Thanks LJ. Was hoping to get mainly JPY and USD, so I looked around for awhile, and found sigtrader. They have all of the main crosses, and their feed is perfect. Just thought I'd share, hopefully useful to someone.
PS Thanks again as always, love your work

Below is the weekly feed on sigtrader for EUR index! Totally different to LJ's below it. Which is correct?

Can't remember if I checked the actual price movements or not, of the price movements are the same and the makeup of the indexes are identical then the actual price levels do not matter...but as I only use EURX and USDX I decided to stay with what I know.

Hmmmm bold moves, I would have taken the opposite sides of each of those positions if I had to take a direction
There were other factors effecting the market too which imissed, other than that piece of news.

A near perfect 1st time back with fib+TL confluence earlier this morning.
Would the quality of this setup make you more likely to bypass the minor breakeven point I was looking at? Or was it not even a consideration?

You think this is to conservative? Ended up as a breakeven for me. Thought for sure I managed it well. No biggie, just a little second guessing

If I had an FTA that close I wouldn't even take the trade, there has to be some space to the FTA.
My FTA was the area I marked in my chart above.
I wouldn't even look twice at that area. If you compare the confluence at the location you took the trade to the area you marked as your FTA then for me if the TT can't get past that area then then there is something wrong with the setup.

What about this trade I took earlier too? You can see my FTA with the first upwards pointing arrow, and then my possible target at the check mark. I felt pretty ok about my target (though a bit aggressive of one I felt), but I was again pretty clueless on where to breakeven at. What do you think about both my be point and target? I really suck at trade management, could you please give me a rundown of how you'd manage this, assuming you would take this trade. Thanks again

Thanks LJ. Guess I should of been less conservative. I generally don't take trades with ftas so close, but liked this trade so much, felt there was like a 95 percent chance it hit my FTA. Perhaps there was almost just as good of a chance it would hit your FTA, and I guess my FTA too was just to meaningless

Bold moves as LJ would say. But i like PA before news sometimes.
.
But I posted on the forum earlier this GJ trade I'm in. SL moved up to 132.20 now so just waiting to see if news can make it soar higher if not it'll be a +0.67R win.
