I haven't posted any of my trades this week but here are the ones I took today. This week has been nothing but churn and burn for me. I think I lost around 60 pips on Monday and about 170 yesterday. At work during my off time I'm going back and so far have calculated about 8 weeks of trades and only had two weeks where the end result was negative pips.

Imbiber, I understand what you're saying about this week, although I'm close to breakeven.

By the way, in looking at your trades, I noticed that you are selling about as many as you are buying of all your JPY and the USD crosses - I think selling 5 and buying 5 - something like that. Won't they just about cancel each other out?

Quoting trader101
On a Tuesday night like this (actually considered wed by most broker server) the rollover day. It is the day when the the currency gravitates to a higher interest rate one. meaning GBPjpy will normally go Long. That goes for its friends and colleagues. Sometimes the Uchf comes with it. If the cpairs has a postive swap then it normally will go long. Negative swap will go short. Well not all the time but most of the time. But i ntoice that after collecting the swap at wed(5:00 NY time) they tend to reverse the direction. What i normally do is leave collect my pips at 4:45 before getiing the swap. Some call me nuts, but i just like it that way. Leave before everyone else leaves.

funny, i took a smaller-than-normal position....
and it turned out to be my best position EVER.

800 pips in less than 24 hours.
my aussie long call last night also worked like a charm.

enjoying this a lot.

i will close a bit of this position : for example g/u , that's enough for now.
but aussie, for some reason, still looks like it wants to give some more.

Hi CJ

Titan,
i'm glad i gave you some pips there.
look at the 4H Chart.

it says " stay in there " ... still giving some more pips....
you can secure half of the pips (either with a stop, or just closing half your position ).....

Imbiber, I understand what you're saying about this week, although I'm close to breakeven.
With the trades last night I'm now back at break even for the week.

Yeah yesterday gave me some grief, USD/JPY gave me a mixed signal so I guessed long but my crystal balls were saying down for gbp/jpy and up for eur/jpy. As of right now even with the mixed signals on the yen crosses I'm posistive 60 pips. I would prefer them to all line up but I have to take what I'm given.

Thanks

I won't know for another 45 minutes but my crystal balls are showing all long on the yen crosses, still showing a sell on gbp/usd though, showing a sell on eur/aud too, selling the usd/chf and gbp/chf, long nzd/usd.
