I'm not really one to divulge my edges too much. I'll discuss bits and pieces and things I use but I don't look to discuss what I use. I hope you understand.

I will say that it's very simple and not complicated. I am not one for too much screen real estate. I also like to use TLs with my charts.

I can understand not wanting to talk about your system... but may I ask if you have any thoughts on USD/CAD ??? You have gone long again... Price now is around the highs of Jan 2006 and April of 2006 where price came came back down again... is there any thoughts you can give to that, or is your sytem simply mechanical and you only enter and exit by signals given by the system ??

THX again just asking cause I want to get on this trend, but right now seems not quite the time...

eewww that might be sore spot... You cant win em all when your swinging. With larger stops you haver larger limits.. I think that why it so hard for noobs.. they can't scalp cause the spread is to wide and they don't stay for the 50 to 100+pips on swings.. but if your swinging you need those to survive other wise the 40 to 80 pips stop will eat you alive.

Just can't look at one trade... cause that might be working as a hedge for the over all system

Get 'em MrTrend

No matter the system, whether it's discretionary or mechanical, I have rules. The only difference (to me) between discretionary and mechanical trading is that mechanical is automated, and discretionary isn't. But that doesn't mean there is no rules when taking discretionary trades.

Regarding USDCAD, all I know at this time is that the market gave me an exit signal. However, my system stil maintains a bullish viewpoint on USDCAD, so when I get a long signal, I'll go long again. Otherwise, I stay out until my system tells me that I'm in a bear trend.

Ah... and now we come to my principle problem... I still don't have a plan !!! Have a couple of rules and tricks in my tool box... but nothing even close to a plan.

I am just telling the truth here... but believe me, I am searching for a plan !! Plans are hard to come by... at least I think so

THX Mr Trend !!

If you calculate the whole move for CHF, we're looking at right around 285 pips. This is right where I like to see most of my pip counts on swing moves. CHF is actually a rather slow currency. It only moved roughly 300 pips in two weeks...

Anyway... a nice start for the week.
