20060127 9:12 am ET. So we shorted the USDCHF on the way up, with a change of plan. Used the 1.2735 level, which was the 200 day ema. (This was a key level in trend) Took a little heat but the release of the data today( whatever it was) caused the intraday reversal for a little floating profit in favour of the position. Let's see how it goes holding this longer term position. Posted by Picasa

20060124 5:52 am ET. USDCHF showed a buy signal with a crossover of the moving averages, entered at 1.2613. This pair exhibits the cleanest charts on this 20 min timeframe, due to geopolitical factors bringing the Swiss Franc back as a risk averse asset class. Posted by Picasa

20060120 Candlestick shows buyers taking control overwhelming initial sellers. Could this be the move that breaks the bull flag? Our short position in EURUSD was covered at a loss. Shows that the bigger picture patterns should not be ignored. The USDCHF short worked out nicely though. Posted by Picasa

20060113 The EUR came back and the remaining 2 contracts exited at 1.2120. Later it surged to a strong close. Ah! Such is trading, to hold a trade into serious heat and relief to flip out for minute profit only to see it go way in favour. Posted by Picasa
