From your profile, someone else will have to buy

Happy BDay tomorrow.
Thank you very much, and I think you're quite right about someone else buying

I use Oanda and former IBFX just to observe signals, but trade live. Sadly my broker includes weekend data, so I place my orders here and look at charts there in Oanda:] I'm OK with it.
I'll try FXDD now.
BTW at what time daily candle closes in Oanda? I'm in GMT+1 zone so probably the difference between us is 7 hours.

Oanda's candles close at 11PM CST; I don't know what that equates to in terms of GMT. And it would be nice if most brokers would add the option of excluding weekends if you want to... Maybe one day... +1 for Oanda




My trades are looking pretty good. I am facing a dilemma as price came within 5 pips of my T/P for GBP/JPY and has reversed back down a little bit on the 3 hour chart. I think I'm going to move my stop to 227.95 just to ensure I get something if this trade goes sour. This seems to be a critical area of resistance/support. Here's a pic of my current trades:

Best of luck,

Kevin

New Trade:

USD/CHF Long @ 1.2122 TP 1.2315

Short and sweet today . . . hopefully this trade is too.
I too am long on usdchf (@1.2125) though my TP is at 1.2202 (where my sma is at.)

Since its counter trend to the SMA, I'm just going for that. But I'll keep an eye on it, and if it seems to be pushing further I may up the TP to somewhere near yours.

Hi y'all!
Congrats to the nice trades Kevin!
My old USD/CHF trade stopped out at -86, and I closed my EUR/JPY at -6.

My new trade:

Long EUR/JPY @ 156.24
Currently: +57 pips
Comment: EUR/JPY has been trending nice between BB. If it goes through MA20, it often goes all the way to BB.

Have a nice day/night

rideblitz,

Good luck on your trade . . . 1.2202 seems like a realistic target. That's just above a 50% fib since the high of 3/9. I'm aiming for just below the 61% fib line. I'm hoping we both hit our targets.

Que sera, sera.

Thanks, you too

Just a question though.. Maybe I'm drawing my FibRet wrong, as I don't use them too often, but wouldn't slightly below the 61% be around .2215 and not .2315? Or was the .2315 a typo, or am i just a loser at drawing fibs? haha.

Fellow traders . . .

Kevin turns 21 one year from today. By then, he'll do doubt be filthy rich.

Kevin's already proven he's a charitable chap, so I'm sure he'll want to buy us all a case of our favorite suds to celebrate the occasion.

So mark your calendars and get your requests in early.

Make mine Pacifico, Kevin.

rideblitz,

You're absolutely right . . . that was a typo on my part.

My target is actually .2215.

I should spend more time checking my trade posts and less time thinking of ways to tease Kevin.

Hey, thanks guys for the birthday wishes; appreciate it, and I promise one year from now; party at my place! I'll buy the tickets Take off your wedding rings, there will be ladies !



So the forex gods wanted to give me a nice bday present, and I'm not complaining. USD/JPY is playing the turtle in the race against the hare so I have moved my stop to about 117.42.

Liquidate Long GBP/JPY @ 229.56 = 260.4 pips or 3.61%

Since 3/8/07:

Total Pip P/L: 146.6 pips
Total % P/L: 6.81%

Best of luck,

Kevin

When I looked at the charts yesterday, I saw a Long for USD/CHF and a Short for EUR/GBP. Since there are glaciers that move faster than EUR/GBP usually does, I took the USD/CHF trade.

So what happens? USD/CHF refused to budge all night and I'm currently at -4. EUR/GBP, on the other hand, dropped like a rock and would have closed by now at about a 50-pip profit, which at $1.96/pip ain't too shabby.

Today, a Short for AUD/CAD appears to be developing on my charts. I'm not taking it, but based on last night's developments, you may want to jump on board that trade immediately.

Oh well, it's a journey, not a race.

USD/CHF is in quite the long term downtrend, but I hope the signal works out for you. I especially like you saying "It's a journey, not a race". Soo true..


I have liquidated both my USD/JPY lots due to my moving of my stop(great idea if I say so myself because it went down today). Although it only resulted in a few pips, it's better than losing!

Liquidate 2 lots Long USD/JPY @ 117.41 = 23 pips or .65%

Since 3/8/07:

Total Pip P/L: 169.6 pips
Total % P/L: 7.5%


I have also entered Long GBP/USD tonight:

Long GBP/USD @ 1.96175
S/L = 1.94453
T/P = Infinity or reversal; whichever comes first


And if you lost track, this is my only open trade.

Why this trade looks delicious:

Well, see for yourself, but GBP/USD just majorly broke topmost speedline today. It may be facing resistance soon at around 9673, but we'll just see what happens.

Best of luck,

Kevin

GBP/USD trade turned out to be good; currently up 56 pips. I still envision this pair going up based upon the smaller time frame price action. Not only did it break 2/23/07 through 2/29/07 resistance, but it appears from my 3 hour charts and 1 hour charts that this area has now become support. This is a pretty good sign

Hope everyone else has had a good week so far!

Best of luck,

Kevin

Nice going Kev.

I'm currently down 124ish pips for the week. But it quite alright, comes with the territory right? All its basically done is drop my positive pip count from last week a bit, but I'm still well in the + for the month.

New Trade:

GBP/USD Short @ 1.9644
Target: 1/3 of lots @ 1.9464 and I'll let the rest run until the bills are paid (well, I can hope anyway).

I think there's a possibility this trade may go against me for a day or two, so I've got a larger stop loss than usual.

Other Short opportunities on my charts were:
EUR/CHF EUR/USD NZD/USD
These trades would all be counter-trend. The Short signals on EUR/USD and NZD/USD were a very close call, so it may change by the time others look at their charts.

Current Trades:

USD/CHF +24

This trade has been open since Monday, and I've adjusted the limit as the SMA moved down. I came within 4 pips of limiting out today before price retraced, so maybe tomorrow's finally the day.

Hello Yen,
are you sure that EUR/CHF sig is counter trend?
I don't think that our charts differ so much,as I know we have similar charts. Look below. And don't bother with the mess around the chart,just forgot to remove it :]

First of all I just want to say that I have REALLY enjoyed limiting myself to only 3 pairs to trade. With all the extra time that I used to browse through tons of pairs, I am getting a chance to actually look into the charts, and I feel that my decisions have more quality to them(confidence).

Secondly, I want to say that Speed Lines are quite amazing. If you do not know how to use them, let me know, because it's pretty sweet how accurate they are.

And Lastly,

A chart of GBP/USD on Daily is below. I have marked some things about speed lines. Basically, just drew a trendline from Oct Low to Jan High, and the other lines were drawn in for me. You can see that the lower band was tested twice after the Jan High, and crossed the second line 2 days ago. Yesterday, this line was tested and held true as support, and today looks to be along the same lines. I face the dilemma of following my system or trusting my intuition. I believe I will have to go with my intuition.

And EUR/CHF didn't quite form a signal for me, but if it did, it would not have been countertrend.

Good Luck,

Kevin
