5m chart

 

[wackypete2]

exit 1.34805 +5.2 pips on 1/2 postion today

 

[wackypete2]

For now, shorting near 1.3490, buying near 1.3475
We won't have enough volume for breakout plays due to NFP later today. Most traders are sitting on their hands until then, but playing the ranges can be just as profitable.

I'm not sure how profitable is to trade these pre NFP ranges. Tried it before and most of the time they were highly anoying trades with small profits or losses.

Peter

 

[Lord Flasheart]

im praying, low is 1.01093, my stop 1.01072, my broke is honest so i dont very often get those nasty little spikes to nick my stop

usdcad

 

[Lord Flasheart]

Long usd/cad at 1.0137 sl 1.0115

from fib line in vid, worth a shot, ideally would like 10-15 points lower

-29 x 2 as i moved stop,still got options, but need a big ride on them

I agree mostly. I do ok, but nothing too impressive. Small stakes too.
