Wednesday Signals

NZDCHF - This is the most interesting chart. I would trade it but I am short NZD already
NZDCAD - Already short this pair but a new signal printed. The pin itself is not in a great location for a new short but it s supportive of the existing one.

All other signal discarded.

Really enjoying this Mike, Ive been looking at weekly reversal bars and weekly bar closes and playing them off the 4hr. test results are better than my normal
returns so this "area" in trading really interests me..

Oh, thanks for the Pro screener !!! : )

Will be tagging along if thats OK..

Open Positions

NZDCAD - Short - Holding
GBPCHF - Long (Had an outside short pin today, depending on how it opens Monday I might close the long, the bar is not an ideal short so will not reverse position)
AUDCHF - Short - Holding

Friday

CADJPY - ShortPin context bad (part of a range prior 4 bars) however, at a nice Resistance area. I'm reluctant to buy the JPY atm. No trade.
GBPAUD - ShortPin looks nice @ previous support level but the bar before was a outside bullish pin so the signals a bit questionable. No trade
GBPNZD - ShortPin looks better than the AUD as its at the end of 2 strong up days. Problem is that 1.8 has been well defended twice now. No trade

Monday

All the Yen long signals ignored as I have long orders on the USD/JPY pair in my position trading account.

One swing signal selected today.

GBP/CAD
This is a pretty choppy pair but the pin looks like its in-line with the prevailing trend.
I am also short the NZD/CAD (so this signal is supportive) and these CAD crosses are often slow moving and choppy in nature, as evident in the NZD/CAD trade. Orders as follows:

Tuesday

GBP/CAD Short orders cancelled as a HH made.

No long signals today.
Short signals on Yen crosses ignored as the come after a long pin signal. All looking a bit choppy.

EUR/CAD short signal but context poor and is right at potential support. A long perhaps??...

No orders today.

No quality signals today.
The GBP/NZD is interesting. Got a signal last Friday and it has chopped around. Still range bound and still not a great signal imo.

One signal only today.
AUD/CAD - Formed a continuation pin not a reversing pin. Pretty bullish bar but ignored none the less.

Hi Mike - I think I'd be more comfortable short at 42 (PO's placed at 4190) - based mainly on fundies but also the chart looks bearish to me.

Fair enough. I cancelled the orders as the pin did not pan out.
Hope alls well with you.
