Who was it that said every trade starts as a
scalp ?
Mike
Not me....that's not at all how it works..that's from someone that is always wrong...not that I'm not wrong myself occasionally
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

Ok I'll post a couple...let me get some things together so I can explain what I look at and so forth. it's pretty simple stuff really. Most people make more of it than it is as I'm sure you know. I'll try to spell it out so it's easy to understand.

Eur doesnŽt want to break yesterdays high. Possibly going down again. IŽll wait what happens after the news.

PH taken out there . 3600 was support and 3700 looks like its supporting a fill of the gap . With gentle ben sinking us further into the abyss tomorrow and a generally gloomy US my bet would be bullish for EURUSD but thats a guess , Ill stick to following the strength .
The indexes are a mess and at 1st glance thats a big bear flag on dow and S&P so the index selloff should continue if you subscribe to the general flag rules of thumb .
