I'm not sure how trading with a U.S. account will play out. I believe I'm also limited by the FIFO (first in first out) rule. My broker appears to put all positions in a single pair with one stoploss- I believe because of the FIFO rule. Aside from ...

If it goes up it will most likely be slow and steady. I'm mostly bearish on this pair though, thinking a quick drop is likely.

GBP/JPY

Thanks for the reply. I'll get you a copy of that data at the end of this year Sorry, I was half asleep when I posted. It is 10-1-2012 to 12-26-2012 I do not believe it is a timezone issue. My broker(IBFX) uses GMT and I have not changed ...
