Tonight I've entered a long order on EUR/USD, which, if hit before midnight tomorrow, will be my last trade of 2008.  It's been a very rough December for me, but I hope to end it on a high note.

Let's take a look at this setup...

The Euro's been in an uptrend on the daily chart for all of December.  After hitting a high on December 17, the pair retraced back to the rising trendline, and now, on the 4 hour chart, we see a symmetrical triangle has formed.  I've placed long orders at 1.4165 - if the pair breaks out of the top of the triangle and resumes the uptrend, my orders will be filled and I'll jump on board.

• Long Entry: 1.4165
• Initial Stoploss: 1.3985

Edit 12/31/08 7:23 AM:  This morning I woke up to find that the pair broke out - but to the downside.  So my long orders weren't hit, and likely won't be hit today.
