Having babbled on about the Bank Holiday, I'd imagine that there will still be enough movement on UC at least to keep Mr-T happy over in The Dead Zone. I may even drop in myself

I seriously have to check for holidays. Why do I keep trading on holidays... WHY...Today's trading results:
- EURGBP FB +4.6 pips
FB high broke. Price went down. Countered at FB middle. Price reached FB low, so I closed the buy and opened another sell, targeting 5 pips below FB low. I was willing to counter at FB 38.2 and keep it in limbo if price went up again. Price went down very slowly. The trade was a bit stressful because there were a couple times when I thought 'I should've just closed the trade.' Anyway, please stop trading on holidays dumb me. Please.

Think Billy's going stir-crazy yet?
Righty-Oh...For the record. Nothing more. If I'd had a gun to my head and had to choose something, I think I'd have gone exotic and taken OIL. Check the Turbo-Charged Chart with all the fancy-shmanshy stuff added and you'll see why.
Back to business tomorrow.
EDIT: GJ would also have made a lot of sense (apart from it containing GBP).
Anyway, where were we...

AUDUSD
USDNOK

A similar situation is also seen on The Dax as it will shoot off to find its place in the world. That made it worth any DAX-Monster scariness to try and grab some of that action. So with the FB running away smoothly, watched with one eye, I got into my armour to face the monster.
There was, of course, the anticipated gap but looking at the chart, you could see the likely outcome. Sure enough, that pivot-point worked like a charm and I took the drop back down (which was, in effect, an almost 1-2-3).
The chart has The Dead Zone from the last DAX working day (28th April) as well as the pivot points and S+D zone.
That pretty much sets me up for the day, however there's no way I'm missing out on The Dead Zone today, so I'll see y'all back here later for that! Trade well.

1. Do you set up both a long and short order and then cancel one when the other activates?
2. Am sure this has been asked a lot but been off this forum for a while and just getting back into it - what is the indicator you are using to display the currency pair buttons and timeframes at bottom of chart?
thanks!

Well, that didn't take long.
EJ was mine - though I'd have preferred it moving North to South, I'll take it anyway...
I may also play it if it comes back through now...
Mr-T's UC - my other call, also hit the target, though that bit of room above meant it went the other way than I perhaps would have expected. Again, another it may be possible to hitch a ride on if it decides to reverse the journey...
After I did a full run-through, the one that slipped through the cracks was USDNOK, which was the absolutely perfect set-up on the day. Didn't get to it on time. My bad...
