My M15 chart. Just lost my chart feed so I'm flying naked at the edge of my seat right now! On A/U, I typically go for anything between 5-10 and 10-20 pips at a time.

I had an 76 pip run with CHF and just got out. I think I am pushing my luck. But I also can't hold my positions for a long time anyway.

I am going to go long CAD off previous bounce on 99774. I wish I would have gotten in on 1.000 (obvious bounce). So I am hoping it goes to my entry. But I do hope you get a nice swing up before that.

AUD is out of my cards. I didn't prepare for a break of 93 so I can't make any solid decisions above that. Oh well, I'm watching GU fighting S/R and JPY looking or 94 (probably a swing and test first)? EU is on "00" almost, should have some nice PA there too.

I'm not pitching any FCM here but you should move to FXCM where I am at. Anytime I have an issue that is computer related and messes with any $, they fix it, basically no questions asked.

** Disclaimer - I am in no way affiliated with FXCM I just use their MT4 and it has been good to me.

I'm playing around with the MT5 beta but I can't seem to get the same technical indicator settings that I use in my current charts. Kinda frustrating but I'm tied to the wonderful chart pictures I get now (not so much to the hic-ups).

First of all great thread Saxon! It's only 4 h old and already my favourite here at FF. No rambling, no off-topic, just pure trading and questions connected with the topic. I hope it stays that way.
To be able to watch you guys trading, is for me an enormously effective way of learning. Pls keep up the good work and pls don't let this thread be cluttered!

Place sell orders at 9310 and 9320 for au. Euro moving stops up to 13365 oco 13430 and 13470.
Interesting. Here's my question:

What's that oco stop technique you're applying? Does every consecutive sell order take out the earlier in that case? Is this a kind of a "custom" moving S/L ?

Best regards

I'm iffy on MT5. It's like when microsoft came out with the new Excel 2007, I hated life. I was an Excel wizard, but not anymore It's like if you grew up with ATARI or like PONG, and now there is XBOX, you're in update dissonance (I think that's the word)

I get the point! I hated updates when they came out, while working as an IT Director.

AUD looks to be heading to 93. I might have to pop back into the old AUD thread and see if they can shed some light on it for us. I am still looking for the next setup. We had a good run right at the beginning of London, now it is dying down and I am picking my brain for the next one. CAD is getting there. It might be there when I hit the sack so I am placed my pending on price 99779 with a 10 pip stop. (CAD trade brought to our attention care-of Geppyg - Thanks again) I will try to stay up for it since I hate having a computer place orders for me. JPY lost allit's steam breaking through S/R 93.622 so it might just settle there for a bit. GBP and EUR are overextended in my view and look to be making a drop. I feel it might be too late in the game to get enough pips on that fall unless it picks up for a GU "00" bounce on 1.53 or lower box 1.52807. But who knows, it might swing half and test current S/R 1.53635. EU is following similar suit. I am done with CHF for a little as I feel like it, and I guess all the Europe pairs need to cool down. Any ideas? Anyone see any setups not posted yet?
