hey whats going on everyone? i see yall are still tearing it up which is good to see, ive mostly been reading a lot and working on my trading...i have been trading a lot recently on a 30min time frame with the MA's and its been giving some good trades with EU and EY. for some reason im less jjumpy when i trade that time frame, i found for me i was closing trades to early when i used the 15, but then again i am still working on my patience

good trading to all as always
I use the 15 to enter and then switch to the 1h if the market is trending otherwise I stay on the 15. Never traded the 30 might give it try

Maybe worthy, I share my latest strategy to trade GU. Everyday I plot the DP level, used to plan the S/R. And is working well.

See the chart below. Look how well it works to forecast the trend in a significant amount ! Today I wait for it moves up to 1.6176 ( DP day 2) - 1.6209 ( DP day 6) to short, but I may reconsider depend on what PA I'll see ! Let see !

i havent traded GU with 30 time frame so using a practice account to see how it works with this pair, might be the way to go...i know you know what your doing, but i didnt want you to be under the impression that ive used it to trade GU with success

0658 GMT [Dow Jones] The USD had a mixed overnight session while the pound took another hammering after UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown lost his fifth cabinet minister in as many days. UK Works and Pensions Secretary James Purnell quit late Thursday and called for the PM to do likewise. Europe finds GBP/USD just above 1.60 which means it's lost 6 cents in just 3 sessions. Elsewhere, the ECB decision to keep interest rates at 1% has lent the single currency yield support and it seems to be finding a base around 1.4150 against the greenback, while USD/JPY is firmly stuck in a 96.00-97.00 corridor. Friday's highlight will be US non-farm payrolls, seen -525K. (GST)

BBC News have just said Alistair Darling is keeping his job as chancellor - very much a case of keep your friends close, and your (potential) enemies closer.
