-20. The range has broken so I will be looking for longs but for now a short seems like a good idea since it may take awhile to break the April's high.

One detail you must think of. When you will start, what will be your broker and what amount of money will you put in ?

Because here, you are using probably a 10k demo account...

If you dont start with a 10k real account or a 1000$ trading with 0.1 lot, what you are doing now is useless

I don't follow. I'm posting pips, not money. Anyway, it will probably be an 10K account if I decide to go live with this.

I got in and out of a long today for 7 pips. I want to be flat ahead of NFP.

267. Lets make it round 270

NFP didn't change much. E/U still looks bullish so I took a long 10 mins ago at 3600. Stop at 3565 bellow recent low, limit 3620
