DanUK replied Dec 17, 2008Next stop...? — I don't know if the Euro is heading higher or not, there seems to be so many conflicting opinions at the moment I think all you can do is trade what you see. For me shorting the Euro has looked like suicide over the last few ...

DanUK replied Dec 1, 2008Hi, Thanks BRV and all the contributors to this thread for creating such a wealth of information. I think using s/r techniques is the only way to trade and really understand why you are doing so. With regards to exits - what about using Ironman's 5 ...

DanUK replied Nov 28, 2008I hadn't thought of Bank holidays as "Sunday Bars" before! That's great. Also gives me a bit of a confidence boost as my TP1 on the EU trade was 2700 and the UC was 2150 which looks to be similar areas that you outlined?
