I would say that I (we) are trading 10.4/10.5 system with the system rules. I don't care if the pair I trade is jpy/chf/aud/nzd.

In last 3 months or so 10.4/10.5 has proven that it is money machine (or your own ATM Machine like well known pirate said about his sytem).

The main advantage of this system is that you have rules to enter and exit the trade. You don't have to decide if the trade is good/bad/etc. System shows you good trade itself.
I agree with you Sponn, I do not look at which pairs I'm selling or buying, it's not in the 10.4 rules and in fact as you have mentioned quite the opposite. 10.4 will tell you to buy one currency pair on one chart and to sell it on another. I have found that trying to analyse the trades it gives me is counter productive so I no longer bother.
If 10.4 says sell then I sell without any further analysis or hesitation because quite simply it is far more accurate than I am when I think about what trades it is giving me.

BTW, Kuroda is the EMPEROR, not the DRAGON. That title belongs to Draghi, the one who does the blah blah blah :D

@fx8000
Thanks.

@kwanann
It was just that he didn't add anything new that made it go down.

@other qouting the post.
All I am saying is that trading that (Kuroda saying nothing new) is risky against a strong fundamental, but as long as people are jusing jump stops it is fine, but if SL is still around 240MA then it is very far away when the big guys have loaded their longs.

Correct. Equity as opposed to Balance.

OK, I sold the Geppy for a bargain at the 153.80 and put a tight stop above 1.5438.

Sunday night I bought GBP/CAD at the 1.5812 mark with my stop below the 1.5732 mark.

I also sold the EUR/CAD at 1.3464 with stop below 1.3400 area.

I also sold the USD/CHF at .9348 with stop behind the .9470 mark.

All doing fine and pulled profit off of G/C and E/C
