Well said DaveO regarding Ignore..... going back to the Forexnews days, he has always traded these 2 pairs together (/$ & $/Chf) AND at the same time, varying the lots & exposure on each as the technical picture develops (a fact nissed/ignored by some).

Regarding the EU bank stress test, I believe that the results will be out at 5pm UK time today, although expect leaks before that lol

Hey Sub, anyone else in here from Forexnews of old apart from you, ignore, nor, digi?

I would think that Ignore uses stops as the only people who don't are those with a 100% winning trades ratio (they don't exist) or those with one or more blown accounts (they exist).
I was only saying that from the time of his posting, a long trade from 4445 was time-consistent and, at least as far as i'm concerned, putting one's stop at b/e while 30 pips in profit on a long euro trade after the market had quite clearly called the bluff on Trichet's strongly vigilant' words, was a sensible idea.
So the guy had his stop taken for 0 pip! So what? b/e and losing trades are just part of trading: I look at them as the cost of being able to trade, no more no less.
I had a look back on previous postings of his and he has been long for a while, seemingly capturing a fair chunk of the move up from 41xx.
I obviously misunderstood your "eurusd WAS AT 4330 AROUND 6.30PM" but I still don't see the relevance of it; anyone looking at an /$ chart could have told you that! As for the 'contrarian' indicator, i would say that all those calling for 1.40 over the last 3 weeks have been the contrarian/wrong ones.
