a journal after 7-8 yrs trading

closed silver for sml loss, still in AC

last night I went to bed thinking about taking profit @ R61 in the morning and I woke to

and AC up near historical resistance
now off to the news and oil price to try make sense of it

I took these this morning

and this

Did you hold the euraud trade through the retrace on Monday? Closed out last night for juicy few percent.

I got out of the EA sell trades @ 1.5565 on the 12th for 102 to 258 pips
hoping to get back in at 1.59+ for another ride down and I like the positive swap
I'll only be selling the EA as I feel that's the way the market has the most room

just sticking toe in as it may go back to the range to the left
ps already in profit, just wish I'd checked it out this morning

TP hit on EA overnight for another 98 pips
now waiting on the next ride down

EA back up for another sell, holding the rest for their movement to TP (some in the red)

see post on AUDJPY thread
closed CJ for loss
EA finally coming down
AN taken some profit with some positions riding upwards still watching for Aust employment data soon

took range profit on AJ and replaced pendings on the weekly level

see comment on USDJPY
on 1 A/c now only trading AUDNZD
reducing pairs on the others
in red all over the place
just being honest

today I look at the charts and just see the opposite
Aj will place hedge to the lower weekly SL and scale out

some how I rebought higher in AN than I should have
EA still stop smashing higher, could it be returning to 2008 (scaling out on next retracement)
EC same as EA but....
USD JPY is the only one I can't see an immediate reason the reconsider
Davit's method but I must be using it wrong
some times I just feel I have too much in my mind

I WILL GET MY HEAD AROUND THIS
looks like early bfast/coffee with the NZ trade balance on Monday with research over the weekend
had a MM lesson mistake this week
having a mental SL is great if your awake to execute it

on a funny note I had a bitcoin trader walk past today with his 3rd set of indicators in the last 2 weeks (they do well till a loss then he rejigs them)
now he claims it's about to crack up to the upside if it cracks a triangular pattern on the indicator of an indicator
my pending $6300 stands with a solid roof at $11750
that is the only way I'll stick my toe into BTC

step by step, and I still have the same A/cs of 3 years live (2 not refunded)

thankyou for your patience to any readers

been doing so much thinking
esp the AJ chasing the decline
perhaps I just need a time out
although I do like the way UJ is setting up
I really do have to reduce my number of pairs
and I think I'll rejig Davit's Pivot to monthly rather than weekly

it's a funny game much like chess
I just have find my way of doing it, diary next to me with explainations for each position

better start making rules so I can break them

closed EA and AJ and wiped 1/4 of A/c
AN on positive NZ news rose..... WTF must have expected better
rule no 2 the market is irrational as fuck

pepperstone and it's ssri
100% buy AN
100% buy EC
100% buy AJ
100% buy NU
what's the bet they drop

AN down (well below averages, due a retrace)
EC up (between averages)
AJ mixed up atm (below averages)
NU up strongly ( above averages and may push higher)
all averages EMA 8 & 21, 4 hrly
just thinking and typing so they're recorded

I saw the next level with harmonics today
next step to see it for my self
Thankyou to Davit for the intro to them

I've since reversed my AJ position
looking at the charts in a different way

tiny tp on AJ
sidelines with a lower pending
