Closed now (9 hours later, not too long) because I'm feeling lucky so far this month and don't want to ruin the ride. Meanwhile, check out the monster pinbar forming on GBPUSD after the bounce from 161.8 fib. Quite remarkable, eh. Can enter there later. Anyway:

Upon lengthy consideration and consulting of the galactic formations and the whispering stars, I have decided to actually put a value on the USDCAD TP level, to everybody's great joy I'm sure. The magic number is:

1.0185

Will be very funny if it reverses now.

PS: It's just a fib level and a sensible target. I was kidding about the galaxies, in case you're not sure. After all, Gann followers believe in them, so nothing's too crazy for traders it seems

Afternoon, folks. Trades were closed a while before the news to avoid nasty spread, news turned the tables on us, now we reopen only the USDCAD, with another new trade.

Finally going the right way. Another trade to compliment - although this one a little risky given directionless nature of cable right now. Here goes:

Didn't go anywhere at all with that, closing now (4 hours later) due to disgusting price action on the GBPUSD. I have faith in the dollar against yen, but the GU actions are truly crazy if you compare H4 and daily. In fact, looking at daily you see a hammer followed by shooting star, or somecrap. That's 2 OPPOSING pin bars!! Oh well.

Oh great. As soon as I open it goes the other way. Prepare to abort GU trade, will lose 20-30 pips here. Oh noes.

False alarm. Please go back to your seats, there is no reason to leave the bus right now. Everything is going back to normal. Have a nice day(or evening, rather).

And we toil into the night. Time to clean up some of the winners, even though I think we are not maximizing on the opportunity here. I still stand by 1.0185 for USDCAD, but...

..and we close the GU trade as well with decent pippage, because US news is prolly gonna suck. I swear I don't usually place or close orders this fast, it's just this wonderful volatility we have been blessed with. Unbelievable.

Well, I said they were risky didn't I. Closed the GJ and doing a stop/reverse move to try and regain the 50 pip loss.

Ok, things happening very fast here, GBPUSD was also closed out -40 on the close of the previous H4 bar but again a stop/reverse similar to the GJ trade above has put me +25 pips or something after all that. Both trades are still open now. Updates later, no time for pretty table!
