    *Note the MM levels have been updated for the month of August and the new limit orders reflect these 4/8ths levels of my charts. Because the market has been trending down, my targets have been shaved considerably. In one instance, the new levels on EUR/AUD ensure a loss of -35 pips.

    Booking some profits ahead of the numbers tommorrow as the range has been so tight there might be some very nice opportunities to buy back my positions. And if I'm wrong, well, I only make less...

    *Not at fully overbought levels yet but selling now and waiting a few days, or hours, will only yield more overnight interest, a win win entry i.m.o... (chart posted below)

    I have also used a bit of discretion on shorting the higher yielding currencies(those contra to the dollar EUR, GBP, AUD, NZD, CAD etc.) on the signals generated on Friday, of which there were many more than I actually entered on. For example the GBP/USD signal short is already up some 200( chart posted below) pips from entry but I chose not to take the signal as I didn't want the expected overnight carry interest to eat up profits. This turned out to be a very bad trade decision. However, I entered the USD/CHF long trade at 1.2500 as it yields an overnight interest payment and this trade is up more than 100 pips. In a few weeks when the volume returns to the stockmarket I will use this rule less as currencies become more volatile and overnight interest will be less of a concern.

  9. AUD/USD B .7131 sold .7146 +15

    Holding long after a sell signal was issued a few days ago. There's no decisive price movement. It's time to exit.
