Re: Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (08:15 GMT)

Thank you for your analysis but I think it would be better if you kept all the posts to one thread.
This would make it easier to see previous days analysis and also keep the forum more tidy.

Maybe call it 'Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors - Provided by windsorbrokers'. If that is allowed.
