I am currently watching the price action on the GBP/NZD. I really, REALLY don't like to mess with that wild beast but if my system gives me a trading signal I have to take it without hesitation.
You mean UP 100 pips. That 0.51% move actually represents a 51% daily move due to Forex leverage (assuming the usual 100 to 1 leverage).
Who said anything about long (or short)? Anyway, did you make some money on SPX? Because I sure didn't see any comment from your part about that trade, let alone a specific buy/sell entry point and a stop. Funny how traders just love to post after-the-fact comments just to contradict their fellow traders and look smart. Anyway.
