It looks like that you can trade in any pairs, steelhead. What an all round trader you are, I really admire it. But others say in order to succeed, you must focused and elaborated in one pair.

For beginner like me, after seven months in this "bad-time stories", I still can't figure what's really and actually going on behind all of the moving price.

I try indicators, but they just follow the price! They will say down when the price is already down and vice versa. Can't fully trust them...even fibos and waves are recommended...can't fully trust them either...

What do you think Mr. steelhead?
Don't worry for being critical to me because I like to be criticized

the principles are the same no matter what currency you are trading. Buy low sell high. That being said I trade whatever currency fits my system at the time

Bought euro/aussie at 1.8630 yesterday. Taking some profit at 1.8950 will let the rest run.

+300 pips not bad trade for holding less then 24 hours

I agree with the bounce off my 9244 support but I cannot see any of your trademark solid candles on my chart. Is this purely a s/r move hence the small buy?

(Bear in mind my UK timezone and broker.)

thanks a lot

what was the reason for short at 4500? Im short up here but dont understand shorts in that area.

what can you do? dont hedge whatever you do. I would think about closing the trade taking the hit and learning how the market really works.

That looks like a hit 'n run. I hope you held onto part of your position. It just hit 1.9450. I might consider looking for a sell setup.

Hi steelhead

I don't see any solid closes 4hr or 1hr. Are these long wicks indicative for you instead?

the four hour close a a bit ago was a decent one not the best but im taking it. With the knowledge I might have to add.

Im on yahoo im all day as well. Best way to get ahold of me is through that.
