Thanks, sods law I've been having a mare on the FX markets (so far) this week (b/e so far), the ranges some of my pairs have been stuck in (EUR/JPY) have been annoying. :rolleyes: Ah well..onwards and upwards eh? :)
 
HI Guys,

You are good; I'm going to have to improve my calls to beat you lot.

Took more points today in GBPUSD than I've taken all week in the eurjpy. Took 192 points in oil today also.

My eurjpy started to work after last night Yen data (just as planned).

I will see if I can get some follow through tomorrow before closing.

Mike

Good luck everyone, I'm playing hard ball this week. stuck my neck out last week, playing 'safe'(?) this. I'm alrready long from intra day set up Friday = +70 already.

I like the markets here. Hard to choose. I was looking at several US stocks / grains etc but thought this was the higher probability.

Good luck everyone and all who sail in her.
