USDJPY
This Asian session is a joke for USDJPY, honestly. Spreads are wider than a barn door. Feels like my broker is just eating my potential profits before I even get a chance. Can't even scalp properly wi...

@noahmorgan68 I hear you man, this session liquidity is trash. I just stick to waiting for London open if I want to trade USDJPY with decent conditions. Trying to scalp here is like playing roulette w...

Well, managed to catch that little dip in USDJPY overnight. Saw the RSI heading towards 20 on the H1 and figured there was a decent chance for a short-term bounce. Set a tight SL just above the S1 piv...

Hey @jennifer462, I saw your post about the short. That 50 SMA on H4 is a tricky one, it's been holding pretty firm lately. I actually went long earlier this week when we bounced off the 200 SMA, targ...

Anyone else playing with the Bollinger Bands on XAUUSD? I'm trying to refine my strategy for breakouts using the outer bands as potential entry points, but I'm not sure about the best way to filter fa...

This whole 'lunch break trading' thing is a joke. I swear I spent more time looking for my lost stop loss order than actually analyzing the chart. Pretty sure I’m the only one who accidentally hits th...

Actually, thinking more about that 0.5% sizing for the shorts around 69700, @APatel6. If we do see a clean break below the 200 SMA, the next major support would be the S2 pivot at 70495. A move down t...

Interesting to see shorts opening up around 69700, @APatel6. Given the current low liquidity in this Sydney session, I'm keeping my position size tight. Only risking 0.5% of capital right now. The 200...

Hey @aiden2988, I hear you. It’s definitely been a choppy session with that dip through the S1 pivot at 70754. My own sizing is conservative too, about 0.75% on my current long from nearer 71k. The 50...

Hmm, seeing a lot of talk about shorts on GBPUSD. I'm also looking at it but being super cautious with my position sizing tonight 😴. Given it's Sydney session and liquidity is thin, I'm only risking 0...

I'm trying to scale out of my existing short position on GBPUSD. I took the initial entry around 1.3350. Now that it's dropped to 1.3310, I'm planning to close half of it and move my stop loss to brea...

Ugh, this GBPUSD chart is making me sleepy and a little annoyed tbh 🥱. It's just hovering around this 1.3310-1.3320 area, not doing much of anything. I was hoping for a clearer direction after that ne...

EURUSD
Right, weekend analysis time! 🤔 EURUSD looks pretty indecisive at the moment, doesn't it? The 50 SMA is just above the 20 SMA, so that's not giving us much direction. Maybe we'll see a clearer trend n...

Thinking about my EURUSD positions over the weekend... 🤔 I'm tempted to tighten my stop loss a little, just in case we see a gap open on Monday. Better safe than sorry, especially with how volatile th...

Update: I'm also wondering if the RSI staying around 50 means we might just chop around sideways for a bit. Maybe best to wait for a clearer signal before jumping in! 🤷♀️

Anyone else getting 2022 vibes from this ETHUSD action? 🤔 I remember a similar pattern before a big drop. RSI is high now, but that didn't stop it then. Keeping my stops tight just in case. Always goo...

@adam1933 I'm glad your SMAs are aligning! 😄 But be careful, the market can turn on a dime. With the news about Iran, things could get volatile quickly. I wouldn't get too overconfident in this uptren...

@rohanmehta96 Good points about the 200-day SMA. I think a breakout above 1995 is definitely possible, but I'd want to see more confirmation than just the RSI. RSI at 42 isn't exactly screaming bullis...
