Sunbury,

The Aussie Dollar has been weak across the board in general because interest rates haven't budged since March 2005, whereas everybody else's seem to have either risen or offer the prospect of rising in the near future. The market has simply been pricing in the loss of the carry. Weak economic data isn't helping future prospects either.

Harlosh - 21 Mar 2006 17:29 - 5239 of 11056

Hilary,

I'm currently watching GBP,CHF,JPY,EUR against USD and
EUR/GBP and EUR/JPY.

Without wanting to watch them all, are there any others you would suggest I look at?

hilary - 22 Mar 2006 07:51 - 5240 of 11056

Harlosh,

I wouldn't watch Chunnel with a view to trading it because it's more fun watching paint dry. I only use it to get a feel.

The real hairem scarem is GBP/JPY. Not for widows and orphans.

Harlosh - 22 Mar 2006 08:12 - 5241 of 11056

Thanks Hilary.

Divetime - 22 Mar 2006 08:19 - 5242 of 11056

Morning all, just waiting for BOE minutes at 09:30 before deciding which way to go on Cable.

Harlosh - 23 Mar 2006 18:39 - 5243 of 11056

Would like to announce my first winning trade on forex and at this moment in time a nice 71 points. Or should that be pips. :-))

shano1 - 23 Mar 2006 20:23 - 5244 of 11056

Nice one Harlosh, I take it you caught the move after the US Existing Home Sales data release? Did you trade the USDJPY or cable?

Harlosh - 23 Mar 2006 20:32 - 5245 of 11056

Thanks shano.

Actually my system gave a sell signal on Cable yesterday but I didn't take it. It was still there today so I traded it and went out. Came back this evening to a pleasant surprise.

I've been working on my sytem for nearly three weeks solid so it was nice to get a resujlt after many failures.

welldone H. The guy I'm sharing an apartment with has spent 2.5 years on his system to trade fx!

Harlosh - 23 Mar 2006 21:31 - 5247 of 11056

Thanks Gfi. We'll see how long mine lasts. LOL

One swallow doesn't make a summer. :-)

goforit - 23 Mar 2006 22:05 - 5248 of 11056

H, come back to trading after a long lay off, been studying and trading fx since december and I am just starting to get it right.

I think it was Gary Player that said " The more I practice, the luckier I get"

Says it all really

Harlosh - 24 Mar 2006 07:54 - 5249 of 11056

Still short Cable from yesterday.

hilary - 24 Mar 2006 08:07 - 5250 of 11056

Well done, Harlosh. Out of interest, was your sell signal from your P & F wotsit? If so, from the dailies?

Harlosh - 24 Mar 2006 08:10 - 5251 of 11056

Thanks Hilary, fraid it wasn't. Just can't find the right combination of box size, reversal size and time scale. I'm still working on it though.

hilary - 24 Mar 2006 08:40 - 5252 of 11056

That's a pity ........ It would be nice to know if you manage to get your P & F working for FX.

Personally, I would've thought that using daily P & F charts would be too long a time scale for FX unless you were willing to hold for weeks or even months. The problem being that your stop would probably need to be so far away as to kill you on margin. It would be interesting to see what the hourlies throw up though. I don't know if you've got your rt system up and running yet.

Harlosh - 24 Mar 2006 08:41 - 5253 of 11056

Yes I have Hilary. I'll keep you informed.

hilary - 24 Mar 2006 08:45 - 5254 of 11056

Ta Harlosh.

Choccie will probably be in later on today or Monday to say that she's had enough shorting cable this week and she's looking to reverse. How's that for a Jose Mourinho style prediction?

:o)
