You could use NorthFinance Demo account as their feed (daily) closes at 2200gmt which coincides with the NY close. I use them for Forex as Strat said. There may be others; just do some searching on google!

Thanks Alexandra, USDYEN is, as you have mentioned a key driver in many ways. The 2 biggest GDPs in the world with fiscal positions that I would imagine have never been so diverged? The US with huge debts - I read this week that 50% of every dollar ...

So, is the weekly Shooting Star last week off the 50% retrace and .7880 SR zone and 50sma from the monthly a sucker candle? It could offer excellent RR ratio as PA has retraced into last weeks candle and is 80 pips short of the 'pin high'. All ...

Strat, thanks for your thoughts on cad. I don't have 1.1109 on my charts? I'm using the closing prices on the daily, but then I get that level only on 4hr closing prices? I have a level at 1.1150 - I guess in the greater scheme of things we should ...

Unsure on cable today so will be leaving alone - The boss has a shooting star and today has a hammer (of sorts) but $ weakness prevails so one might want to take the dly hammer but risk and reason tell me not too, even though it's with the trend. ...

Here's the audusd boss chart too. 8215 was a big multi year level that she rejected. Body is a little large for a 'nice' Shooting Star but it is within the body of the previous candle and has closed lower than the open. Will she smash back down thru ...

Thanks Strat for the reply; I started out with OHLC bars then switched to candles 2 yrs or so ago. I'll do some f12 charts at the weekend and see which one I'm better at spotting the information on. I'm trying to ditch everything I think I know and ...

Just seen the chart too - very interesting. Like people say though, entries are easy, it's the in-trade management that is hard for people to deal with. There are a few positions on that chart that you'd have had to sit thru 3 day retracements ...

Great post Nic - totally agree. We have to be careful with correlations though as they often change depending on other factors. Strat posted a chart recently showing how two pairs were inversely correlated up to a certain point then one switched and ...

Hi Craig, Sorry I meant to reply last night but Z-A told me to get off the PC!! Oops! I'm not liking the BO on gbpchf as its not been followed through. It just looks 'too obvious' to me. And if its too good to be true it usually is! Like you say ...

Hi Blackeagle - great posts, thanks. It all adds up to having the patience to wait for the BOs, then get in on a re-test. I've been back reading some charts over the weekend and I have found the best and most reliable shooting stars for example, ...

Hi guys, I have a slight issue with this chart; it's the FTSE 100 Fut Chart. As you can see we have entered a period of consolidation and when you flick to a line chart you can clearly see the triangle formation. I'm told these usually occur in ...
