{quote} yeh - kinda. Depends on ur broker....for me, 1 lot is the equivalent of 0.1 on forex Made that mistake once before - had a 100 pip winning trade.........only to realise i had done 0.5 lots, which is the equivalent of 0.05 in forex - i wasnt impressed!
Never traded it I’ve traded stocks and options but I like forex better than anything

1st eur shts of the day ,, finally a poke with no higher high sht 1310 looking to get to 1275 ish to start ,,
Great call man. I got my ass handed to me on FOMC day (bad Rrrracer!) so taking the next couple off to head to the lakes and hopefully enjoy some kayak/fishing time... in between all the rain LOL. Hope you're not too under water up there...

When I get back, I need to re-engineer some charts so that I have all the info I need up on the screens at one time instead of having to flip back and forth; need a quarterly chart, a monthly chart, a weekly chart and a daily chart with all their associated H/L/M, pivots, MAs and stochs, all viewable at the same time. I think it's the only way I'll be able to keep track of everything without getting confused. If ya can think of anything else, please let me know.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Truthfully ,, an hourly chart and what ever ya use below tht is the one tht matters R ,,the problem ,, you may not know it yet but 2 things ,,passage of time thing and a scaling thing ,, The eur hourly and then a couple of shots of tht m5 chart iv been posting ,,the eur has done nothing it hasent done before as their aint a damn pait you can pop up tht hasent ,, its went from level to the next then the next ,,, order is always the same ,, gets above or below something ,,
the eur started the week below pivot ,,so 1st area to watch is current weeks S1 area ,, yea ,, it didnt get there ,, what it did do is fuck around for 3 days waitng for the fuel ,, got below last weeks low ,, did it sty below ,, no, last weeks low did not hold to keeper going down

,, got above tht then above m15 200 kept picking levels off right back up ,,big fuel drop a fast move got W r1 and got held up ,, 1st whack to the ole m5 200 ,, the m15 slowly creeping into the picture on an m5 chart ,,tht will get a whack next ,,before a test of the last high again ,,maybe ,,will the last high be tested before or after tht trip to m15 200 ,, it will get a whack to it at some point in time ,,just like the m5 200 did today ,,may just dribble down somebody may whacker good ,,or it doesnt do shit till tht m15 ave gets caught up ,,could be plink and dink till tht happens ,, but thts the order tht is always followed ,,dont matter what ya look at ,, the 8 hour ya dont need up all the time ,, you know whats happening there by your hourly chart ,, yea ,, a look a few times a day but it dont need to be up ,,hourly is bout best of any for the one to be up all the time ,, helps with the passage of time thing all the important averages will be in the right spot on an hourly ,,its what you get to using below tht and then realizing its still the levels and how price works around them ,, the scaling is always gonna be fucked up tho ,, hopefully tht helps answer your question or gives ya some ideas

I hope it goes up since I’m underwater on EJ but looking at GU think there’s a good chance it will go down. GU near 200sma on H4 getting below 1.2660 may pull EU down too

Looks like USDCHF could turn and go up, but no confirmation yet.
