Trade Update - EUR/GBP Short CLOSED

Update 03-25-08 1pm:
As its happened before, I managed to close this pair at the absolute top for a loss. Had I stuck on, I would be close to break even now. The signal is still valid for this pair.

I need to learn to STICK TO THE SIGNAL.

Update 03-25-08 7am:

Yes another loser. And this is getting worse. It looked like the signal for this pair has turned. So I closed out this pair.

Total Pips: -120 (30 * 3)
Total Loss: $173.10

The Trade:

Contrary to my previous trade of this pair, I am going short this pair.

System:
This is based on the OzFX system on daily charts.

Reason:
On the technical side, the indicators lined up correctly. Price is thinking of moving down, while the AC and the AO are showing red. RSI, Stoch and %R are moving down.

Also considering my previous trade of this pair was to go long, and I was stopped out since the price moved down, I think its worth a chance to try the short side.


Rating:
I would give this trade a 2.5 star due to the following reasons:

  • This pair has already had a significant move to the downside, and further downside move might be limited.
  • The price is above the 200 SMA, so its against the long term trend.
  • The markets are closed tomorrow, and hence low volume might result in greater volatility.
  • I just got stopped out of this pair. It might be prudent to wait longer before entering again.
