This is a chart of the short I took in EUR/USD. Also included is a picture of what I was doing instead of worrying about it...
Yeah, ya gotta get away sometime.

Nice cars, which is your favorite?

Nice cars! I went short eurusd this morning. I'm thinking of taking profit at 1.24 just in case, anyone else thinking that?

I added on at the top of the last 4 hour candle too, I love this aggressive add on style, if it goes wrong I'll just close out for BE or a small profit. If it goes my way I'm buying one of those cars in the pics above! (well nearly...)

ha ha. Nice. I am not presuming anything other than a long-term run short.....

Same here... I don't watch a lot of sports, but I watch Indy racing and the Redbull air races.

One day I'll spend some time at one of the racing schools.

I wonder if a daily Bollinger band squeeze or Donchian channel breakout system would work well over the lower liquidity summer months?
Position trader - Anything intraweek is just noise...

Chris doesn't trade CFD's. They are not allowed in America.

As mentioned above, Americans cannot trade CFD's. I only trade the real underlying......

A few years ago I tested these strategies. I found that the signals were generated late and tended to get you into the market just before a reversal.

One strategy I have tested and seen work is a Keltner Channel strat on a lower timeframe chart like the 15m. This will work if you are willing to sit at the computer.

I think Chris's Box Trading strat is the way to go. Mark important SR levels. Wait for a PA signal at SR. Kind of buy at X sell at Y.

We have lots of good reasons why most thing positively correlated with US equities could see some more downside, but this chart paints a different picture.

Thanks for the tips. Maybe I'll watch a bb inside a donch channel breakout a few times on volatile pairs like gbpjpy but if you've already tested them I won't waste too much time on it.

It's simple, if nothing else.

Horrible thought really.....can you imagine the NZD/USD at .98? That's what this flag would have you believe.

Trouble is: I don't believe it.

I've been watching this myself and have made a couple of trades inside this channel, but have always been watching for a break above.

At what point would be flag be invalidated? A break below?

By all means do as much testing as you need to form your own opinion, and please post your results. I am always eager to hear about the testing of other traders.

Yes, a break below invalidates the flag completely.

I also noticed that the aussie closed as a weekly bullish outside bar. I might put a little "feeler trade" long the kiwi just to see if it takes the bait.
