I would also suggest using http://www.meetpips.com. I made great use of it when I was demoing before going live. Maybe that will help you keep to your trading plan?

Also, if you're looking for volatility, I'd suggest G/J, E/J, C/J, GBP/CHF or GBP/AUD. The last one is my personal favorite. And lastly, considering holding it for long term. Why make 20-50pips when 400-800 pips are so much nicer? It reduces the chance of over-trading!

Another tip, if you're system is quite mechanical, why not put in the trade with a pre-determined stop-loss and hit the sack? Prevents over-trading and emotional issues. Nothing like waking up to the market going WAY in your direction.
