The weekly oscillator for the Swiss was still basically pointing down although somewhat flat. The daily oscillator had corrected to overbought. Prices made a lower high and a lower tow. I called in an order to sell a breakout of the low at 6443. The next day was an inside day so I left my order in place and was filled the following day as prices dropped and closed at the tow. I placed a stop at breakeven. Two days later prices dropped again, so ! moved my stop to the high of the preceding day. Next, prices made an inside day, so I moved my stop to just above the high of the inside day, where it came within one tick of being hit. I didnt like what 1 was seeing so 1 left my stop where it had been and atso placed stop where the market had last closed, t did this as "order cancels order." Either way had a profit locked in unless prices made an enormous gap up at the open. Instead ttiey moved a bit lower, but I was out of the trade on the open having made a bit more profit than f would have had prices moved up.

The Swiss Franc made a new low at 6321, Three days later there was a low at 6320, and the high that day was 6375. I connected the two lows which could be the bottom of a ledge. Three days later a high (where the vertical cursor is) was made at 6374. I now had two lows that were one tick apart and two highs that were one tick apart. I drew a line across the two highs. I now had a bona fide ledge. I placed a sell stop at 6319 and a buy stop at 6376. With two previous tight little days, it looked like something might explode. The next day the explosion came. Prices gapped up and I was filled at 6409, just below the open. My stop was below the low of the same day since I expect to be in these trades a short time. On short trades like this in the currencies, I try to scalp 20 points and then get out. There would be time to get back in later on if this was truly a trend change, i put a profit stop at 6429 and was filled and out the next day. My profit stop canceled my protective stop. When scalping, I exit more quickly than otherwise, and am willing to risk less.

The weekly oscillator had gone flat. The daily oscillator was of no help in going long because it didnt make a true 1-2-3 breakout. The #3 point was lower than the #1 point.
