Wow, the 4 hour nzd/usd coming out is a solid bearish pin bar in no man's land. I'm going to be shorting it for sure. The eur/cad got stopped out, and the cad/jpy trades are going good still at the moment and I've moved my stoploss to B/E.

Those eur/usd and gbp/usd trades were easy and still are. Now, I'm just waiting to see how the monthly gbp/usd ends up as to whether I hold or not.

The eur/chf is sitting pretty as well if it closes as a bullish pin.

I may as well add the same for the usd/jpy. I'm possibly closing out those cad/jpy trades in order to put more emphasis on these two. Chances are I will see more money coming out of them than the cad/jpy, so that's where I'll put it.

I've just closed out the cad/jpy trades for a gain to focus on these eur/chf and usd/jpy trades for the moment. I only saw the cad/jpy moving against my position in the short term, whereas there seems to be more opportunity for profit on these trades.

Hey Roger, and thanks man! How's it goin? My 4 hour bar just closed at 12 o' clock, although I do monitor another charting package that will close at 1. For the one closing then, Your right on that! I see it coming as well! I think Usd/jpy will push it right on up to get there now too. I would be cautious though, because the bottom of that range will now be resistance- and a pretty strong one at that IMO!

Just thought that it might help you make some more vacation money if it works out. Cautious I need to be more of. Pips have been coming easy as of late and then BAM!!! GJ robbed me blind during a work meeting this morning. No revenge trading here though. I'll just stay the course and get there! Good to have you back!

I know what you mean, I've been there! That's it too, don't revenge trade as it'll rob more from you. That's how you know your setting yourself up to being a professional trader. Awesome! Thanks for the kind words too, it's good to get back to work actually lol

Hey Matt, thanks for the post and the chart! That's what I'm thinking too after that breakout is that momentum will, more than likely, pick up to the downside after a test of the bottom of that congestion area. Good to hear from you man, and thanks for the kind words!

Well, I can say I'm glad I closed out the cad/jpy trades in favor of the others now lol I'm looking to see some solid bars at these fat out areas now on just about all pairs.

BTW, I also just entered a nzd/usd short based on that bearish pin with a "feeler" postion which was small. I will add more to the position on the break of the pin to put more emphasis on it.

Thanks GNAT! Saw that one as well. No more GJ for me until I KNOW where it is headed. Looks like GJ was one of those "dangerous things" that you speak of. I took one hell of a loser on it today.

Wow, I just dumped my bike because of wet grass lol If anybody else rides, you know how it goes. That made me feel pretty wierd, considering I didn't have a helmet on and no protection. Everything's cool but that makes you think pretty deeply when stuff like that happens. The stuff that matters aren't material like motorcycles, but stuff you can't get back like your head. lol Have a good night. PS, just added to the usd/jpy.

If I get wet grass, I know right away as it is very difficult to lite. Oh, and I don't go riding my bike afterwards.

These two trades are going good at the moment and I'll be adding again at the end of the day today. Have a good one everybody!
