This pair is a two-sided sword. Of all JPY crosses, I trade only GBPJPY and EURJPY. At least in my trading method, due to its greater volatility, the profits GBPJPY can make are higher, but for the same reason, the stop-loss I use is almost twice as ...

geppy is "ugly" when ?

Very interesting, thanks. Why emphasis on the months? It's because you report to your clients on a monthly basis? Or just a convenient time slicing? Or (as it sometimes seems to me) the market takes a new breath in the beginning of each month?

Hi Igrok, glad you're back. Could you please ellaborate, if possible, on your money management principles. I remember you saying somewhere some time ago that you never risk, initially, more than 1-1.5% of your capital on a single position. Is this ...

During the last months, all pairs are strongly correlated at the intraday/intraweek level, with the majority of correlation coefficients in the .50's-.80's. USDCHF is the only exception. USDCAD vs. EURJPY is not an exception. Why? I'd like to know, ...

Cable didn't want to retrace. So now the sky is the limit.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

2.0315 has been the third touch of a slanted resistance line, previously touched on December 4, 2006 and April 18, 2007. If cable wants to retrace, bouncing from this line would be for it the right thing to do, and then go to the support line ...

Brus, if you look back in this thread, you will see several examples of real-time template discussions. And, if I may suggest my view, it's not a question of whether Igrok can trade his templates, but whether YOU can do that. Can you identify them? ...

I meant a situation like today: touching the upper border of the Cable downtrend channel that started on May the 1st. Not that I was 100% sure of this scenario: I was stopped out of two short positions today on the way here... Anyway, I'm short now ...

Hmm. On one hand, I'm glad to find out I chart the cable the same way you do. On the other, your ability to spot diamonds in the mud is still beyond my imagination.

But there's still room for it to touch 1.9900 within the next couple of days, isn't there?
