AUDUSD: - No Trade
GBPJPY: +20
GBPUSD: +20
EURUSD: +20
USDCHF: +20

Increased positioning on the GBPJPY because of consolidation I saw during the box.

Some time adjustments (1.30-3.30) today would have avoided a loss on EUR/USD.

Good 20+ pips on USD/CHF and USD/JPY.

A question nomo...

If you were to adjust the timeframe on a pair and you are trading several pairs in the session, would you adjust the timeframe on each pair that you are considering trading?

Good question Trade sense.

I don't adjust time on the box. I know there will be losses. It's part of the game. I work with probabilities. Actually, as a matter of fact this is a game of probabilities. I don't avoid losing. I minimize risk.

I prefer to work 1 pair at the time. I found out that trading may pairs at once is not worth it (a rule not to be followed, my personal choice). I have more control on money management using just 1 pair. Less stressful.

hope it helps.

Here are my results so far for this session:

USDCHF: +23
EURUSD: +44 (Once I got to +20 PIPs I put in a trailing stop: Nomo obviously did a better job on this trade than me.)
AUDUSD: +70 (Trade ongoing SL moved to +20) This was a 1:1 trade, my best trade so far

I'll provide my entries, SLs, and TPs if it will help....

OK.

Trade outside the box - not the first time. (check my previous charts).

I used a 1:1 R/R - 60 pips stop-loss - 60 pips profit target.

Money management/load adjusted.

Well, if you notice the move was way outside the box.

It's more like a judgment call than anything else.

20 pips unbalanced are good when you can trade close to the box. Even so you can still go 1:1. Not a hard and fast rule.

My point is to prove you can get 20 pips consistently.

hope it helps.

AUD +70
Entry 0.7991
SL 0.8061 (70 PIPs)
TP .07921

EURUSD +44.5
Entry 1.4146
SL 1.4184 (38 PIPs)
TP 1.4101

USDCHF +23.5
Entry 1.1117
SL 1.1091 (26 PIPs)
TP 1.1140

I moved my SL to breakeven after reaching 20 PIPs on all of these trades.

Hope this helps. I would post my charts, but I think that Nomo's are easier to follow than my FXCM charts.

Hi RRoths

I could see a trade in EURUSD, Buy @ 1.4166 which is trigger at 0940 GMT. This hits the stoploss @ 1.4142 - 1045 GMT. Could you share with me why you don't take this trade?

Thanks.
