Going to get long here at 2300. I think the euro has some upside left before it falls more substantially and as pedestrian as it is I think 2300 is an important level to lean on. I am going to risk 20 ticks but I'd like to hold this trade through the night tonight if I can get enough ticks in it to justify a wide stop that's still above breakeven...

Excellent call! On the nose! What made you decided to go long at 2300? Can you post a chart?

After all, it's what you learn AFTER you know it all, that counts!

Rising trend line + VWAP (ETH) + previous swing high + round number ending with 00 = confluence of levels.

Well my accuracy in this case was as much luck as skill. I posted a 60m chart - it is the full ETH session with H, L, and C printed. Yesterday we failed to break down out of the day prior's low and today we couldn't get close before we broke out of the high of yesterday. This has me thinking bullish but it is only a bias - the market will move where it wants. We bounced off that high from the 26th at 2340 or so and pulled back. I suspected we would test that high again and so I just started looking more closely at where that test (back up) would start. 2300 seemed like a good spot - both because of the round number and because it was near R2 which had been resistance during the Asia session (see the 5m chart posted).

Hope that helps - I'm trying to do some longer timeframe trades in the Euro so get some practice with that kind of trading. I don't find it easy but I think its a good exercise.

I got my target. After sitting on the fence contemplating if I was being a good little patient trader or if I was being a "dick for a tick."

Yes it's a two lot, the market needed to reach down 3 more ticks to get the others.

I didn't post a call on this trade but you can see it was a buy above/below the VWAP and a trip through even (which I don't like) to the +2 SD level.

I don't like holding trades a@ 8:20 am est, I consider that time the start of the US session and a new group of traders come into the market, and things change. At this level any attempt at 1.2450 should draw a crowd,,, and volume. I took some profit on that first trade and waited for the "new batch of traders" to push the market around and position themselves for another attempt at 1.2450. That's what I'm seeing. I'm long again from 1.2420.
