    According to IFR liquidity is a major factor in the swift declines today, not any fundamental macro shift. This is a perfect opportunity to pick up more high yielding currencies(NZD).

    These are the last two trades which carried negative overnight interest balances. I will not be opening anymore trades with negative overnight interest regardless of the reversal signals I see.

    *I'm using an average of 20k per pip. 2 months of posted journals and a several thousand pips profit, not bad for a washed up futures trader:D

  7. Excellent results and system, saki. I was just wondering if you plan on changing your system at all if (when..) the markets start trending again? I'd imagine that could potentially hurt you if you just go off overbought/oversold.

  8. Saki-

    you visited my journal and I have now seen yours, as I said i would...the thing that strikes me is how much more complex your system is than mine.

    however, it looks like it works :cool:

  10. Thanks for your comments. Yes, I intend to modify the system once the daily trading range has been violated, I will average in less frequently. I anticipate the trading range will be broken towards the end of the year. When a new prices for the year are carved out, I will expand my primary timeframe(from 4hour to daily). This is an experimental system once which I don't have complete faith in, however it seems to work well at present.
