Quote from Buy1Sell2:

Long Euro FX position has been closed and reversed today with prices ranging from 1.30410 to 1.30440. I am now short the Euro FX and will be covering short calls as we go here thereby sealing in the profit on those as well. My stop on the short position is above 1.33730 (high on continuation chart). Once again--now short the Euro FX. :)

3. The bulk of my trading is in the Euro fx. The other 4--Aussie, Canadian, Pound and Yen are just dabbles. I like the Euro fx because of the liquidity and the diversification over several countries.
 
Attached here is an hourly chart of the March euro fx contract. It shows a class A Bullish divergence with both the histogram and RSI. The same type of pattern is evident on shorter charts today as well, notably the 2 minute chart which I will post in a moment.

I've gotten away from a few things recently that are basic to successful trading. The daily trend in euro fx is down. Until that changes, the only signals I should be taking are sell signals. I am watching the charts for that now with the rise of the past minutes.

The daily trend in the Pound was down, but is unclear at the moment even with the recent rise. I'll be waiting for that to clear up a bit before making any more trades.

Canadian still in down mode. I should only be looking at sells

Aussie --a bit unclear just now


Yen--still down -- only look for sells right now


I don't know why I have gotten away from the three screen type of trading, but it really is important even if I miss some trades.
 
Missed a nice run up in the Euro fx here today. Rules are rules though and I am glad to be back to them in full force. The predominant trend is down. I skip longs.
