EURCHF was a nice trade for me, yes.
Me too, I am still in & trailing a 50 pip stop .. nothing like the feeling of being hundreds of pips in profit on a trade & trailing a 50 pip stop!!

Some people in here, can't remember who .. were talking about a major upcoming move in EURAUD .. was that move supposed to be up or down? My charts only go back to 1999 & it looks like the lows it is at now are as low as it's ever been .. is there expectation of a 'major' drop from here?

1985 saw a low of 6380, dont know about expectation,2008 saw high of 16040,i beleive eur is on a dodgy wicket so could be a lovely ride down.

Unbelievable the cable this morning, believing cable was going down alongside the euro I got totally caught out and am waiting to breakeven at 1.54, or should I stick to my analysis that it's in a downtrend and retarget 1.53?

Woohoo nice start!!!....

she continued her whipping mode overnight...S/L hit at 1.5374

Being off-screen couldn't take the opposite trade...

Position FLAT for now.
This bitch has made me zero dollars this week.

I will take her eventually. I've loaded again after been taken out at BE on cover yesterday.

On which t/f do you think this pairing is in a downtrend? On 30min/1hr there is an uptrend and on 4hr rangy conditions...the daily is the one that you could argue a downtrend....

Presently the pairing is exhibiting signs of weakness on the sub 30min t/f's following the run up to 5493 this morning and subsequent pullback low @ 5413, but in respect of overall price action as a way of guaging market conditions on each t/f...the present position is as stated above....there are of course other ways to guage trend but my preference is one that is based on price directly.

Whatever you decide, G/L

Not advising here,just saying what i see.On my 1 hour she closed above the 200ema.On all my charts up to 4 hour she is showing signs of upward move. Also she has bounced off 15493 4 times since 1 sept.,including once this am. ..i'd say she is testing this area once again

I'm not familiar with the particular case you're referring to but a major Greek bank announced plans for raising capital which although is nothing bad in and of itself for the bank in question is nevertheless causing concern that this maybe a precursor to a Greek debt restructuring straining investor confidence...

she's being dragged around by cross action, hence her image of b!%§hiness...

all my signals turned long at the break above 1.5374...so really shorts are out of question for me for the time being...

I know another guy just like you. You should put your heads together and start a rock pile.
It hurts so bad to be a LOSER

Do you not have any dignity nor pride? You must have really thick skin with the countless times I've made you crawled back into your hole.

Why keep tourturing yourself?

Very easy to post a chart and say entered long after the event, doh

Try posting real time calls with SL & TP with your chart too.

Thanks for your concerns, I wouldn't call current price "in the middle of the road" though...
