    I'm adding forex to my ever growing portfolio, so I'm going to take a stab at trading a few pairs in a small account set up for just this purpose. I expect to make a lot of mistakes and invite anyone to comment, criticize, and praise as they see fit. All are welcome here.

    My focus will be on 3 pairs for the near future because that's all the screen space I can spare for the moment. (I trade eminis too, and dabble in oil occasionally)

    EUR/USD
    USD/CAD
    USD/JPY

    I picked those for the reason they seem to have a lot of movement 24/5. I'm up for considered suggestions though should anyone have advice.

    As I said, this thread is open to all, I'm a beginner in forex and any help is always appreciated.

    Why did you short the EUR @ 10724? Why is your stop 10811?
     
  5. are you using MT4 or someother platform. I would like to know your setup like leverage, lot size etc.

    I think it was better to trade USDJPY yesterday but anyway, what profit did you get? What analysis methods did you use to find the confirmations for entering the market?

    I feel the US markets will go higher, and since the EURO often runs the other way of the indices I shorted it. Really nothing more complicated than that.
