Dudest: On the H4, seems we have had 2 pushes down and possibly a 3rd Push is coming. Did you take the retracement long trade on M15. I will wait for the M15 to form an M and then short.

M15: Going up, but forming an M inline with the 3 level down push on H4.

Thanks intcust!

@Charts: it's do-able

1. On Empty4: ALT + PRNT SCRN
2. On your favourite picture editor ( Paint, Paint.NET, Adobe <smthng>, GIMP,.. ) -> PASTE ( CTRL + V )
3. Add annotations
4. SHF: Upload attachment

OR

1. On Empty4: File >> Save As Picture >> Active chart (As Is) >> Save
2. After save, will automatically open in your default picture editor ( mine's Paint.NET )
3. Add annotations
4. SHF: Upload attachment

I prefer the latter procedure, takes me less than 5 mins ( from seeing setup to posting on SHF )

Cheers!

I prefer to add the annotations in Empty4 itself. I hide those annotations for higher TF as it can get crowded. But for lower TF I have them right there in the platform. Also save a pic in a Word document for Journal.

Hi Ash!

Yes on both counts, i.e,

a) knew another push downward was coming (didn't think it was coming this soon!)
b) took earlier posted M15 'M' + 'trickery' buys as retrace trades

Thought they would have gone higher to be honest. Luckily, since Asia session is my night and I wasn't going to be at the PC, I set stops,... for which I am VERY grateful, seeing how things turned out in the past 8 hours!!!

On the plus side, remember all the YEN long trades I posted earlier? ( EURJPY, CHFJPY, CADJPY )
Was still in all of them

(trailing stops have not been hit on EURJPY, CHFJPY all this time) and those have exploded in my direction

Any chance that EU will breech 1.2500 support ?

Cheers

Well looks like the question is answered:

EUR/USD drops below 1.2500 for first time in 2 years

Depends if you mean reach or breech

Reach is always likely, IMHO a breach is when support doesn't hold and we get a break and continuation.

There are no crystals balls it's just knowing what to look for and trading the setups as they happen.

Have a great weekend everyone
