what type of volume and spread is typical?

Hi bobarian,

Spread is 3 pips. For the volume, I don't know really. I'd say not much, if 60 % is EUR/USD, also other majors take great part, and volume on this crosses isn't big, but they follow main markets, as they're correlated.

I was debating also with trading such strange pairs like EURGBP or GBPAUD, CHFJPY ... but sometimes I can spot something I don't really see on majors.

Thanks for reading,

Cheers,

ivan

Stopped out from EURGBP short.

Don't have any new trade, only trade ideas if MACD changes polarity.

AUDUSD is hoovering around 800 SMA on 4h chart. Will see if it's going to rebounce from that.

EURJPY hit it's 800 SMA also. Long trades when divergence occur or MACD turnes positive.

GBPCHF is 2 standard deviation south from 800 SMA. It's also overextended, broken it's daily S3. Also no trades at the moment, but looking for longs (short covering rally).

Best regards,

ivan

Nothing from reversals I've posted, yet.... market is just one way street. Sorry for people of Japan, situation is just getting worse, I hope we'll hear some good news soon.

I've taken 2 trades,

First is GBPUSD long @ 1.59984, SL 1.59400 (58 pips), TP 1.62000 (202 pips)

GBPUSD is resting on 4h longer term support line, I think it will hold it.

After stopping out, I've entered again on EURGBP short, @ 0.86696, SL 0.87150 (45 pips), TP 0.85800 (90 pips).

This is my regular trading setup. We'll see this time.

Hi my trader friends,

I'd like to thank Big Mike and Robert for reading me, and lefting thanks's.

I'm stopped out on EURGBP, but GBPUSD is +100 at the moment, hopefully it will continue up. I'm thinking of that I've put my profit target too high, at 1,62, but cannot change it until I get home from work, what will be for another 8 hours...

Technically, it's above previous highs, and shouldn't put my TP there, but around 1,6170 somewhere. As market is too volatile I'm avoiding yen pairs this week...

Good luck all,

best regards,

Hi my trader friends!

I'm looking to buy AUDUSD, there is a slight divergence on MACD and break of unsustainable downtrend. Targeting area between 50-100 SMA.

Exact entry I'll post when I come home and open trading station.

Other two are potential setups, but no entry at the moment. Just to have them in mind.

GBPUSD long position closed +135 pips. It stopped between 50-100 SMA on 4h chart, seems like forming a flag (on 1h TF can be seen better), but I've decided to exit. Initial TP was 200 pips, which was quite far away.

We'll see if I made a good call.

EURUSD is mainly driven by Japan and Lybia issue. To me it looks like trend exhaustion. I would be selling if it breaks the black trendline.

EURJPY is going sideways for quite some time. I would be looking for a buy, on the breakout of black line, @ 116. Otherwise, sell when continuation of the movement can be seen.

GBPUSD looks to me like in a second phase of the uptrend. Quite strong, too bad I haven't held it till the end but closed it early.

EURCHF is in downtrend. Don't know what smart can I say, on daily chart...but wait to see end of that triangle.

EURGBP seems strong, it's in third phase of the uptrend. Exhaustion could be comming.

AUDUSD broke the third and the second uptrend phase, correction to the first is inevitable. We could see it @ 0,9550 before continuation of the trend.

That's my daily analysis. Standard 4h chart setup for entries will be comming!
