steviet replied Mar 5, 2007Hmm, You must admit it does look a little strange unless of course $250k means as little to you as $250 means to me

steviet replied Mar 5, 2007Yup, It's certainly off to a stormer - I guess looking at the charts it's a EU short later which means EU & UCHF will probably act as a hedge - hopefully both stop losses don't get hit for a double whammy lol. Need to try and keep the same mindset ...

steviet replied Mar 3, 2007OK, Attached is the daily chart for USDCHF as promised. On backtesting, I would have used the candlestick alone and gone short but going long at Sunday open (unless it opens under 1.2145) seems the way to go with little risk involved. Backing up the ...
