Keep an eye on this area...may not be enough juice to break it today.

It might just send us back north a little.

Gutsy move, bro. On my H4 that closed 15 minutes ago we had a large bearish engulfing candle.

I would like to see a little retracement up to the H1 10 so I could grab another short seat.

I like what Eo said....the only trends are east!

I still have a short running off 6430 but with this fifo thing it is hard for me to add to it in the same account. The only way to close my most recent short, if it goes against me, is to compleately close the oldest short first......and i didn't want to do that!

There are some brokers that will blend yur account like Ken said but i guess mine is not that talented.

My primary broker blends my prices. I'm with MB for my primary account. Some don't like the spread with a commission, but I've had ZERO issues with them.

My mate has an account with interbank FX and they have got around the fifo rules some how, not sure exactly blending of prices is one of the things they do
