For my Grandson

If you are my Grandson this is for you.

GU GJ trades taken mainly at FO LO times with position sizes big enough to make you sit up and take notice, sadly trading times in our time zone is evening meal, and fancy drink time. Sadly I let these and other issues known to you distract me. I will be getting my act together soon.

This is a demo account with 4 more weeks left to run on it.

screwed up Friday night, was cooking tea, tired, and Thursday move came early and thought Friday was going to be Thursday all over again.......it rarely is any way FOMO took over as I thought I will nail a few grand tonight, I lost $4000.00 no problem, with early entry at Res levels and no stops, stressing over the meal and the rest is history, I was lucky to get it back.

I have a few minutes so looking at how tonight's potential trades could work out, at this stage I would suspect a long entry would be what we will be looking for, the daily is in a down trend meaning the next move is up, when is the question?.
Look at the ATR close to 100 it helps.
Back to the daily there are about 250 trading days to the year, within a margin of 10, 1/2 will be up 1/2 will be down, I have counted, averages are sometimes deceitful, meaning statistically speaking after 1 up or down day the next day is 50/50% the opposite direction the next day after two days in one direction the odds are 25/75 and so on, also a man with one foot in boiling water at 100 Deg and another in ice at 0 Deg should have no issues as his foot temp averages out at a nice warm 50...having said this we are looking to trade reversals, and our interest in price is where it will be in 5 minutes 1 hour, 5 hours....

And GJ same same it often has a tradable move at TO but we are waiting until FO LO

Short taken GJ Asia period TO...just below RN makes it easy for tight stop it needs to break days low, weeks low the months low to do us any good, so far so good ..

Better than I hoped for will look at BE stop soon...

BE stop on it would not be unexpected for it to come back up and retest the days low, or RN and stop me out, will increase TP and watch and have a snooze...

GU also going down here is the USD the counterparty to GU I dont have the JPY DX have closed half the position, not like me but it was an option and trading is about thinking of options before and during the trade as opposed to after....

OK news is helping US 30 year bond yields low..
U.S. 30-Year Yield Drops Below 2% For First Time Since February
From bnnbloomberg.ca

Dont see a sight like this everyday...of course if I had a squark box I would have got the news earlier and maybe not closed out half but no regrets, and no squark box for good reason...

moved stop into positive territory

USDX and USD JPY seem to be stalling, market thin this time of day am looking at closing out this rather fortuitous trade..

was stopped out just above 50 line all good no regrets.. back for FO LO looking for longs?

I am not sure enough to trade it, the stats are for a later reversal 50% early and mid FO LO range 25% each, will wait and see..

it is possible the answer was yes....lets see what happens at top of hour....

Screwed up not taking GJ long was having tea and looked at reversal odds as being later in the LO window without intellectualizing that it been an unusual day and things may not run usually....any way short with a little FOMO...

Not going as well as I would like...stop on and very wishful TP just in case it does run away....will be riding shot gun on it and deal with issues manually...

Burned up mental capital because of FOMO reduced profit and leads to an "exit early "mentality.......

BE stop on but to early, getting the entry right is key, having said that DD's are part of trading...

Bad entry stopped out at BE + a little bit...and bad exit? I could have had $400.00
