hey mate, i trade in a similar way, using TL's, SR, price action.
I agree with the eur/usd long, could have the potential to go to 1.35
Cheers

Hey selmer6, you're sup-res lines look pretty close to mine. Glad to see someone else picking similar numbers!

We're bumping into the 38.2 from the December to June swing. Probably gonna take CPI or GDP tomorrow to push through it. Breaking 1.31 today was useful but we might see a retrace to 1.30. In any case I try not to fight my strategy too much.

Happy trading!

Hey mate
Could you post some charts regarding $/yen so i can see your reasoning?
To me we are nearing the support level from Nov 09.
And yes, our S/R are close, mine are drawn from a weekly line chart.
Have you dropped down timeframes, i work off the daily, with an eye on the weekly and monthly for guidance.

All the best

Stopped on both EUR/USD positions.

I'll tighten my stop to 86.90 on USD/JPY short from 87.90.

Hey dude, here's the chart I traded USD/JPY on. I traded the short previously but a little tighter. I'm trading it again as the close lined up good enough for me!

I suspect USD/JPY doesn't have much further to tall but I'm hoping for an exhaustion spike.

July 2010

I doubt any trades will trigger now and stops are in place on the remaining two positions (GBP/USD and USD/JPY).

Rather than dump a list of trades that's unreadable here's a slighter better view of July's trading.
