I have to use various sizes in all my trades..... I start to get used to now....I actually prefer the new way now... I used to trade the same size...now using various size....so my initial trades always small....I build up the positions later...that is really the big profits coming from the later positions with less risks.........

Sorry i have been super busy with work. I will not be trading intraday for the foreseeable future because of work but an update so far:

I still expect EURUSD to hit 1.0850 .. after i will look for reversal signals to go long - longer term. There is the chance this wave falls below 1.0460 to make new multi year lows but i will analyse one step at a time.

AUDJPY finally dropped but i was stopped out. I will look for longs around the 71.66 region and 72.44 area

GBPUSD should eventually reach back to sub 1.20 but its a crazy pair and i will stay out.

Speak soon all
