Quoting Arfer Daily
I have noticed on the Ava Fx live feed that some pairs such as UsdSgd don't have as much history as the Alpari feed. Why is that and is there anything I can do about it? I tried to download history from Metaquotes in the history centre but nothing happened.

Also, does anyone know of a website or software that I can use to scan stocks every morning that will alert me to gaps?
As far as history is concerned, I have to admit I am not sure how you load the Metaquotes stuff, sorry. You will find that various brokers have differing lengths of history. For example, Interbank FX has very little history of CAD/JPY.

As far as scanning gaps, you can try http://www.stockcharts.com under pre defined scans. Good luck finding anything worth a damn outside of the US markets.

What was the reasoning behind a long entry?
Pin bar on the Daily with MACD divergence and at near all time lows.

Not the best set-up, but good enough to play to the First Trouble Area, IMO.

It does look good, but I don't see any technical analysis screener....so you couldn't search for outside bearish bars for example. I could be wrong - but haven't seen them yet.

I have to say I don't trade dailies and I'm still pretty bearish EurGbp but the chart could well be right.

To be honest I'm completely flat at the moment while I'm changing brokers and my "investment horizon" has lengthened considerably recently anyway.

I dont like it as a flag, it has extended too far out in my estimation. The weekly chart shows a nice pinbar that has pushed price up from a little while back.

We are trying to head to 80 still in my opinion.

I like both sides of the story. I've been bullish EG for a bit now, but missed the entry several weeks back, this is a mid-term analysis.

Long term, I'm much more interested in shorting it at the lower TL of the triangle you drew so many months ago, in fact I was a little envious of Arfer's short, because I was holding out for a higher price to sell at.

I think both views can be correct depending on trade duration.

I may play it since 500 pips is just fine if you can get in for less than a 100 pip stop....otherwise I'll just be waiting for a short op higher up.

Don't be too jealous, I closed the trade out for a small gain due to changing brokers.

Hahaha... Yeah, I couldn't resist when I saw that on his wikipedia entry (don't ask why I was reading Eazy-E's Wikipedia entry...). It's just too funny of a picture!
