01/28/09 8:08 am - EURUSD: Long exited at 1.3238

The downside break of the channel support line caused me to exit my long at a 56 point loss. Will stay on the sidelines for now, since there is no clear direction at the moment. Hourly RSI is still bullish but rolling over.

01/28/09 2:06 am - EURUSD: Further Advance, Exit and Reverse

Bullish trend continues, and I exited my short trade at 1.3296 and went long at 1.3294. Stop 1.3195, target 1.3530. Daily and hourly RSI now clearly bullish. Only concern is potential for double top at next resistance at 1.3335.

01/27/09 4:19 pm - EURUSD: Downside Pressure persists, extended profit target

I extended my profit target on the short position to 1.3005, since downside pressure persists and the pair continues to trade below the hourly EMA10 for most of the time. RSI still falling and bearish.

01/26/09 1:28 am - EURUSD: Short at 1.2938

Went short at 1.2938, after 1.2950 was rejected twice and downside pressure persists. Stop at 1.3055 for now, but will tighten soon. Target conservative at 1.2790.

01/22/09 3:36 pm - EURUSD: Short exited at entry

Exited my short at entry level. Sidelined until new trend emerges. Slightly favoring the long side based one the “round-bottom theory” for now.

01/22/09 1:10 pm - EURUSD: Short at 1.3018

Went short after all, since the last bounce on the hourlies had the characteristics of an exponential “going-nowhere” pattern, and it stalled at key resistance of 1.3023. Stop set at 1.3115, but will tighten to entry on a break below hourly TL and next support at 1.2940. If the pair bounces on this level, I will exit immediately at a small profit. In that case, the rounded bottom that is currently forming on the hourlies will likely be completed. Target of my short trade is 1.2755. It’s a good trade with relatively low risk entry, but requires close supervision over the next 3 hours.

01/22/09 11:43 am - EURUSD: Entry order changed as price action shifts to neutral

Playing it a bit safer by changing my entry sell order to 1.2890, instead of trying to catch a pullback which could easily turn into a run to the upper hourly channel line now at 1.3140.

01/22/09 9:48 am - EURUSD: Turning down again, short entry set at 1.3015

The pair has stalled ahead of the falling hourly TL, and 1.3083, the 50% Fibo, is now good resistance. The rising RSI TL has broken down, and I expect one more stab to the high side before a sharp downturn towards 1.2750, potentially 1.2670. The hourly and daily trends are down, so the short trade is with the flow. Set a short entry at 1.3015 (just below the 38% Fibo at 1.3024), stop 1.3115, target 1.2755 (conservative).

01/22/09 2:11 am - EURUSD: Took profit at 1.3055

Took a 67pt profit before calling it a day. TL Resistance at 1.3160 should limit the upside at least for the short term and I expect to see another long entry opportunity at the end of the European session.
