I have that same trend line on top and was just looking at that, also looks like $ index wants to get stronger and oil is dropping at the moment so we may be headed back down a bit.

It worked but it was short lived, thats why we lock in profit early especially going against the trend!!

I have been trading forex for almost 5 years. This thread was started by Eohater who has not been able to be here much lately but I am sure he will return soon. I have learned more in this thread than all my other outside influence put together. There are lots of great traders in here who are very willing to share their experience with you. I stronly suggest you look, learn, listen, and participate in this thread and you will be successful trading forex. There is no robot, system, person, or thread that can teach you what you can learn here. I may sound a little over bearing but this is the most valuble FREE information (or purchased) you can find anywhere. Welcome to the thread!!

I am short off the last 15 min close t/p set at 1.6365 and will watch trade as far as s/l is concerned

set s/l way to soon but I have had a good day and did not want to give it back, out +1. Looks like my s/l was not so bad after all

If it does get back to 1.6365 I will be looking to go long again

I hope you held on to your long position and did not get stopped out, if so it should have worked out ok for you.I had mentioned that 1.6365 area and I went long there and picked up 25 more.I left alot on the table but was happy with those.
