April '04 Forex

thought we had a lower high, after a lower low. thought the trend had turned.

as it is, we had yet another higher high. that must be about the 30th on the trot now!

Thanx Wanderer. I was starting to think that everyone had moved onto another system and not told me about it ! !

Do you trail your stop. I've just moved mine to breakeven.

What time-frame are you looking at?

On the 5 min chart, there have been higher highs and higher lows since about 10:00 a.m.

My long entries this a.m. were based on a variation of JT's system. Unfortunately, I tried to be clever and got dumped on my a**e for not following my system. :eek:
 
was scarily looking at the 1 min chart :S

oo, i think we have finally had the break-down.

lets hope it gets some momentum up. i could do with a 100 pointer to recover the day!

:)
 
eh 'up,

I'm new to FX having mainly traded indices. Looking forward to contributing here as and when.

I'm long EUR/USD from this morning at 1.1801

I'm keeping an eye on this trade with a 5 min chart with a 55MA - RSI(14) and Slow Stochastics (39,1,1).
 
welcome to the madhouse chow.

not had a good day on this pesky £/$ so far today.

here are my latest thoughts. any move up should be limited from here, not only do we have round number support, but a few lines of resistance coming. at least i think so at any rate lol..

Goober : What's your variation ? (No prob if you don't want to reveal it !)

ChowClown : Nice entry. Let us know how you get on.

ivorm, it seems to be struggling with resistance now at 1870, so my stops are nice and tight now...
 
Short-term long worked on the Euro then - looking for 1900 to be serious resistance, as a round number and also to maintain the overall downward trend. Might not even get there though. Still fairly unsure for the day's direction.

It doesn't take a genius to see that the day's direction is definitely north. I would be surprised to see a reversal before 18:00 this evening. Mind you, I have been wrong before - please see my signature line below! :LOL:
 
spoke too soon. looks like the move down it "beginning to start"...


come on baby, come to chinos. he needs to eat tonight!

Looks like you're following original Johnny T breakout system correctly although I think that there was some modifiation suggested using 6 hourly bars to 8am with 60 point stop.For time being I am sticking to original system of 3 hourly bars to 10 am with 40 point stop-slightly wider stop than 35 points suggested but leaves bit extra leeway if SB companies try to hit stops to bomb you out.Trail stop to lock in profit/minimise losses especially on day like today where fairly rapid moves in our favour.

System given excellent results today-my current positions:

Euro/USD-Buy 1.1832-stop @1.1855

GBP/USD-Buy 1.7830-stop @1.7853

USD/CHF-Sell 1.3160-stop @1.3135

USD/JPY-Sell @108.70-stop @108.69

Currently trailing stop 20 pips behind so should see decent profit regardless of what happens now
 
good work TW.

hope the yen works out. its a pretty stubborn beast sometimes. never seems to move as much as the others lol!
