seems like the kiwi is already on the stairway to heaven.. lol. perhaps others will follow suit.. in time.

hopefully can get cable to retrace back down to at least 6060 before moving upwards.

I don't think I've ever seen a chart with more indicators than this.

I think it's better to take cash and run. You can always re-enter if breaks 6175 on a re-test.
This is how I trade as well...I pick out the major levels and then take profit after it reaches the other side. If it breaks, catch the re-test, if it doesn't, you take a small loss relative to what you can make. No reason to risk losing all of your gains over a few pips spread.

Hi,

I think we will go higher, maybe higher than 6300. The market is crazy - dominant the fiscal cliff fear

Likely to retest 1.6062 before a move higher.

Hi Specs, I appreciate and understand your concern mate, I do

I'm simply being 100 percent mechanical here.

My swing chart tells me that different TF's conflict.
In short, we are still compressing on these TF's and market is still FUBAR.

Looking at PA, I do actually expect the top stop loss to be hit but when we bust out of this compression, I want to be there to ride it. There is also the chance I will get a valid long signal after a retrace here if it occurs, in which case I will add long with a tight stop keeping the short open in case I am wrong about the 2nd long.

I've got an $860 account (grown from $400 a few months ago ), so is a good time to put things to the test.

If it blows it blows, but I won't be in the poor house, and don't expect it to blow.

I've got some good trading tools Specs so just putting them thru their paces.

Cheers mate

allright then mate, hopefully i don't get to hear any blown account.. since i want you to be here for a long long time..

just remember this mate, to be profitable in this business you don't need to chase every wave mate.. and remember that a lot of money are made while waiting.. i mean we get a lot of waiting time here and not everyday our position get triggered, and when get triggered it will takes some time to add to the position...

and please, next time if you plan to hedge, take a better price, will you?

and currently i'm waiting for 6060 to long..

It's ok, I don't think you understood me though.
This trade is not about catching every wave, it's about protecting what I have open in the market.

I am just being mechanical. PA tells me we have more upside but when chart indies conflict I am simply covering for the unexpected that's all. I agree I will be very fortunate to make any money on this down move but just protecting my open profit in case of the unexpected.

my question to u is..why wait for 6060, why not trade it to this point..unless u think the changes of 6060 are bad?..i dont understand the logic, especially if u are waiting for this number

maybe you're right, being old sometimes let me think the new strategy in the market.

perhaps it's because of my conservative strategy.

i wish you all green pips and all the best to you mate, i really mean it.
