  5. I trade in my spare time whether it's at night watching TV or early in the AM before work.

    I try to find some larger swing trades whenever possible such as USDCAD (.618 retracement resistance @ 1.2125 - adding on short positions in 1.2110-1.2125 range) and the GBPUSD (chart shown earlier). I trade whenever I see an opportunity so the % of this or that doesn't really factor in.

    I'm still feeling out the various pairs but at this stage I like GBPUSD and USDCAD. I'm also not opposed to EURUSD.

  7. Not especially - they just provide useful areas to look for sup/res. I'm an equity man by nature but with currencies I simply check out the charts and get a feel on the longer term scales for where something's headed, then scale in to the shorter term and see if opportunities exist to travel in the LT on a ST pullback/correction. Fib helps to that end.

  10. With the Gbp/EUR rising looks like another 300 pips down. I don't see a bottom until 1.39. For anyone to go long right now would be a sure fire loss.
