This pair start to make a bearish movement after uptrend was completed at 1.5144 from 1.3748 level. Bearish momentum is now in favor but this is not a confirmation of a downtrend. Breakout can be seen on daily chart, which break the bullish tunnel to go down. Bull is losing control, and the bear is now back in control.

3. Avira Antivirus - This is free, but quality is not bad. Upgrade to pro version is even better. But, I don't have enough money yet to go for a better one. This is cool for me.
4. Mozilla Firefox - This is my fav browser for a maximum browsing experience.
5. Adobe Acrobat Reader - Need this to read Portable Document Format (PDF) file.
6. Meta Trader 4 - It's good to make this trading platform available just in case the market is going GOOD. I'm just a retail forex trader and this can help to make some extra money.
