Its finding some support at the monthly s2.

I'd prefer buying lower like you suggest though.

G'day Turner,
I took profit after 50 and 70 pips on 3,on U/Cad still have 2 open SL>B/E

the same for long A/U and short U/Chf, I like the U/Chf trade, as i told you that one needed to be hold for a while (now 85 pips* 4 position from 1.0640), I'll close 2 before the news SL>B/E

everything according to the plan
Congrats on your profits!
Still got my U/C running. But as mentioned I might close it soon.
With only that one trade I should take those nice green pips.
On my U/CHF i did something really stupid. set my SL to BE too early (when beein at +20) and got stopped by 1 pip out last night on that last spike up before it turned south...
(stupid!!!) but I keep on learning ... especially from such mistakes.

thanx mate,
you stopped out of U/Chf short? why? I told you that's a very good setting,
but dont worry , you can take a nice long at 1.0510 on U/chf if it gets there,
as you said I'm thinking of reducing my exposure before the news,

As I said... just beein stupuid in that trade. but never mind learned something without having to take a loss
Lookin forrward to the Long entry now.
Always unsure of how to setup those pending orders properly. (For the U/CHF I would place the stop around 1.0472 --> Jan. 28th low ?!)
You always set it fixed on 40 pips.. or looking for other important levels around the entry area?
For the CAD around 1.0090?!

Regards. Tuner

I try to keep it simple, for A/U ,U/Cad , U/Chf 40-50 is more than enough , if it hits you are probably took a bad trade, for E/U I would say 50-60 for U/J 30 for G/U (that's a nightmare) 60-70

Thank you.... Keep it simple sounds always good to me
btw...
I really like your clean setups and charts.. without the whole bunch of those "super-mega-indicators"
(While changing from one indicator in the beginning I know prefer to have my charts almost "naked" and keep to the basics. some MA, fibs and the S/R levels.)
Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge..charts and analysis here with us!

Shahab8b, on the AUD/USD we are reaching the 919x area again... are you not considering this to be a triple top pattern (trend reversal)?

here is a good short place, I'm scalping short in .9190 area- while holding my longs , as my account allows me hedging
for calling it a reversal you need to wait and see PA around R at .9190 first,then wait for a break of S at .9100 area
then it would be a trip top, but to me
for now it's a rectangle continuation pattern

I understand. I'm also taking into account the open orders with Oanda for shorts at 920x. Scares me a little to go up against so many open orders.

dont think about others too much, just put orders at right S/R you will be fine 75% of the time
weekly R1 is .9211 , that's good place to put a sell limit order

  • Mar 16, 2010 3:25pm Mar 16, 2010 3:25pm
there is a short opportunity for N/U around 50% fib level at .71300
I put a sell limit order there
look at S/R levels that I'm looking at

plan your trades in advance dont make random calls

you are welcome ,
you mentioned a good thing, I notice some traders are running multiple computers and charts and indicators and complex systems to make a trade,I think if you trade with pending orders at S/R and fib levels and from time to time look at few indicators you can get the better result.

anyways,what did you do with the short U/Cad? any open position on A/U?

well. many different styles of trading. if someone likes all the indicators and found a consistent working system for him/her....fine.
still considering myself a newbie... the first time..going through the net..you find a new system/indicator every day.. got really confused with that.
So back to the "basics".

Got out of my U/Cad a bit before the news.. for 75 pips.
No position at A/U at the moment. (no good entry point today (during the time I am able to trade)
so.. not in any trade at the moment but got my pending orders set
U/C and and U/CHF
Just taking a look at your setup for short N/U. looks nice indeed.

(Still waiting for my "old" brokers withdrawal to fund my new account. till then..not too many trades at once possible. will have to decide )
