So you always wait for the hour close before trading breakouts? I must say that breakouts are harder to trade than pullbacks. At least in pullbacks there tends to be previous s/r you can identify. For breakouts there's always this "is this fake ...

hey boulder, do you ever trade breakouts? or only pullbacks? I haven't really figured out how to trade breakouts. Just wondering how others do it.

Really hoping it's just the options pull. Coz I really don't think that shadow budget announcement thing has teeth. At least not yet. Honestly surprised it jumped up so much. Going to give it till 11 before I change my bias. We might just fall back ...

Honest thought: AJ is not in a downtrend. 1h bullish 4h bullish 1day just turned bullish last week. Week is still bearish. I'd say if you want to remain short, you probably need to wait until the upward momentum dies out.

why don't you guys get a uk broker? Quite a few clearing houses there with none of these rules. Or australia is kinda fine too.

EU 1H is back in uptrend. Going to start going long. Or maybe just call it a day. Start again on monday.

man this market move down makes me think that someone already knows the result of tonight's nfp. And he's secretly selling to get in earlier. It's so unusual to see the market be so lively just before nfp.

I think eu bulls are done for today. Don't think it will go any higher unless the tweet machine starts.

The Swamp

going to start shorting eu. 1st one 1065

I agree the bias is to long. But also saying that we have moved real hard past 2 days. A bit of correction before going higher would be ideal. I don't really like buying into resistance.

The Swamp

actually we're a little bit in no man's land. too scared to go long. not ready to go short. best to wait more and trade less. until something pops up.

2139 first. Mofo zone there

oh shi... i Hope my target gets hit before he says something

Just a friendly reminder. Tariffs set in end of this week. I'm assuming trump lied about his 2 productive phone calls yesterday. It is unlikely china will be the first to cave in either since they are tyring to put up a tough front. So just be ...
