Overbought/Oversold

Assuming that the medium term trend is down it's preferable to try short positions when the Detrended Oscillator goes above the zero level (current prices) or gets into the overbought area (35-50 pips above the current prices), or hits a Fib resistance at 1.0656 (.382 retracement).
