My not-very-deeply-studied predictions: Energy prices down but implication of lower costs will mean energy equities and equities as a whole will not drop as far.

I suppose they must be subscribers to "the gap always closes" theory... my humble perspective is that gaps which form as a result of low liquidity generally do close, however the gap formed over April 22-23 weekend is really no gap at all... without ...

Curious if you considered the positive correlation between Aussie and Gold and see a reason for divergence, or if your analysis for each asset is separate? (AUS major Gold producing country... #2 in 2016) url

Shutting down this journal for now. Unfortunately have found maintaining it to be less helpful than a private trade log.

Thanks for further feedback, and agreed. My entries can improved, but they are not the weakest link in my trading. I had some more trades on Friday, 1 winner and 3 losers, I'm going to renege on my OP and not post them, because what is there to ...

UJ up the last 9 Tokyo opens in a row, at least 8 pips with very little downside. EDIT: (1/2)^9 = 1/512 (ignoring possibility for sideways market) 1/512 not that statistically unlikely of an event, and in the context of a 450 pip up move even less ...

+3.7 UCad Buy Double bullish engulfing bottom got me in long. This pair has been making multiple 30 pip moves up and down for the last couple days, but the bigger picture was the huge 500 pip rise over the last 3 weeks. I closed rather quickly ...

-12 trying to short UJ below 112.5.... should have been just -2.5 if I had followed the plan and closed my trade when the signal was broken. Instead I took a reverse position, then another short, and ended up losing money on all 3....Embarrassed to ...

url Charts here show somewhat declining volatility for the last 6 years. Among the USD pairs, EU, GU, AU, NU, UChf, all down trend in volatility. UJ, UCad seem steady. No statistical analysis, just eyeballing it, looks like increasing variance. ...

UJ BUY @ 112.961 for +2.5 PIPS average Sold a third at the start of the 3rd M1 as it flashed a few tenths of red, gold ticked up, and Nikkei ticked down. Sold the rest when we got close to 113 and price hesitated, I didn't want to be one of the ...

Don't trade it but I watch it cause the UJ correlation. Agreed that a reversal could be due, sideways to bearish in UJ and equities for the rest of the week is my prediction. But lets see, UJ breaking 113 and/or SP500 breaking 2400 could catalyze ...

EJ BUY @ 123.110 for +1.3 PIPS Closed this earlier than I should have by the system, but was a bit tilted from the previous trade and wanted to get a win to improve my mental state. If I had lost this trade would have needed to walk away for a few ...

UJ BUY @ 112.783 for -4.6 PIPS Should not have taken this. UJ is basically flat this session, maybe a weak bear trend. Even so there was a 1 pip profit available in the first minute, and I should have had a scalping mindset due to the sideways ...

First trade of the May 4 session. EJ SELL @ 122.646 for +1.4 PIPS average Closed a third in the first minute at previous low, another third a few minutes later again near the low, the last third at BE, as EU had ticked up off the London open along ...

AU SELL @ 0.74281 for -0.9 PIPS Should not have taken this one. I was only semi-paying attention and the sudden spike drew me in. Too late in the day, and volatility has died off across markets. AU has already had a good range for the day of 120 ...

If I were a position trader I would not be going long from here after the 450+ pip rise over the last month. But tough to say IMHO, lots of uncertainty across the investing world. I think a Macron win in France is already priced in, on the off ...
