Ok, that's good to know that you are safe....and also safe from the neighbour!! I have experienced earthquakes when I went to Chile a few years back, is very scary.

I'm sticking to my plan to make sure that I secure my goal of 20 pips and not get greedy, so I moved SL to +20. Any more pips is a bonus

So Mr Market ate my SL at +20, and I am ok with that. I have my +20 for the day and this is good. To get the goal is my priority and if I can stick to that, I am going to be just fine by Christmas

Price still hasn't got to what was my TP in the yellow circle, so I am happy that I stuck to my plan

Now is coffee time

Well, didn't UJ make a nice drop during Uncle Frankie session? I saw it go but I was on a phone call from work so I couldn't do anything about it. Is ok though, there will be other chances coming up. UJ can over-react so easily to news events!!

GU ate my SL, so no win but no loss. PA is erratic just now, so is best for me to be safe. This is M5 chart as it is easier to see

I closed this for -4 loss. I'm still not 100% after this cold that I have, so I will sleep now as I have to work tomorrow. I hope to back to 100% next week and carry on gathering pips

Hello

My cold is nearly better but was a tough day at work, and an early start in the morning! I will see if Mr Market has any pips for me though.

I notice that UJ has done well since market open today, and when I look at USDX chart, I can see why. But USDX is at a level where it may find resistance, and also there seems to be a gap from market open, but trading gaps isn't part of plan really. Soooooo, I would like to see UJ pull back before I could enter a Buy, which might happen if USDX pulls back, and that might also let GU re-test the 1.2100 line.

That all sounds cool, but I will have to trade things as I see them. Right now is coffee for Indiara, and tea for Bella

I have a Buy on UJ in accordance to the trend of the day

Perhaps USDX will carry on up to help UJ?

Because I want to follow my goal as I say in Post #1, I manually closed this at +22. I want the goal and no need for greedy!

This is M5 chart as it is easier to see. I closed to get my goal as I said, but also as price is hesitating and I don't want it to go an eat my +22

I brought SL to protect the trade as I don't want to give back any of my UJ pips from earlier trade! SO trade is free now, I will go and get coffee

EDIT: SL just got eaten so no win and no loss, but todays profit is safe

Here is a suggestion.
I use this chart to assist me with getting into and out of trades.
The indicators are:
DEMA 9 period Close or Median, dark green
EMA 9 period low, median and high white
EMA 48 close or median blue
Laguerre Filter and RSI default yellow
RSI default purple
ICorrel8 default
Worked really well today on both GU and UJ.
White ribbon horizontal, stay out, consider getting out.
DEMA crossing Laguerre with strong slope get in as appropriate
Typically in the 1 min, if the 5 or 15 min suggests something very different, I might defer to them.
Just a thought, I typically trade in the direction of the trend
