Re: U.S.$ Index/Breaking Out/Lee

Qcharts is live and continuous. If you want commodities live without being delayed 10 minutes you have to pay the exchange on each. I trade ETFs and stocks so have live charts in most everything else. Qhcharts cost about $160 per month for U.S. and Canadian live quotes with delayed commodity quotes. I also subscribe to Stockcharts for about $25 per month as they do have some interesting indicators and lots of educational material and scans one can use or custom create. EC is not the best market to trend either way. Just too many other currencies especially DX to interfere with the trends. It's like having a basket of mixed fruit instead a basket of oranges or apples. There are better trending markets in all time frames than EC. But with DX breaking out EC should continue its long term and medium term trend and trade down short term as well now. We'll see. As long as DX holds above the breakout pt it should continue to work its way up to a double top of 81.50. But you are trading intraday with 1 and 2 minute charts so those trends mentioned may not help much. But it does always give you the edge when trading in the larger time frame's direction even with intraday charts.
