Just took a dibs trade on the euro after taking a trade based on the hourly a few hours ago to close the gap up. I'm just staying in them now.

The two dibs trades taken last night ended up in a very small loss although it would have been bigger if I hadn't already had a trade in on the euro. If I would have stuck it out through the morning, I would have made a decent sized profit. Rule- Don't go to sleep before 10 as the moves sometimes happen around 8 or so.

By the look of the daily g/u, it looks like it is playing out perfectly so far. I think we will see the 1.96's tomorrow only to be brought back up from that area. I have buy orders there to hold for a while.

Hi Mike,

Did you get in that gu trade? I got in @ 1.9520 with a stop @ 1.9450 first target is 100 pips north, I may let the rest ride. I will also add if price goes to 1.9500...

I hope all is well with you. Talk to you later....

Hey Infinity, how's it goin man? Yeah I got in and added to the position at 1.9545 after the initial trades got triggered. I'm actually surprised that it's come down this far which is great for the entry price! I'm at just about the same stop as you are too, because of that trendline. I'm holding for a good deal more than 100 pips however. My initial targets are in the 2.xx's and I will set this trade to break even when we are back towards the upper 1.96's.

I hope all your trades are goin great and everything's good with you bro!

Most definitely man. The first pin from three days ago started to show us the weakening upmove and now this is defining it. How about you? I think it will play out nicely for a longer term trade.

Just look to the bottom of the daily range for a target to start and see how it reacts there. To me, .9800 is looking solid for a target.
Just scope out where you see price having stalled and reversed- then put a horizontal line there and voila my man!

The eur/jpy breakout of the IB will tell me if I am going to close out my positions or not on it. If it breaks to the upside, I will hold them out.
Gbp/usd positions are at solid buying opps IMO with a small risk involved for the reward issued. Stop loss is at 1.9430.

The eur/jpy broke to the upside, and right now I'm waiting for an hourly dibs setup to take place on the gbp/usd. I'm thinking it will move to the upside as buying kicks in, but who knows. I'll just trade what it tells me.

Everything is good so far Mike. That gu trade is going really well... I opened another position at 9500 and closed both of them at 9615. I then reopened a position at 9580 and closed at 9650... Basically scalping now because of that bad news last night. These market conditions lately have made me very conservative with my trading as things are changing quickly. Anyway....Good luck to you my friend....

Good stuff bro! It's looking like a good trade to me man!

On another note, all the other trades are going good too and I plan to add to my longer term eur/jpy here if the 4 hour closes bullish. Other than that, my euro, gbp/usd, usd/chf, and usd/cad trades are all going great! Most of their targets are yet undiclosed other than the usd/cad which I have targets at 1.000 for.

I'm adding to my long eur/jpy position now on the close of the 4 hour. The daily IB broke out to the upside as well so I'm looking to see that play out nicely.
