if it works trade it till it stops working...what kind of answer are you looking for???... Perhaps trends are longer.....and currencies revert to a level that politicians, governments and banks want them to be at? or... maybe correlations within the currency world are maintained... or... Hedging within imports and exports are longer lasting..... or... Maybe sKaLpZy is going long with his hundred million... Michael B.

From the "trading hammers: revisited" thread, I believe sunnyskies is talking about reversing a trade when a hammer fails... right sunny?
