Quote from PaulRon:

Are we allowed to be critical here?

Oh well... I think I know what you're doing here in playing the channel, but why set your take profit above 1.03? Why not actually <b>play the breakout</b> of the channel? Why limit yourself? If we break out up, which I think we will, I'm converting my base currency from CAD to USD in Oanda (I'm canadian) since I think it could run quite a ways. just my $.02

Well we have breakout... I will wait for confirmation but will be converting my base currency from CAD to USD... Very bullish on USD now in most currency pairs.

Ivan, thanks for allowing me to post my trades along with you. It's been an honor! Good luck and happy pip hunting.
 
Took a loss last week (-60) on the Kiwi trade but looking to re-enter, this time short.

Currently flat going into FOMC but looking at the 7240 line as that represents the 61.8% Fib retracement from the 6600-8200 run from last summer. It has bounced off it a few times and briefly dipped below this morning before recovering, but if it breaks that with dollar positive news from Fed then I'll look for a short down to 7100, then 7050. If 7240 holds again, then take a long as support holds at this level for now.
