Hi Friends,

closed my shorts from Friday evening with +43 pips. Theoretically done for the week :-)

Will now wait and see which structure emerges.

Beautiful ...

I like to use Excel as well for such purposes ... any kind of candles are nice and clear there ...

;-)
One of the nice things about Interactive's API is that they provide a DDE-interface into Excel; pushing the feed into Excel, along with VBA to link in Win32 DLLs, some powerful interface stuff becomes pretty easy.

Thanks Magix,
I agree with you, in what thread did you post this?
When ever somebody posts a link to a single post, you can look in the top right hand corner of the screen to see what thread the posting is in.

For this one, in my MTF thread.

Yeh it's a shitty pair to trade 24-7. Both currencies are used as safe havens and I have no idea why it moves in either direction to be honest. My worst trading record is on that pair. I traded it a months ago for the first time in years. Made a 2 or 3 pips and decided its deffo the a real shite pair to trade and probably wont bother with it again.
I have traded it and when opportunity comes a knocking will trade it again.

But agree, there are better pairs to trade.

For the most part, like tracing the trend on EURGBP (another dogshit trade pair), I use it to watch for better opportunities on my trades...

UJ up, and the pairs go into sell cycles, USD strength, better shorts to be had on EJ... as an example.

Trading cross pair on relations and correlations can add a little more depth to your expectations...

'Course, it all depends on how the MA is built. This is a MA ...................
Yeah and your point is?

An MA no matter how it is constructed can't tell anything more than price itself.

Thats right it spikes all over the place.

UJ is a shitbag I find to trade. I think its down to the fact they are both safe havens and when risk is of the menu traders buy these currencies.

Or, if one was to use Moving Averages, they could say that the 1M resistance line could be all we see. 200EMA 1m chart.

Of course it can't tell anything more than the price itself. It, like any technical tool (or aperceptive approach in PA "reading") is just an amalgam, or a function, of current and past price.

So, my point is that, used properly, ma's are not doggy, stodgy, lagging critters with no value to anyone that many people make them out to be. And I was taking your statement to imply just that; hence my taking exception to it.

In the long run, any method that can tap us in to the market's persistence is a tool that will be profitable. Personally, I don't dis any approach, whether or not I'd be comfortable trading with it.

Im exactly the same! I refuse to trade the eur/gbp anymore, lost every trade on it last year, seems to totally dis-respect price action and technicals to boot, maybe its just bad luck?

And the usd/jpy, even though im in a trade on it now, i will only trade it if its a really obvious setup.

I thought i was the only one...

Back in the day when I used MA's (yes I did at one time) I used fib numbers (21 and especially 89 were favorites) but also ones that lined up with higher timeframes. Such as 12 period on a 5 min chart, i.e. = 60 min.

But found nothing in using whole numbers 100/200 etc. The old big boys/smart money types use them so so should I approach. But that's just me I guess. Mr Tinfoilhat.
