Fine End to the Week...

After a tough week of missing several excellent entries, I finally caught a couple of good ones in a row. The first was a break of the 1.4500 round number. Unfortunately, I was not able to grab the optimal entry at the bounce off the 4-hr 50% fib retracement. Still it was a good profitable trade.

The second trade was the one I'm really proud of. I recognized price was making a play for the previous day's high(and weekly high) at 1.4597. In particular it made it's push in the last 15-mins before the London open and failed not only to reach the 1.4600 round number, but also failed to reach 1.4597 previous day's high. I took a short entry off an inverted hammer on the 5-min chart and the rest is history. Nice bit of profits added to the account.

It might do me well to head back over to the geppy camp. It's been running pretty nice the last few sessions. I'll be keeping a closer eye on it this week. It's looking like the GM news of the Obama Administration rejecting their latest plan, yet offering more cash for restructuring(though not through bankruptcy) will take it's toll on the U.S. market Monday morning. Futures are already in substantial negative territory. There is a long shot outlook that the market could view it as a positive in that possibly more of the deadwood that's

Best Entries for Today

I thought I should post couple of potential entries I spotted but did not enter . Both charts show the potential of price action trading even in tight markets. I generally keep a pretty simple chart with no indicators except a 50sma or 60sma, just horizontal support and resistance levels, previous day's high/low, previous week's high/low, previous month's high/low, and maybe some fibs or trendlines.
