I entered a short on EUR / USD @ 1.4350 as outlined in earlier post. I was also going to enter a short on NZD / USD bit it broke the resistance line so went long instead! However, I closed out the NZD long for a very small profit as I didn't feel comfortable having 10% of bank subject to USD exposure (and in opposite directions) when I wouldn't be able to monitor the price for a major part of the day.


Price has been kept within tight ranges today due to US Bank Holiday.
