Agree but its a good idea to always minimise the risk where possible and that means going with the trend.

You got to this first...LOL I added to my post, enough days of running flat and no TL will hold...LOL
Yes it is high risk. But you know my situation.
This is why side to side S/R is far stronger to me than TL's.
I prefer S/R to TLs myself..........

Gu strong resistance at 1.6559..... if break.. possibility make new high...

Chris,
I know your situation and I understand your point but If I was in your position I would be taking the lower risk option and staying with the major trend.
Another chart - sorry I know this is HS but interesting anyway.
Nice bull flag last night which gave 100 pips off a PPZ and its with the trend LOL.

The eur itself is flat ATM the $ is the driver
Tony, zoom out daily cad/lfx and draw trendline.
We see yesterday rising volume at this trendline, this is indication for breaking this trendline, because there is interest to move higher.
cad/lfx up = usd/lfx down. I mean much more down
The problem is the weak gbp/lfx, which is at support these days. If it turns bullish, we see gbp/usd jump
Until now gbp/usd has only one driver, but imagine it has two 
sorry no chart, IŽam at work.

If I could, don't you think I would? Don't you think that less risk would be far better to me? I may not be the sharpest tool in the box but "I" KNOW what I have to do.
Anyway, no more posting for me. I have to focus on what "I" have to do now...
Green pips everyone...
