I really like the approach to trading on this thread. Keep it simple and try to catch a good move. A good idea especially in this kind of market with wild moves every day. Only need to catch a couple of good moves to do well.

Short UCAD 1.3950, ECAD 1.5540, stops about 50 pips or so.

Too Early to short UCAD I think. USD too stong and Oil too weak

Hey, all! I shorted GBP/JPY finally. I feel kind of stupid not looking to get short to start the week, but hindsight is 20-20, right?

The EUR/USD longs are looking really solid though; I'm holding.

I'm out of GBP/USD with a slight loss. It's just not performing the way I thought it would.

Still liking USD/CAD shorts and still holding.

Not a stellar start to the week for me, but hopefully it'll get better.

This is gotta be the best forum page, something i can relate too (swing trading) as well as you all make it enjoyable to trade with all the input appreciate it!! Just a quick question, With Swing Tarading do you ever trade or look at charts lower than 1HR, i use Daily, 4HR and 1hr but i do tend to look at 30min, 15min and 5min but i find i sometime feel i get overload of information or i wanna know/see whats happening, any suggestions? Plan on going live next 2months. Geppy your blog is great very informative. i made some great profits today even tho its not real money haha

I still like the USD/CAD trade with a target of 1.3550 -- hasn't been invalidated yet in my opinion.

Be careful with the GBP/JPY. It could get away from you. What would you do if it dropped another 200 pips?

Hey Evilzim, thanks for the kind words. I really like how this thread is developing too. Seems to be a good pace with people being thoughtful about their posts. I dig that.

In regards to timeframes <1-hour... I do look at them but rarely take trades based on them. They can be good for drilling down and seeing what's going on, but like you mentioned it can also just become too much. Not only that, you tend to start getting emotionally sucked in to every pip. And that's not really the point of swing trading.

In fact, last night we were all kind of watching the lower timeframes and you could argue it resulted us missing the forest over the trees. We should have been looking to the 1-hour timeframe and attempting to find an entry for low-risk shorts. Had we done that we'd all be grinning ear-to-ear today.

Oh well, always learning!

Everyone is here to learn, so i must say everyone here has been helpful with their inputs, glad there is a community around the world that actually wants to discuss and improve their skills.

Okay well that clears it up looking at those shorter time frames drives me crazy definitely an emotional roller-coaster haha

regarding USD/CAD it seems like some H&S is forming...
