Thank you.

BTW I've been short
EUR/USD since 1.36768
GBP/JPY since 148.901
EUR/GBP since 0.9020

Now, you may ask, why didn't I say it then?
Because you guys would have made fun of me that's why.
And if you did, I'd probably back down and close them out early.
gbp jpy was a gud short . i also wanted to short but cant trade so many pairs at a time . euro gbp was a breakout to the downside . euro usd ! i would had suggested to wait . euro gbp 1 pip is greater than 1 pip of euro usd .

good job for such a great confidence . and have self confidence dont believe what others are saying .. u might want to exit gbp jpy in a few minutes from now . lol i am going to sleep now bye folks

and u want to short so much . then write "live short and die ". lol jux kidding ....

You're just mad because I dared to short your beloved Euro.
I will close out GBP/JPY unless I see EUR/GBP reversing upwards.
I helps any trade regarding EUR or GBP to monitor where they are and what is expected between them.

You have an Ego problem?
I said you're are totally and hopelessly in love with the Euro. And I am sure that you make more money when the Euro is rising than when it is dropping, because you try to avoid shorting it and probably pass up trades that you would have made if it were the other way around.

By the way, I'd close out GBPJPY, as JPY appears to have reached a near term bottom (cup forming). Not much downside today. Or move the trailing stoploss nearby and if it recovers you are guaranteed of your profits.

I hope someone made 250 pips on my EURJPY pick. Too bad that %$%#$%#@ killed my stoploss before reversing (routine event!)

If EUR/GBP doesn't reverse upwards, I'll close it. If it doesn't reverse, though at this moment it looks like it is, I will put in a tight SL.

I am a bit surprised to see 1,3640 again after switching on my laptop. I really expected some sort of correction, but its holding up pretty well.
The only thing I see and read is about folks wanna sell at 1,3740, but I wonder how many stops there are beyond that point. The trend is up, and fighting it can be costly.

Fiber on charts

the charts are bit vague..
On the north side immediate resis is 3730-40, above that it seems like smooth sailing to 3950 as i couldnot spot anything decent in b/w.

Down under, since the supp of 3550-70 and then should be a fall to atleast a 3350 region...
