Then why am I being charged swap when I'm long? Hmmm??
Itīs pretty normal if the rate differential is not big enough to cover brokerīs expenses to carry your position overnight...

Only a few combinations are bringing carry profit, such as long kiwi or aussie...

hope that helps.

You should check your brokerīs rollover policy for details.

Speeding (wreckless op) and an OVI... I blew not even a beer over the legal limit. I'm a big guy... didn't even have a buzz. I was driving like a jackass because I was having some fun with my car, not because of intoxication... but of course, the courts don't see it that way.

Well... m15 is kinda toppy, h1 can still go up, h4 wants to go down.. So pretty much can go anywhere.. lol. And however we slice it, it's gonna go against my position.

Kinda what I'm seeing too... across the board...

m5 bullish
m15 bullish
m30 bullish
H1 bullish
H4 bearish (looking like it's trying to switch right now, but 1.45 hours to go)
D1 Bullish...
W1 Bullish
MN Bearish

Ehh... lol. Better retrace or not? Seems like or not is the better answer right now.

lol. I've been employing a price cross over and just trading a type of moving average. Apparently price doesn't believe in support/resistance/supply/demand anymore. Just trying to follow momentum these days.

lol that has been the key. That must have been where your quote in your sig came from a few weeks ago... haha.

Seems like anytime a zone is breached it is a 50/50 chance of reversing or plowing through.

Still tradable within the numbers, but I like to have at least a little bit of an edge on my wins vs losses. This was a lot more fun when I was up in the 90% accuracy range.
