Well if you're that serious about it, you might want this one too. I pulled a fib on Homers Simpsons brain once and got 40 pips plus swap...

You might want to think about not using limit orders until you have a better feel for things... those things can beat you up pretty good if you don't have a very good long term view of things. And I usually change my long term view several times during the day, as things change...

At the very least think about setting an expiration time and/or stop loss on them. They expire before a big announcement for instance, so they don't get triggered by a pip and then reverse for a week. I find myself rarely using them any more in this market.

PS except for slow ranging pivot entries
