Welcome everyone to the EUR/USD interactive trading thread. The main intention behind starting this thread is so that we can all chat nearly "live" while we trade the eur/usd. Think of this like a cross between a forum thread, a blog, and twitter...

So, to start things off...let me tell you the trade that I'm currently in.

I entered on the M30 TF. I use a range breakout system based on bollinger bands, CCI, and a custom volatility indicator that uses multiple moving averages. Position was opened at the opening of the second candle after the breakout of the bb range.

Retracement is complete, re-entered at 1.2683...hoping to get past 1.2787 R3 on daily

The pair has kind of lost momentum so I'm not so sure about this position...I'm watching it closely and will place a tight stop loss on it.

Ok, I'm out..position closed with minor loss...this market is in a range and friday's close is getting near and I don't want to get caught with an open position.

Have a great weekend everyone.

LOL-- I bought all day friday... everytime it sunk a bit--- bought some more-- HOPE ain't a strategy-- BUT speeches on Saturday can't be good for the dollar... Probably open ~ where it closed-- consolidation (1.3-1.25)for a few more weeks-- no reason not too...Might even fire up the O'L FAPS...

Just my 2pips...
