Trade #7 update:

The reverse long at 1.9632 has reached the 1st target at 1.9682 where 50% is taken off for +50

Stop is being moved to 1.9645 for the 2nd half
Trade #7 update

I am going to close the 2nd half of this trade at 1.9695 (if it goes back up) and I am also moving my stop up to 1.9660. (whatever happens first)

It looks to me that price will go up around 1.9700 and then back down below 1.9660 to form some sort of a correction on this move up.

NFP never dissapoints. I am flat at the moment but, I am looking to go short. I think that we have one more low to make. If not today then Sunday during asian session.

YOur trading has been quite inspiring.

What chart time frames do you use to determine support and resistance, bar patterns etc.? Thanks for any advice.

Hi Traderone,

Thanks for stopping by. I mainly use 15 min and 1 hour charts to determine S/R zones for my intraday trades. I also look at 4H, daily and weekly but not as much. That may not be the answer you are looking for and I apologize if that is the case. I guess what I am getting at is that through my 6 years of trading forex I have learned that I trade better by looking at different time frames and not staying focused on 1 time frame and 1 particular method.

No, that's helpful. Thanks for sharing. I'm enjoying your journal and reading your thought processes.

The avg for that trade was +73 (+50 and +96).

Trade #10
I am looking to go long. Thinking we may get a spike down for news and will look to buy then. I might try a long in the 1.9600 -1.9610 area with a stop around 1.9570

LOL, that happened pretty fast. 50% was taken off at 1.9625 for +20.
Stop remains at BE for the 2nd half. If stopped will remain flat until after interest rate announcement most likely.
