EUR/USD 15m trendline breakout

Stopped out BE

No trades yet, wait and see

Finding the market hard to read today. Regardless, I have a buy in from 1.3925

And out BE

Took a 10 pip loss trying to buy that area

I have to accept that this is Friday and just accept it and come back on Monday

Now the 1h TL is broken it's looking like a selling market. Frustrating day!

I managed to claw back 40 ish pips on the retrace, closed at 0.382 fib.

Gotta say- kicking myself after correctly having a short bias, identifying the FOMC move as a run on liquidity, but failing today to execute this plan. Lesson learned, I still managed to close the day and week with a profit, but it was a bumpy ride. I exit my losing positions very quickly to limit the damage.

For next week we have a clear structure in place with a broken TL and M pattern, of which we're in the retrace leg. It can reach the red zone or broken TL on 1hr then I expect drop to 1.37

But you never know, maybe this was a run on the stops on the buy side

Tomorrow, I want to see how price reacts on cable if we reach the circled area. My bias is sell.

Levels to watch on dxy

Short GU already. May be false break, but dxy filled its gap

OUT BE

Short from higher up

And out BE.. looking more like a breakout up but it's not for me

Sold here, locked in at BE, TP open

+45

Euro had the cleaner trades today, short, long, short again. Didn't take them

I had a pretty good day, +55 in total. I took an extra +10 on cable as a scalp on the 0.62 retrace

There was an obvious long trade on cable that would have yielded 30-40 pips but for whatever reason I left it. I always feel less confident and more nervous in the markets on a Monday after the weekend- no idea why !

i'm short GU

pivot/0.618 retrace

Despite stating in advance to everyone it was gonna mark down today, I for some reason decided only to take 20 pips... annoying

I then took only 20 pips on the retrace (first Be, then second TPd quite early)

However, I'm proud of myself in the sense that i waited for confirmation on the retrace instead of blindly buying. TL break then return to 1min demand. Worked well. Time was I would blindly buy on a pivot or demand zone.

Here we had ADR and 1h demand to watch for the turnaround, we actually surpassed S3 which gave the initial bump.

So 40 pip day, I am losing my mojo

Reviewing it, I should have easily surpassed 100 today

Short on this setup

Thinking of my quick TPs this week, I recently increased my lot size so this may be it, not used to the numbers

Stop at BE

Just took +15

Bought here in EUR, 10 pip SL.

JP & JY were speaking, but i was listening and it was pretty routine and inconsequential

OF course, as soon as I executed, JP started talking about tapering asset purchases and DXY pumped briefly.. ! nearly got stopped

Now hovering around entry

Stopped -10.. Taking a trade around red news, never again

No words needed

waiting for momentum shift first

Have a buy going from 1.36876, SL BE already

Stopped BE then went in my favour

I may not have any more opps this morning. The setups are not there

Bought here on EU, channel, 5m demand and s1.

Nothing remarkable today, bunch of BE trades

Have the upper area in mind for a GU short

Fruitless day sadly, Euro out at BE after going 25 pips in my favour, thought there would be a deeper pullback

Red zone was shortable, I guess I could have handled things better rather than over focusing on longs and considering both sides

Interesting how some days can be 100 pip monster days then days of nothing- there were some actually pretty good setups here but just was a bit off with entries, stops, TPs- all the fine tuning stuff that can be pretty difficult in these conditions

2 buys stopped out BE, being a bit too overcautious and not letting trades breathe (an old problem I had). Need to be more aware of the games they play!

Nevermind, anything worth doing takes effort and is never gonna be plain sailing
