Swissy and CAD stopped out at breakeven, shame wasn't able to be awake to re-enter...they took off nicely like EU.

EU just barely held the breakeven and dumped for 106 pips booked this morning.

Took a position long EU and 11:00 a.m. CST at prior lows...currently in the money 15 pips. Will post charts later.

Decent countrend slope cycling here...getting a little sloppy at the bottom...we'll see how that frequency works out in the coming week.

Had to summon the time and fork gurus for this one...still playing around a little bit with it, but what I've seen so far it looks good. Will have to keep a close eye on this in the upcoming weeks.
