My general feeling is they will eventually break those highs but dont know when. USD/JPY, chf/jpy and eur/jpy I expect to be soon. Since Euro bad news can happen at any time I would play tighter SL with those pairs but euro happy news will send it soaring. Any way that is where I will be looking.

I closed out Friday and took a break from trading. I spent some time working on replacing the AO but stuck on the idea I had. Maybe it wont work as great as i thought. Anyway I will take a look later. USD/CHF looks like a nice trade to me.

Change the bars to a small number. For example the SLOPE indi used for the RSI2 you can set that to 10 and that will use less ram. The CSS I have set for 40 now so it uses less RAM. The same with the pivot indis set them for the last 40 bars and you will use less RAM. I have to do that to my computer here at school because it only has 1 RAM and that works on it. Maybe later today I will post a minimum RAM usage set up.

Sunday bargains: Kiwi was a great buy at open although it was below the 240 slightly. Common sense told me it was a bargain because I could hang my stop at below last weeks low with a paltry 15 pip stop, ( You can still get in with a 30 pip stop )...LOL If the stop hits.....it hits.... still a great bargain. Another bargain is G/U which is sitting just above the 240, you can get away with a 25 pip stop here....Again, this is my interpretation of Bobs 10-4 using my prior knowledge of 7 years in this market. I recommend you follow his rules.

The big boys ish have to disclose their trades for the week, on a Tuesday.

The commercials are the main people.

They might be the major players but you must remember that they are futures trading. That means that they are prepared to take a position today, then sit tight for along time.

This time is unknown.

From memory, they are massively net short on EURCAD for many weeks( long before the BOJ event). But the recent daily events have put the COT commercial traders on the back burner.

Yes, they will eventually get their way but the speculators will control PA on a daily basis., through either announcements and/or technicals.

Don't rely on COT to be the crystal ball.

10.4 is a better method on transferring pips from your broker to you.

(For the records... they are net long on gold and oil)
