Another reason I gave up stocks is that I work shifts and that makes it hard to keep track of positions, some times I go to work and its quiet and I can look at the screen but mostly Im very busy so I can't monitor prices so it is easier to concentrate on one or two fx rates do trades at home and leave oco orders to close. I have found that if I concentrate on a very few trading instruments it may be a little boring but I make money which is what were here for.

Maggot, after 4 years trading I have only recently discovered it hope to stay aquainted from here on

Maggot - 21 Jan 2005 14:16 - 2927 of 11056

Just checked the last four weeks (hourly chart) on USD/Yen and the weekly trend has reversed at each weekend. So w/c Dec 24 down, low Fri pm, Jan 3 up, high Fri pm; w/c Jan 10 down, low Fri pm; this week rising, currently near high. Interesting pattern which suggests the trend next week will be down from Monday morning. Have I read it correctly?

mostrader - 21 Jan 2005 14:18 - 2928 of 11056
