thanks, savant. this was not a trade based on the software, sorry about the confusion---i use the programs for intraday stuff, this is a longer term entry which i scale into. these trades are normally a little early, but the scaling in brings my B/E often near the price rollover/under point.

holding shorts here...

Quote from ElectricSavant:

Folks if the trend were to be valid...it would be in Forex before equities, due to the nature of the thing...You have got banks and entire countries validating support and resistance..instead of a microcosm of news about some CEO moving to the Bahama's

Wow. That is an interesting statement. Do you have any evidence of a lead/lag relationship? I dont expect any details, a simple yes or no will do.
 
The grammar was wrong..I mean, "don't throw out trend following in the Forex Market"...

hey bit--- i actually enjoy the FX market as a supplemental market to trade. i find it to be quite amiable to the style of scaling in and out. yes, there are drawbacks, but overall its decent.

i was highly skeptical from my background in equities futures and some options. but have found there is definitely opportunity there.

we are continuing to feel the heat as the position moves against the entry here. i am still indicating dollar strength this week---gonna give it some more time. remember, when trading this way, position sizing in relation to your capital is critical!
