{quote} My fault, got caught up with price and emotional whipsaw on GOLD, you know, when you get the direction right, but market has other ideas? {image}Last few weeks of the year, should know better.

{quote} gold moves are confusing nowadays ...But EREBUS can handle gold well
Kicking my azz again today, and no way to avoid this on GBPNZD - no idea why GBP got strong while NZD the weakest 
Daily range almost in those 4 candles, check the 4-H candle, gee whiz.
Just hold the open positions for now, might get lucky with AUD yet.

{quote} Good Ole Range Breakout strategy for a weekly as a range. Various Range Breakouts is all I trade these days, nothing better with proper MM and control of the MindFuck(Fear and Greed). "4. Stop Loss at recent swing point. Calculate position size according risk plan and stop loss distance." Recent swing point on the lower TF, as an example on previous 1 Hour Swing?
Early break this week, letting it go for now, at least for the 1st 4-hour candle, it's had 2 good weeks move already, AUD news on Tuesday, where AUD strength goes, NZD is sure to follow.
Take Care

Also, experimenting with MT5, easy to see after an Inside Week, the 2 breakouts followed.

Took a few little hits but keeping it positive, currently flogging the JPY like a rented mule, TP's are set for weekly range so hang on!
I use this to track open positions and overall account.
Any questions about trades, check the TE or ask me.

I'm late to the party with GBPJPY, as GBP was weak but gaining now, entry is on Monday high breakout.
All positions at breakeven +5 so pretty well protected, sure hope US doesn't turn it all around.
So far, was the right move!

{quote} nice trade
Except when I got seduced by gold, making some trades last week, it's been working great.

Update: it's never going to easy, near the daily range, but I'm shooting for weekly, and then BoJ Ueda speaks up...

As it turns out, that was the usual dip about 6 am New York, fake me out yet again!
I wasn't in the CHFJPY but basically this chart shows the 2-hours stop hunt, damn!
And it's only Wednesday starting.

This is the kind of bullcrap trend traders have to put up mid-week, where to by Friday?
