Going into the London session...

...I'm really not seeing any defined levels to short the EUR or GBP from. There are small pockets of resistance around 1.394-5 and G/Y 1.614-5 but nothing that stands out as a reliable trade.

Looking further ahead, I will short the EUR/USD at 1.40. 50% fib of the recent decline is at 1.4014 and I would expect a respectable kickback around that level, especially with 1.4 being such a strong support level before.

"Depending on price action"

Regardless of it's validity, I'm sick of hearing this.

Some thought into keeping my weekly trade plans/setups...

...specific, controlled and tracked.

For example:

Setup 1 for this week is long E/U @ x

Setup 2 for this week is short G/U @ x

Setup 3 for this week is...

from there, I will track each trade...if I took it, the gain and loss, if I didn't take it, what would have been the gain/loss based on the proposed sl & tp.

out for coffee, more later...uk opens in two hours.

Call alert set for EUR/USD 1.3930 for short in 1.394-5 range

EUR/USD, watching 1.3785 - 38% fib agreement

Watching 1.38...just below it looks like a nice entry and we have the 38% fib level coming into play from april lows to june highs. I don't like how we just saw a nice 40 pont bounce off 1.383...but if I can score a lower 1.37 entry (1.379 or 85), it looks like it would be worth the trade.

Three weeks ago, I would take it with a half or full size trade and scale into the heavy support that we have just a little lower around 1.375...but here, I think I'll keep my stops tight and look to re-enter immediately if we blow 1.3785.

See chart below as to what I'm looking at on the daily...
