There is a Data Window, Click on View, Data Window or Ctrl + D. If you put your mouse over a candel, it tells you value at that position in details, including MA values. Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

I did too but out already .. I am a But have green Eggs..
Closed mine also Ken, with a few.

Dollar index lowest since December so we should be due for a retrace.

She was good to us today....I got in a little late but made some pips on the run up. Had high hopes for that short at 5690.

Still having issues with buying when it has been up this long, like earlier today, but sometimes u just have to accept that the trend is your friend.

Be very carefull on short, I think the uptrend still very long way to go UP, since the USDX is going downward and passing SHORT line 38.2%. USD way to go DOWN, other currencies way to go UP. I am looking for a setup to go LONG now.
Many happy pips returned ...

Its easy to feel your missing a good short opertunity here, but i think im with you the way the usdx is looking.

Those ma's are still lined up pointing up similar to yesterday, consolidation before moving again.

The last consolidation took more than 30 hours but this time I don't think it would take that long

Exactly! I am kicking myself now when I look at the charts with the price that I had.. I closed out most of my longs at 559x and just had a small amount running which closed out at 5700.. I wish I had left a bigger portion of the trade on..... oh well... still got good pippage can't complain.. I was only looking to buy dips today..

Exactly!

I keep forgetting that when u get what seems to be a great entry after a rally and are expecting at least a 50% give back....and it doesn't play out!

That may be a signal that u should be reversing quickly!

5722 being taken out is very significant.... We should see 1.60xx

I think I read where Eo posted that he would be on vacation this week.

Perhaps he met his twin in St. Martin!

Who's still holding their longs off the 5500 level from the NY open?

How about a shout-out!
