Keep posting stuff like this i really like it.
I have been searching for weeks trying to get my hands on the latest trading software, I finally found a great website full of information.
Great post this will really help me.
Forex trading really changed my life, although I must admit I really battled to get my head around some of the concepts, once I got going for real I have been doing really well.
The GBPUSD has squeezed higher to test the 38.2% retracement and th 100 bar MA on the 5 minute chart. A move above targets the 1.6182 level where the 200 day MA is found. This is key resistance. On the downside, the move above the 1.6144 level now makes that level the support level to get through for the sellers up here. We will be watching that level on the downside.
