Thanks, shiko, but I can't enlarge your chart enough to make out the prices down the side. Would it be possible for you to use MT4's "save as picture" facility? It would be reproduced a lot clearer on here, to be honest.
eyevoltage, this is actually what I did. save as picture...but loaded with imageshack.

I wonder how to put arrows?
Looking at your chart, the facility for arrows is on the same toolbar as the crosshairs, arrow, fibs etc. Look along the toolbar and you'll see an "A" and a "T". Next one along is the arrow facility. Click it and you'll be presented with a menu, and in there you'll find up and down arrows. Play around with it and all will be revealed!

That was my point, mate. The MT4 charts seem to be reproduced a lot clearer on here than Imageshack's. Give the MT4 "save as picture" facility a go, and see how it turns out.

2 trades. shorted at 84.78 with stop at 85.08. first went 15 pips in my favor, expected to at least test lower 84.38 price. it went against me. closed for -25 pips. after 15 pin formed and crossed 85.00 I went long. stop of 40 pips at 84.60 trend line formed. first targets around 85.50 closed 2/3 of the trade looking for 86.00-86.40 for the last part. will probably move stop from BE to +20-30 pips if it breaks 86.60.

This one broke the TL, took its own sweet time to retrace back to the TL, and then formed a bearish harami, and a large one at that! Too good to ignore, so entry and exit as shown, after two good momentum candles.

this one worked out smoother:

price didn't quite make it to day's open.
formed a bearish harami there.

entry: 11085 (below harami).
exit : 11052 (near 11050 and pivot).

another EJ short came up along with my post siesta tea:

TL break following push down from 11050, pivot and ma zone.
entry: 11037
exit : 11024 (near mS1)

Good trade. Can I ask why you took the Ej and not the EU trade, which was a very similar setup, but had pretty limited results?

Thanks!

Trend-line break, retracement and a comparatively sudden (strong momentum) drop to within a pip or two of S1. Entry and exit as indicated.

Couple of easy trades on the Aussie replete with EV style price tags (I had no idea how to do that until a couple of pages back).

Glad you'll be able to sleep now, mate!
Nice trades, by the way.

Delite,

really didn't make a choice between the two.
when i opened mt4 the ej setup was staring me in the face. grabbed it even before drawing the TL.

incidentally, as you may have noticed of late, if good setups appear in two pairs around the same time, i tend to take both.
