would you mind if I asked why you moved your stop to 952.00 on 8/5? was it because of the probable MACD divergence on the daily or was there some other reason?

thanks

Thank you for the question. It was outside the recent noise on the daily chart.:)

I still carry a medium term upward bias on the Aussie and Euro fx, but for now I think I just need to stand aside based upon what the daily looks like. I will get back in later if the opportunity presents itself. :)

some other questions if, hopefully, you don't mind?

I have put in quite a bit of time reading your posts so I understand how you are looking at things, but just trying to understand a few of the intricacies of what you do.

Looking at the GC and euro trades ( I believe I understand the entries):

both have a similar formation, but the initial stop for GC is further away than the initial stop for the euro (based on the charts, not necessarily $ wise). Is that because the euro is stronger on a weekly and/or basis and therefore needs less room?

Also, I assume you are using the weekly as longer term and trading off the daily chart, correct? If so, when you put on a trade in the daily timeframe are you attempting to take "chunks" out of the weekly trend as long as it's in place by moving the stop aggressively or are you trying to stay in as long as the weekly is moving in your direction by keeping the stop somewhat "loose?"

thanks for your time.
