if it holds its a hell of a short or long. *flipping coin* cotinuing to hear long trend is my friend .. i could be a hero or zero.. hmmm another option is cash is a position..
In these cases I usually make the best decision I can and then place just a small position.

We may stay in the 1.28's until towards the end of the NY equities session, at which time it could quickly go either way.

To drag an indicator inside another indicator's separate window, you have to open the Navigator view. Then, with the first indicator window already in place, select the other one from the list, click on it's name with the mouse without droppping the button pressure, and drag it into the perimeter of the separate indicator window. It will then show inside the first one.
Thanks Doblece. That did it.

You can trade options so that you have a fixed amount of risk with unlimited profit potential and avoid getting whipped out of your position, or sell options and get paid the expensive premiums of front caused by all this volatility in the market.
Thanks 4 that but money management wise & r:r I'm actually doing ok. Don't mind me, I was just bitchin' earlier.

I'm short from 2866 with a target of 2750 to 2715. draw a fib from 2898 to 2423 and you'll see what i mean. We had a nice run, now its only fair for us shorts to get our retracement .

Cautiously adding shorts on my 3 usual pairs... basis is an aggressive interpretation of my 6m entry and 1hr trend charts. now the waiting game...

I posted some target levels and times today, it got to within 11 pips of my target and at my forecast time, so I shorted at 1.2880 I forecast this market to retrace some of todays gains and a target time for it to bottom is 5am tommorrow morning, don't worry it will retrace up before it goesdown again and you can look to short it on the .786 retrace with your stop on the last high, this wave should bottom at about 2:20 pm then retrace up. Then start to go down around 5 pm

Still sitting on the fence as far as where things are going from here.. grabbing pips scalping though.. +40 10 pips at a time so far..

Looking at cumulative tick and the big boys/banks are still net long by far.. but seeing no strength on dollar or eur at the moment.. watching the DOW for leads but its in a tight range as well. last 30 mins or so of NY should shine some light on things i am thinking.. if nothing happens before that.

I would not recommend going long its been going up all day your buying at the top, sell high buy low its the hardest thing to do but its the way you have to trade to make money, wait for the herd to stall as its doing at the moment and short, stop on the last high or play safer wait for it to fall and sell on the retrace up we should see at least three to 5 waves down.

Easier said than done. I'm stuck with a couple of big shorts that I'm hedging against with half a position. Thanks though, I understand.

I'm trying hard to catch the turning point just right, so I can regain equity on the way back down. Hence my decision to take the -32 loss, which now would be b/e (was 2990).

First clear stall (green arrow) on 6m chart after Failure to bust the upper bb... similar picture on other pairs, but more pronounced becuz of the pip yield.

Sitting here in my furry winter coat the direction is clear, the timing of the entry less so... these stops are pretty wide as it's a bit earlier in the NY session than I'd care for... oh well. Trade what I find or go home...

I figger I'll know soon.

ADD: Below yellow line or by how much is still a little early to say but my inclination is that it will. I'll scale out some in any event at that point. That said, I do expect to see it fail significantly if the yen pairs collapse.
