The Ultimate B.S Journal

Price testing my metal...
What the hell. You only live once.

Entered again.

GU: STO @ 1.9840 - SL 1.9899 - Target(s): Same as first entry.

GJ: STO @ 196.63 - SL 197.25 - Target potentials
Red @ 195.96
Amber @ 195.31
Green @ 194.82

Overly optimistic? Maybe... Probably actually

Shweet.
Nice sudden jerk down.
Moving this one to BE me thinks

So it now stands as:
GJ: STO @ 196.63 - SL 196.63 - Target potentials
Red @ 195.96
Amber @ 195.31
Green @ 194.82

Protecting this on as well.
STO @ 1.9865 - SL 1.9865

GU seems to be a bit in love with the 1.9840 - 1.9812 tight little range for now.
Over all view is still DOWN

Just in case anybody else is actually reading this...

Firstly, don't take what I say in here as "trade advice". I'm out of that business, this is not what I'm doing.

Secondly, there is no magical system here. Experience and discretion are my only tools. And Fibs obviously / DMI {adx whatever}

Thirdly, no I'm not crazy, although it may seem so at times. This is how I process my thoughts. I can type pretty much as fast as I think, so it's no big deal for me to jab a load of BS out on the keyboard as I always have done in my "off-board" journo.
I just do it here now. Granted it is a lot harder here. My actual/original journal is setup in a MySQL database, so that helps to re-visit it based on any search criteria I chose, making it easier to sift through my ramblings when I need to learn from a losing, or winning trade.

So while this may seem like a jumbled mess, there is value in it for me, which is all that matters at the end of the day. Sorry.

Yes, my fibs are pretty static and only move occasionally. I like it that way. To me, there are way too many people pulling fibs in way too many different ways. Swings, waves, etc. etc. I don't really have the time or inclination to F-about with them. I set 'em my way, and price either respects them or not. I'll assume that risk.

No, I don't care that they are not "to the pip" as many like to see them. Or "valid" for a particular Hi/Low swing. That's a load of bull imvho.

I actually like the fact that price often slices right through them. And then returns, or doesn't. Price action like that all means something to ME.
Plus "you draw enough of em, price is likely to hit one of them" right

It works for me. Just thought I'd clear that up.
Good Trading To All !

Can't really be arsed to wait for GU to do anything.
It's starting to push 22:00 here, and I've had a killer day as it is.

GU Closed:
STO @ 1.9840 - SL 1.9899 - BTC @ 1.9840
STO @ 1.9840 - SL 1.9899 - BTC @ 1.9840
STO @ 1.9865 - SL 1.9865 - BTC @ 1.9840

2x BE
1x 25-pips

At least no losses today, PROTECT PRECIOUS CAPITAL
and with this mornings +50 and quick scalp for +69 earlier, made out OK for today.

GJ:
STO @ 196.63 - SL 196.23 - Targeting 193.81 now
Stop will probably get hit during Asia session {although, it's moving down more as I type this, I'll stick one last chart current in just for record...}, but will have bagged +40, and the earlier +129.

All in all
Good few hours of trading.
Night-night

Got hit just before Asia open actually . Bagged +40 though.

This "pip-tallying" nonsense is a bit cumbersome. Think I'll stick to my usual monetary-return or %-return for my own records rather. Never was a pip-monger.

Anybody following this will just have to total them up themselves based of my entry/exit prices. {Sorry Dan!:}


Another day in the stands for me. May be just as well, today could potentially "act like a Friday" taking Easter into consideration.
Let's have a quick look at some prices and see where we stand this morning.

Edit: Nowhere really on current prices.
GU: Back at my old friend 1.9812 and "hovering". Retail sales out later, and not forecasted to be a positive number. Will wait and watch for now. There's no denying the downward bias though. Will more than likely only look for shorts if any.
GJ: Also pretty "quiet". Asian markets closed. Wait and watch. Overall bias is also down.

GJ retracing.
May be setting me up for a short off resistance around 197.7x if it gets that high. {May get cheeky and take 197.5x area, keeping position small and stop tight}

^^
Hhhmmm, better than expected retail sales figure...

Limits filled though, as follows

GU: STO @ 1.9812 - SL 1.9865 - Target open
GJ: STO @ 197.53 - SL 198.63 - Target open
GJ: Second limit just filled @ 197.76 - SL 198.89 - Target open

Was that a good idea?

Quick check on price shows it wasn't such a bad idea after all.

GJ: Looking nice and healthy considering the market condition. Stops pulled in to BE on one and +23 on the other, as I have to vacate the premises and hit the road in a mo.
STO @ 197.53 - SL 197.53 - Target open
STO @ 197.76 - SL 197.53 - Target open

GU: Well, what can I say. Still milling around the same area where I entered. Will check on it soon as I'm home.
STO @ 1.9812 - SL 1.9865 - Target open

Never got back in front of the charts at all yesterday. So these played out as could be expected.
GJ:
STO @ 197.53 - SL 197.53 - Break Even
STO @ 197.76 - SL 197.53 - Profit

GU:
STO @ 1.9812 - SL 1.9865 - Loss

Have to bloody work again today of all days.
Why is it called "Good" Friday again?
