green arrows on the chart) for only one red arrow. The descent has been steep from June 2007 from 124 to 75.9, ...

Yes. This is the 5th test of the bottom wall of the channel and the 12th test of the RSI trendline. I feel it is well established, BUT it must hold here if my 100+ theory is to remain viable.

USDJPY Price Channel? — I think I may have identified the price channel that contains the price action of USDJPY. The only thing that bothers me about it is the bar of 8/25 where price pierced the top for a an hour or so. If this is the ...

The RSI trendline is still intact making higher lows. The trend is still intact today. The trendline must break for USDJPY to turn bearish. This is a H4 chart.

You are right there. For a long term trade to be viable, there has to be at least a 3 to 1 profit to risk potential. I prefer 5 to 1, but it depends on the time I expect to hold the position.

OK. I´ll give you an example: I entered my 10 contracts EURUSD position at 1.4350 3 weeks ago. If I had set a tight stop loss on it I would have been stopped out not once, but up to 5 times (If I had repeatedly reentered the trade, which I would ...

I think you two are comparing apples and oranges and you are both right. For a short term trade, 200 pips is too much drawdown, but for a buy and hold strategy, 200 pips is not out of the ordinary. You can make money both ways. I hold 10 contracts ...

I agree with every one of his words. Maybe it will be this intervention the "reason" that will build the steep right side of the saucer on the H4 that I expect.

So far so good. Price bounced off the RSI H4 ascending trendline right on time.

Thanks. Trading is not too difficult. What is difficult is controlling your emotions or, should I say, not letting your emotions interfere with what you know has to be done. Any tool that helps you do that, goes a long way towards making you a more ...

You are correct. Many roads lead to Rome. If there is one thing I´ve learned in this game is humility. There is no ONE right way. Heck, I have a friend trader who is very successful and doesn´t look at charts. He is all fundamentals and a great dose ...

I don´t make my trading decision based on price levels. I listen to what my indicators tell me. Sometimes when in doubt I actually turn off the price bars. The picture is much clearer when you look at your favorite indicators alone. As a matter of ...

Trend changes are always established on the RSI, MACD, THV. etc much before they show in price. If you wait for price to show trend, you will lose most profit potential. The big profits are made by betting before it shows in price, with a stop loss, ...
