  3. Yes and no. Yesterdays reversal did not appear. There seems to be a strong case for a reversal, but price dictates otherwise.
    In other words...WTF is going on?:confused:

  4. David you watching this, nice swing in fx. I guess just giving back some gains but the swings are crazy. I have been averagin the scalps I am trying to do playing the bounces. These things are bouncing 100 pips a clip and not talkin about the e/a I mean the e/u g/u it nuts. Be safe

    Nov 9-14
    9 wins 3 losses +72 pips
    Nov 16-21

    3 wins 0 losses +35 pips
    Dec 28-30
    5 wins 1 loss +34 pips
    Total 22 wins 15 losses +187 pips


    2 month aggregate of approx 52-48% W/L ratio
    Up 779 pips for the 2 months
    Tough 2nd week in December-poor position choices.
    Most of December I stayed quiet.
    I increased the number of units traded to 500. This may come as a surprise to some, as most traders on this thread trade a full-size account (?), but these past couple months were a return to trading for me, and I felt a scaling of size was the best method until I could reach a consistent profit.
    I will add a small amount of cash to my account after the 1st of the year, and will further scale trade size as results warrant.
    In retrospect, I have thoroughly enjoyed the past few months on this thread, and appreciate all legitimate feedback I have received(Cable, Reaver, rsikit, increasenow, Ivan, Gringinho, trackstar, etc) and would like to wish you silly bastards all the best for the new year!!.:p

  8. Couldn't help it, saw a bounce off s/r line for 22 pips.
    Huge spread, but this fits current strategy.
    Happy New Year!!

  9. Late start to the day, and EUR/AUD made a run south to another s/r line. One false start on a reversal for -15, re-entered and closed at approx 50% of last move down, +36.
    Definitely beef jerky time, do not wish to push it.
