That divergence also exists on the 15M which I identified a while ago, however, it doesnt seem to matter as were still getting bullish action.

So much for that idea, the resistance line I idenfied was just blown through. I went back in time a little, this area were in seems to be a significant resistance area. And while I dont use formations, this would seem to be a H&S?

I think Ive identified a strong resistance point at about 16063 marked with the red line. I believe this is also the high of a couple weeks ago isnt it? Trend lines ive put in orange. Thoughts?

If it drops to the 50 fibo Ill be able to close my trades with a 42% gain on my account. Its been difficult, more than normal, but such is FX.

Im right where you are at 5 lots short ($50/pip), but Im confident in my analysis. If im wrong im wrong and Ill deal with it then. Even as it is, its only an 11% drawdown on this account which is acceptable.

Fair enough. I never expect anyone to take me seriously and often forget that my views, wrong or right, can influence the unprepared.

Gold is its own monster. I have a separate account where I traded gold, wasnt very profitable so I pulled out. (new high on GU as i type this). With the upcomming NFP i expect sideways movement this week.

BE = Break Even TF = Time Frame While Ive been trading for just over 3 years now, I still dont have a clue. Dont take my comments as entry signals please. I would hate to cost anyone money. I post to get feedback, to improve my knowledge and skill.

Entered a short at 16010, 1/3 the size of the short at 15875. Brings my BE up to 15909. Will continue to look for additional entry.
