Not so fast on the GU TC.... I decided to set the first TP at 25 pips, went to 20, when I moved the stop to -5 pips on both halves.... Then headed north and I let a 20 pip (well would have been 10 on average) profit turn to a -5 pip loss.... Damn those tails.......

Watching a possible TC on the Eur/Chf if you like the cross pairs....

Palmer, I still get a little uneasy but it is getting easier to pull the trigger. It also helps a lot to have some good posters on this site like Phillip, yourself, Ryan, and a few others. It really seams like this month I can really start to see the rhythm. Many miles to go though.

Got stopped on the GU @ cost, made a few on the EUR up for the day. Also that look good for a long 30min until close.

Hi I entered this trade at the close of the 0:00 candle. Based on price honering the 8 and 21 moving averages, and a TC pattern on the macd. I do have some fear about the 200 ma. I think it will move away some before coming back to test.
entry 1.6142
stop1.5998

1st target will take off half of pos at 1.6162 then
move 2nd half to stop at 1.6122 with 20 pip trail for over night.
any comments would be welcome.

I'm with you on that one... Could come down to the 200, but your stop is well below that (and mine). Coming down there (which is also the 8ema), could be a good launching pad.... Also noticed the E/U found support and formed what looks like a bottoming candle on it's 8ema. This will help our cause... Set an alarm for 1.6165, off to sleep....

I have taken a short on the USD/CHF. entry 10949 SL 10974.

Trend is still down made a lower high plus making a second now. found resistance on the 89 21 and 8 ma's made a spinner on last candle. some good evidence on the pa the macd giving a light TC. what made me pull the trigger was the cluttered rally that finished as a lower high with the resistance on the ma's.

good piping

I know that not a lot of people don't trade Silver or even trade daily charts, but I decided to post this for those of us that follow commodities like Silver,but it might have something for a fellow trader to take out of it.
Anyway,I noticed that Silver Daily was giving a MACD Trend Continuation signal last night, but I stayed out of it because of the rising bearish wedge and the bearish MACD divergence that was also forming.Just to latch onto what Phillip always says about not chasing every MACD signal.Look at the bigger picture.This is a lesson I'm still working on myself. It might still have room to go up further, but I'll rather err on the side of caution.

I'm only a newbie, so what do I know!. But too risky for me; also price made a higher low and (as per Phillip's comment) with the MA's bunched- a large move is possible - hope it works out for you.

Did you guys get stopped out? I missed this trade, but if I was in front of a computer I would probably have taken it. Was there anything wrong with the setup? The 1 hour doesnt look too good between the hours of 00:00 and 04:00

I thought we were going to see a TC by 8:00 closed candle on EURO/USD and AUD/USD.
We'll see the fact after 30minutes.

Hi Everyone, good morning / afternoon / evening (whatever is appropriate!),

I'm waiting for TC on the E/U. There is bearish divergence on the MACD, but this may have been resolved by the re-test of the 200sma. On the other hand it might not. I have no expectation of where price is going next, but I'll be here if it decides to carry on up!

Anyway, just been across to the 'is the 4hr strategy (MACD) the best system here at FF?' thread. Phillip has posted an audio file on page 2 (post 16). I think it is ESSENTIAL listening for all of us. Phillip isn't necessarily saying anything new, but it reminds us all of how we should be working and how we should be feeling in our hearts. At the risk of stepping on the toes of the translators, I shall transcribe it and post it here for those who have difficulty in understanding spoken English.

Cheery bye fur noo (goodbye for now in Scottish!)
Rebecca,x.
