Well I would think many of the regulars will be back and given the volatility of the last few months in conjuction with the holidays that they deemed it a no brainer to take themselves out of the equation. I might add though that even if they were to leave we are ultimately interested in being able to do what they do and so in that event I woud say we need to step up and make it happen in time, I think that is what BRV has been after all this time, to see that we could perform at a high level with our own knowledge.

Cheers,
Kyle

Lets keep this wonderful thread rolling. Hopefully BRV makes a return soon. This thread has been so valuable to me.

Don't have much time right now, but will post one chart now and hopefully more later on.

Aussie is picking up strength as there seems to be some risk appetite coming back to the markets. The daily chart appears ready to break out to the upside and if that happens, I will be very happy to buy dips along the way. Going back to September's drop, we can see that the area from 7800/7900 down to our current resistance was a very quick and sharp low liquidity free fall. A lot of times this kind of action can refill quite quickly on the return trip so hopefully I can get a good safe entry before it strays too far. I am a little cautious about the moves from 12/31 and 1/2 as they seemed a bit artificial...as did most of the price action across the board.

Back in the trading seat from tomorrow.
Has anybody heard anything of BRV over the last month? Hope he's ok. This thread, and his blog, are full of A1+ material.
I spoke to BRV via email on Christmas Eve - he is fine and said that he had been extremely busy with some other business... I am sure he'll be back on here in the near future

Yep, good to hear BRV will be back soon.

I just had my first trade of 2009, short EURUSD at 1.3925, closed it at 1.3865 for 60 pips, although as of right now it's still moving. Feels like so long ago since I had a profitable trade, I had to lock it up.

Anyways, a new year, fresh start, and new opportunities. I can't wait, if only for the psychological relief of starting anew after some bad trades in December.

Good luck to all in 2009, I wish you all good trading, health, and prosperity My New Year's trading resolution is to keep up the discipline and trading plan. I fell off the wagon a bit in December and had a streak of about 4 days in a row of bad trades from poor planning and overtrading.

Here's what I got for the euro, right now. I am biased on the downside, but I would like to see a small bounce off 1.3855/40 level again before potentially breaking down towards 1.3738 (support, and fib). If it breaks down now I won't take it, if we get a bounce, I'll definitely be looking at it.

Happy New Year to all,

Looking at 3820 to go short on the Euro. If this breaks 3624 is the next level down to contend with.

Got the bounce and took the break, closed trade at 150 pips. Good start to the year.

Sure was quick, Siam. Almost 200 pips in a few minutes, always will have you feeling good.

He has been creating a new project that he will unveil soon. It has been very time consuming since, as we know, BRV likes to be very meticulous.
He will be back with us soon.

I think you may have a different strategy there, I can't see any s/r lines on your chart.

But anyway I'm not planning to go long on this pair at the moment.

Morning.

USD/CAD is nearing 1.1800 and I'll look at entering @ 1.1790 with the next level of support being at 1.1450

Gbp/jpy has been heading north and i'm keeping my eye for a strong break of the 1.3920 level for a possible long.
