Hey Infinity! Thanks for all the great charts, I read almost every one you post. Question: When you say "gets below the 4hr 5sma" do you mean that the candle has to close below or just move below. Thanks again for your interpretation.
A close below.... My 4h closes in about an hour.
Patience + Discipline - Greed = Success

now that i see how this has panned out im so glad i traded the way i did...imagine buying at 1.9840 seeing it go close to 2 and come back down...this is a hectic week
I made 40 pips on long today, which i closed out too soon at 1.9945, due to being far too eager to lock-in profits. I am not too unhappy about that, as it leaves me with small profit for the week.

I tend to operate all my trades with trailing stops, and keep moving by stop by 15 pips in tandem if/when spot moves in my favour.

You make a lot of very decent calls Navin2007, with some incisive analysis, and have bagged some good pips this month (certainly more than my running monthly total of 161 pips). However, I think you could make a whole lot more through using trailing stops and letting your winning trades run their course.

Trouble with trailing stops is that the market keeps changing the game ! It works beautifully with strong even surges, but in a ripply choppy market it just chops your profit.

That's the trouble with forex, the rules change every few minutes depending on the characteristics of the movements. Then the effect of the news changes depending on just HOW bad or good it is and it can have a 180 degree difference to the same direction of news last month !

If this rabbit would run straight I could shoot it

I tend to fly by the seat of my pants as I can't invent a system which changes every nanosecond

Haha couldnt quite close things up eh bro? ... I had a feeling even though you said have a good weekend u would still be glued to the screen.

I think this is another opportunity to short at 9930 although DJI is comin down so it may be risky.

i placed a sell order at 1.9984 area....but definately not looking to enter any trades..it might just be going up because of profit taking. we didnt break the high of yesterday so now bias is short depending on the close

planing for next week already.....lol

yes made good dosh on the long and then a bit on the short

this range trading seems to suit me

Its not hard is it ? when it goes up you short, and when it goes down you long

My cat could master this weeks market and he wouldn't know a doji if he found one in his litter basket


So instead of waiting for big moves I should be satisfied with this see saw stuff

let's see what next week brings but I reckon more pendulum action and i think i will start to scale up
