18.1b on usd/chf today also. Skipped yesterdays 18.1b because the breakout happened 3 hours after L opening, according to the template.

You can't be talking about the intra-day template ?

Sorry, i suppose over time i've adapted.

Mostly due to current market conditions. I'm happy to take trades early-mid euro if they have nice tight stops and have the characteristics of an 18.4. Today GBP made high then low then pretty quick back up to open.

It was against main move yesterday, but then a stop and reverse was in order if it broke the high

Nice-one. You're on of those few who've been along this thread for quite some time, how's your trading going, if it's not too personal to ask over a forum

Trading is almost enjoyable.

I say almost because i've spent a long time removing emotions, so i am unsure whether i want to let myself enjoy it!

I trade sparingly, and feel the most satisfied with the small stop/big move trades.

I'd also say, that now, after about 5 years of forex, I really feel sorry for those starting out. I've only really got my head around it in the last year, before then, it was painful.

Now to watch the markets, i don't feel a burning desire to trade, i'm not surprised at much. And to look at a chart and see patterns you've seen 100 times before and be able to formulate plans that you're confident in, is also very satisfying.

Thanks for asking

Good to hear, Blackinc ! Sounds like you've really gotten your head correctly adjusted for success

When you scan the charts on daily basis for intraday trading based on igroks templates, with which tf do you feel confortable with ?

Statistically, four times out of five, the USD makes it's extremes at the very beginning of each year in January. often on January, 1-st. It looks quite possible that in 2009 we might see the same picture and the USD will trade in one direction from the beginning of the year.

Good to see your alive and kicking, Igrok ! Thanks for sharing that statistic with us. I would assume we have an quite interesting year ahead of us! Most eager to see if the dollar have any chance to strengthen at all.

How's all your projects going, if you don't mind me asking ?

Hello Mr Igrok. Hope you doing good as always. Im observing a potential bullish divergence building on the USD/YEN dayly timeframe with a minimum must reach target of 100.545 once it gets confirmed. Do you see a similar view?

Spotted a diamond formation on the Momentum indicator on the GBP/YEN dayly.

Have you got a trade plan to go with that?

It does look like it wants to reverse, if only for a short time, maybe target the 140+ area before heading down again.

Looks like a good target, but where would you place stop?

Hi Blackinc,
taking a look at the diamond I would consider it as continuation pattern as the longer diagonal is from bottom to upper border.

Though... just my view... would be interested in Igroks view...
