Right, I think we are still bullish, that's one of the time I should have stood aside.
This week I am neutral on the aud, but I am very bearish on the euro and somewhat bullish on the usd. This makes it hard for me to forsee new highs on the aud.

It is defintely kind of close to my out rule, but not quite yet. Now if I had bought anywhere from .9265 to .9270, I might take some profit at .9240(this is why I make a terrible swing trader), but I would set a trailing stop and see how far it goes. If the CBOE Gold Index did move around 4 points up from 204 to 208ish, AUD/USD could possibly retrace up at least 100 PIP's from where ever it lands prior to the US Market open before the end of tomorrow. Do we have any charters of that index? To me it channeled in the buy zone for a long most of the...

That is pretty cool. I use Tradstation which is Easy Language and kind of clunky. If I had 100k, I would access Gain Capital Direct, but Tradestation gives me access to Gain at a comparable cost. I pay about $7.00 for a round trip on two lots which works great for me. I might be changing brokers soon if this 10:1 rule comes into play so maybe I will look for a MT platform. I do kind of like my EMA lines on the chart though because many times one of them acts as support or resistance on smaller trades if that makes sense. Can any of you guys recommend a good overseas (non-American broker)?

actually I was joking with showing that ipanel indicator , I dont think it would be useful at all, but MT4 is very good platform, I think you can use fxpro or alpari-uk, but if you wanna do a research on brokers check this out

I appreciate the info. I tried FXPro, but not taking US residents right now. I think that they are a little irritated with our trading environment as well. They seemed really good too, and with a .5 to 1 pt spread, I could easily be converted to paying the spread rather then commission. Of course to a certain degree if we don't always use limit orders, we pay some level of spread or slippage anyway. Tradestation is not a good system for Market Orders. Anyway, I will look at Alpari and this site-thanks you......I need to install a PDF printer for this computer so I can post charts. It is just that my charts are not near as pretty as someone like amyc, but I am not looking to stay in quite as long, or predict high and lows even though that is a lot of fun. If this trend passes below .9215, it will play out pretty close to my chart. What a great short I just promised myself to only trade when there is US Market overlap because I got stuck on the worng side a couple of times without my good US indicators helping me. It seems to being going down in a nice ABC Pattern right now. It has not come close to testing my 34 EMA on close for the 60 minute chart and the CCI is at -43 so we should still have some steam on this when until it at least goes under -100 on the CCI? In a perfect world at least .

I am not completely convinced that it is over yet, but this line can become support quickly. This next hour it will either bounce back down off of this line and reestablish this trend or go north, and the 34 EMA based on the high on the 60 minute chart will end up becoming support for a good 30 plus PIP move up.

I am seeing some serious divergence on my 15 minute chart for CCI, which could just be a retracement move coming, but it sure looks pretty mean.

I was thinking more along the lines of the same ride back down that we just had. I had a higher high on my 15 minute CCI chart and a lower high on the price. It was sitting at over 200 so seriously oversold, and it is over 100 on the 60 minute also?

I'm not really one to ask on that. I don't look at short-term indicators very often. Maybe someone else can agree or disagree.

Top of the morning.
Shahab, nice clean charts. I prefer the same, just different colors. I find a darker background to be more gentle to my eyes. Um, I might seem a bit stupid but who's that gentleman in your profile picture?

I got a terrible headache today, I just don't see anything on those charts. Maybe I should ask some of those real traders. Oh, just careful, I remember what happens when I follow someone's call... Speaking of calls, where are you Jesus4748? Ah, he probably put me on his ignore list so he doesn't see my question. Nevermind.

Big election this evening for the Mass. senate seat. Dems have said if elected they will give the health care reform thumbs up. And if Rep. wins they have said thumbs down on health care reform. Could see a rally in U.S. markets if rep. win. Not too sure where this would leave the dollar though. Not sure if the risk trade is in or out at the moment.

Invest in some health insurance companies, that are lobbying for mandatory insurance. I don't know if that will make much a difference in forex, but maybe!

Well it looks like that divergence was right on, and we reapted and then some. I didn't sit out of this one. I have one more lot that I carried past my target to cash out at .92316. We approaching some preliminary Bull indicators on 20 period CCI, but a shorter term look says that we might be going further. As we speak, just filled that last lot should have set it a little lower or with a trailing stop. Now I could be way off, but I think Gold might go up tomorrow so I had planned a buy target around .9140 to .9150? Now if the CBOE GOXX chart that I prepared goes the other direction then I will adjust. I read Top Blokes suggestion, and the sad thing is I remeber that routine from when he did it on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

I live in Massachusetts. Maybe you guys could scrape up a little $ and "suggest" which way I should vote?
