My god, I expected to make them back but not this fast
Infact, it's moving too fast for my appetite. Closing right now for a net +50.

Closed Trades
============
B GBPJPY @ 233.00 TP (U) SL(U) closed @ 234 for +104


Quoting Plutonite
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.


Closed Trades
=============
S GBPJPY @ 232.55 TP 230.73 SL(U) -50

New Trades
=============
B GBPJPY @ 233.00 TP (U) SL(U)

All positions now closed. No change in profit since last post, the GU trade finished slightly negative because the market bounced back down to B/E, so I lost the spread. Now waiting for GU H4 candle to close strongly bearish in order to go short again. Oh boy.

Closed due to unpromising action. GJ making a nice top. Still a risky trade.

Hey Pluto

Great totals for September

I've just taken 30 pips from GBPJPY on short trades from the 234.50 area. Is currently sitting just below 234.15 which provided good resistance for much of today. Let's see if we can break 234.00 for a nice ride down - mind you we both know this is a crazy pair lol.

Kind Regards

Holy cow, if luck's gonna turn my way like this every time you post here stevie, I'd freaking pay you. I'm so happy I'm closing the trade now, although for people who have not been as lucky as myself this is a good trade to keep open for at least 8 hours. A GBPUSD short would be nice, too.

Allright I'm restless, and this is as good a setup as any. Price action bearish on GU after rejecting a high, also dropping heavy due to japanese data and USD indifference. I guess the dollar is so low in people's eyes nobody is shorting that anymore. Like kicking a dead horse. So they short GJ instead.

So here we go again:

New Trade

S GBPUSD @ 2.0240 TP(U) SL(U)

I'm in this one too. I agree that the dollar's not getting shorted much, people are very cautious at these lows. I see you came out ahead with G/U & G/J yest....good decision reversing, wish I would've..lol

Anyway nice journal and great job this month.

Hello guys.. GU trade was closed on B/E early morning, the inexplicable buying robbed us of 30 pips or so, but there was no way around it. I don't like friday trades, but the first thing to do sunday afternoon is to place a short if the PA agrees. This would be a partly bollinger trade.

Have a great weekend.

Welcome back all,

It's finally starting to look this way now. Possible short entry on GU with a hopeful ~260 pip target within 48 hours. SL would be very tight if I was taking this.

I am not, because I am already long UJ a few hours back. I have not posted this trade and so will not include it in my october tally. Good luck.

Oh well, should have taken it. Now it would be 74+ after only 8 hours. *sigh*. Just documenting my sadness at seeing a perfectly easy trade go by.

Still, news this week could leave room to target the 1.9900 area or even below, so maybe I should quit b!tchin

Allright, first trades for October on the way. Tomorrow's news should not deter us from these positions, unless it is unexpectedly bad, in which case we will jump ships. But for now:

New Trades
==========
S GBPUSD @ 2.0425 TP(U) SL(U)
B USDCAD @ 0.9931 TP 1.0045 SL (U)

Good luck.

Or place the stops, rather

Both trades in the green, neither of them should be allowed to reverse on us should the market explode as per usual on Tuesday. Putting SL on slightly above break even:

Open Trades
=========
S GBPUSD @ 2.0425, TP(U) SL 2.0415, currently +40
B USDCAD @ 0.9931, TP 1.0045 SL 0.9920, currently +36

Good luck.

PS: There was also an opportunity to short EURUSD along with the GU trade, but it's a bull stampede on that chart. Just look at it. Scary, at best. Still room for more downwards pressure according to fibonacci, if you're a Euro fan.

The USDCAD is facing technical difficulties due to usd starting to drop a little on all charts. USDCHF may even be a good short right now. Anyway:


Closed Trades
==========
B USDCAD @ 0.9931, TP 1.0045 SL 0.9920, closed +54
S GBPUSD @ 2.0425, TP(U) SL 2.0415, currently +20

Total this session: +74

---No Open Trades.
---September Total: +74 pips

EDIT: it's October total lol. Still sleepy

You're right, I meant to say 236 but subtracted 1 from 235 instead of adding. Good lord. Fully awake now
