Hi guys, here is a trade that I took about 30 min ago with eur/jpy. As I have mentioned prev I always go with round #s and this is between the round#s, so I am taking it with my demo account.

I have extended the SL to 9110 on that trade which is the next high, it might find a resistance there and I am still under the 1:1 RR, which is fine. Or we could see the price retrace to 9150 area and that is with higher 4hr time frame.

Paulus did you take the trade for usd/chf from point A area? Looks like a good setup and it looks like it is shaping the 'W' shape, the only thing it is violated one of my main round # rule that is why I didn't got on to that trade. The price landed ...

nzd/jpy shows a downtrend on a 4hr chart. It was a good trade from point C this morning for me, it was a good rally to the downside. After this rally I looked at it and I found out the points A,B,C,D and to take another trade if price retraces to ...
