4/20 Watchlist: Forex

A new bear signal, EUR/GBP, added to the list.

The EUR/CAD bull signal declines with a bear phase shift from Person's Proprietary Signal, and is booted off the island.

It's the last of forex bull signals. A sad occasion. Like when the dodo went extinct.

  • EUR/CAD, analysis. Showing a pps bear signal with a sharp price decline. I'm exiting, and the bear signal was a FAILURE with a loss of 1.5%
Forex currency pairs showing parabolic sar bear signals:
Every last one of the bear signal positions moved up today, with the exception of the new kid: euro-cable. None, however, showed a new bull signal, and the move generally was at or below the high of two days ago. So I'm keeping them open so I can see what happens.

    A note on method: For stocks, I choose among signals, only watching those that meet a set of criteria aimed at  moving the probabilities more in my favor.

    For the 16 forex pairs I follow, I watch all signals, even when the trend is weak and the whipsaws likely.
