You are so right. The only problems are the following:

The people who pay me to be there will not like that at all

What if someone comes in a and asks for something for a headache and I answer "eurocad, three times daily"

Thirdly when you are monitoring a breakout and someone is trying to ask you a question you will want to scream 'Go away cant you see the fibonacci 68.2 is holding on the euro"
Olu, those are good ones

I have uploaded the hourly chart of the ftse100 - our own stock index
We have divergence on the hourly and red candles are starting to appear. Our stock market is very sensirive to the dow futures and this might mean they are going down too.

If they are falling then risk is bailing out of the markets. I continue. If risk is bailing out then the euro, infact all the majors are going to fall (doesnt always happen though)
Little did I know that this was to turn into a bloodbath today. Is there something more sinister going on? i.e a 10% correction?

I was referring to the stock market. This in turn affected the currencies...

BTW check out the nsdusd. There might be a long term short here

Short the Nzdchf from last week with the pin and close below ma's.

With that said...I do not have full free air yet and monthly is now just below support.

Trade at your own DD and MM

This could be a long holder to .5800 +

A chart of the above pair is uploaded for your consideration

Price is above the 100sma and constructive
stoch has turned up
smas 13/34 have crossed positively on the daily chart (not shown)

the same argument goes for euraud but the gbp is stronger than eur.

Well done golfer. You flagged this trade and it is doing rather well. Better than my trades which are lasting 1-2 days at the moment

Thanks for these fantastic examples. I am learning...

Here is my view on GBPAUD, looks bullish for me, price has crossed 50, 100 and 200 MA which is good sign, if it succeeds in breaking 1.6100 resistance then it will clear the way to 1.6200.
Fundamentally speaking, it might get helped by Construction PMI data that will be released in 15mn, wait n see.

3 of interest: AN, EN, GN 240min

close above the median line at 1200GMT [completion of current 240min bar] could signal continuation of strength

You are right PeterE
NZD is weak accross the board. The long term sell is upon us. In fact I missed the sell and now hoping for a retracement

Thanks for your analysis of this pair. I am long this pair and currently under water by 20pips or so. It is trading like a typical congestion zone. Price has been up to 6103 today but as the stock market is up (imho) risk appetite is taking this pair down. I believe this is going up the question is though can I wait it out?

The market today didn't offer good set-ups (according to my systems, I hasten to add). It suited people like Golfer who are already in trades.

O well, well keep looking...
