@Chloe, I do believe I posted the 61.8% cluster level if you look back far enough and then I alerted today that it was trying to break through. Well it failed !!! Perfectly good short play there LOL. The cluster level was at 5926/36. Kindly withdraw your "damn u daveo". I try to help and now look what I get :-)

My methodology facilitates trading any timeframe. I once rolled over a gold trade for 11 months which I would class a position trade. Swing trading I tend to view as 2 day to 8 day plays. Daytrading for me can be anything from scalping boring action on the 3 min timeframe to multi hour positions rolling overnight when appropriate--- 15 min to 60 min timeframe charts. I don't see how any particuar timeframe can be deemed a loser, its a question of methodology and disciplines.

i don;t want to day trade but with all the day/day volitility i find it too risky to look far out an try to decide were markets will go in 6mth-yr.but when i do look further out i see a usd rally(for next 2q) therfore i rather short these majors gbp eur aud an long usdcad.but i must admitt im gettn better at putting the pairs in strength-weakness an @ the moment cad is strongest with gbp folowed by aud-eur.an with the help of the more experince tech traders im making some good moves lately:)

i don't think day trading is a good strategie... I think is better to scalp the market (few pips seeker like all fx spot traders) or take long term positions based on fundamentals...day trading is only a retail brokers creation

i look @ the recent move it makes an once it hits a strong resistance level i think its a great opper to short or long a pair.too risky trying to take a long veiw on most pairs with the volitility out there.i rather try for 50-100pip daily . last night i covered my audusd short@9870 entered 9945(75pips)now i look for somthing that offers me the same move.an 15950 is @ th highend of the recent move an once it broke 15880 resestance onto 15930 the 20pip over shoot to me was a great oppertunity to short now trading @15920:) gl today

I really don't know why you want to short cable all the time... there is no objective reasons... take long position with low leverage and hold it long term
