Crude oil stopped out at 67.00 for +300 pips. EUR/USD also stopped out for +100 pips. So, now only one position is running. That is Soybeans futures. Currently at 1151 (Sold at 1195). I have moved the stop at 1175.

I have set limit order to buy E/U at 1.4025 and a stop order for another buy at 1.4125. One of them should be triggered today. SL and RP will be 50 pips apart. Last trade for soybeans stopped out for +20$ profit.

After the problem area is broken, its a good buy. Even if it falls, then there is a strong support at around 1.4025. If it goes straight away up, then it might find minor resistance at 1.4175 around. But it seems that it will be penetrated to reach 1.4300 around. The trendline is clearly broken, so falling down is very hard.

My buy is triggered just now at 1.4125 and I have 'reverse position' for the safety in case things turn around.

Hi Epilogue, and others viewing this thread.

First id like to apologize if you have copyright on your last picture, i can remove it : )))

Your picture is perfect there is everything what should be there.

But i used your picture and added there 2 trendlines, because there is nice support line with 3 lows where 3rd has been touched almost on pip yesterday. Looks like main trend gets weaker but it doesnt matter same thing happend when eur/usd was 1.5 year ago and only double top on 1.6 could stop it so as Epilogue showed there is nice long trend with problem area, but my opinion is that this area sholud be broken because everything shows for it, but today is FOMC and those days are very "interesting" sometimes

If my stop gets hit at 1.4125, I am reversing again. I have set pending buy order at 1.4125. I am chasing it.

yea 61fibo is correct and looks like price created temporary resist there right now, and heading south, my opinion is take some TP at 1.4000 because this level looks like pretty important to me and next TPs on violet trendline /i made in previous post/

but maybe you got better exits points, so good luck to your sells

Looks like your long is in pretty nice profit and you would like to stay opened during fomc ?

Epilogue, you seem busy today. Making lots a pips. I'm staying out the market until at least after FOMC. I don't think I have the size balls you have. You're doing well.

Good trading.

Ok. This is midnight here and I have just opened my account. I see my E/U position is stopped out at 1.4053. So, only +38 pips.

I see that gold has hit 941 and I am not in a position. I knew and wrote yesterday that gold would bounce off the 915 and in fact it did. These things do happen regularly. Anyway, few pips gathered today. I am going to sleep again. Good night.

Thanks. But you see I got stopped out for few pips. I am disappointed that I missed the long entry on Gold. Could have made a huge profit today. And how is your week going on? Must be lot of pips!

Eur/Usd has gone flat. No trend is getting established here. It just tries to go one direction and all of a sudden comes back to same place. I would rather keep an eye on Gold and crude oil now. I will trade E/U next week only unless something interesting happens.

I will be buying gold if it successfully breaks that 941 resistance. For crude oil, i will be watching 65.50 closely for a good buy. If that doesn't happen, I am off this week.

I was considering to enter on gold when it reaches 941. It is friday and it is already there. I was hoping it to happen on monday. I am really afraid to enter now. I am waiting for monday. Crude oil is also jumping. So I think it will also give opportunity on next week.
Hopefully, Eur/Usd will break its rangebound movement today and give something to work on.

So, today, I will be just watching price go up and down.

I have put limit order for crude oil to buy at 69.50. The point is that it has pierced this price resistance yesterday and now it is just retracing to touch this level and jump off it.

I have SL and RP at 69.00. Lets hope it gets triggered.
