Short-Term Trades

Long USD/CAD @ 1.1474
Long EUR/AUD @ 1.6284
Long EUR/CHF @ 1.6345

Nothing really has changed for me on the Long-term side of things. Yen, my USD/JPY signals weren't quite where I like them to go short, so I'm still going long! I hope we can both win on this one.

Good luck,

Kevin

Closed out EUR/CHF trade for a 2 pip loss, am going to most likely try to enter short in a little bit.

Edit:

I'm thinking too much... Back in Long EUR/CHF at 1.6350

I will post my exit prices within this quote. GBP/USD is the only exited trade thus far. May see some more exits within an hour or 2.

Well, I'm fixing to pass out here. I do think it was rather likely to have more success than I show here, but I'm not a fan of "zombie mode" at work, which I have bright and early tomorrow. Not a bad night, by any means.

Well then,

I am once again getting tired. I've decided to settle for 20 pips(My goal). Market looks as though it may be waning a bit anyway. Within the quote are my exit prices.

During the day tomorrow, I do not have to work, and it should be a good opportunity to try to put in a "work day" as far as trading goes.

Nice job K! I know you aren't trading GJ for a while. What's your hunch on the news and the results? It tested 236 for a little while. Think it'll break?

I don't know about breaking 236, but it could be going back up to that area in a while. I may enter long if it happens soon, but I would expect 3-4 hours.

Meanwhile, I am Long GBP/CHF @ 2.4081.

Good luck,

Well, finally a long term entry has sprouted for me to take. I am still Short GBP/JPY and my Long USD/JPY trade has issued a signal for me to sell instead, so I have taken my 8 pips and entered short. I am starting to get the feeling that JPY is going to rally due the coincidence of signals.

Long GBP/USD @ 1.9826
S/L = 1.9662
T/P = ?

This trade makes me nervous, as we are very near heavy resistance on the Daily charts. However, my system is telling me to take it, so rest assured I will take it.

Short USD/JPY @ 118.81
S/L = 119.80
T/P = 118.27

Current Long-Term Trades:

Short GBP/JPY @ 234.05 = -158 pips and 2 above


Still have that "short-term" trade Long GBP/CHF from earlier; talk about a sideways market zzzzzzzzz. I still am under the presumption that it is going up however. Depending on how tired I get, I will cash out soon(ish).

Beyond GBP/CHF, I do not forsee any more short-term trades happening.

Best of luck,

Kevin

EDIT: GBP/CHF Short-term trade exited for 1 pip. Getting tired of babysitting this flat trade, and am off to bed now!

Mate, take a break and join us for our movie outing tomorrow evening and let the trading week be as it may. Like I told you, longer time frames are beautiful for stress reduction and sleepy time. Beyond that, best of luck to you in your trading endeavours with the GBP/JPY, a very tempremental mistress.

GBP/JPY is a tricky beast indeed. And I would love to go see a movie, but I've got a big test I've got to take tomorrow(Saturday). Must study! Maybe Saturday night or something..



Well then, it's always nice to make extremely easy pips. My short USD/JPY trade hit its T/P whilst I slept, and rebounded soon after, which makes me even more happy.

Liquidate USD/JPY @ 118.27 = 54 pips

This is my first winner on my $2000 account started April 1st, although I have been earning interest for quite some time. The balance of my account is now $2062.57, but this could always change for better or worse.


Best of luck,

Kevin

So my Long-term GBP/JPY trade is about 7 pips from its S/L which is going to equal a hefty 300 pip loss or 5%ish. I would consider it a miracle if price went down to help my cause, but no worries; I'm cool with losing during this month.

We are almost at our happy time part of the year(ACCORDING TO BACKTESTS), and I have to say, I'm quite excited for it. I would say the week following April 20th close is going to be the beginning of some very good trades. I have done a very speculative result analysis; if I were to put $2000 into my system at the beginning of April(which I have done), by the end of February the next year, it would be $169,593.24. Whether or not this will actually happen is a task I am certainly willing to find out!

Also, my short-term trading seems to be going well. I have created a blend of TEB's multi-timeframe trading and Spudfyre's stochastic analysis that seems to be working nicely for me. On my days off, I will always strive to make at least 20 pips a day consistently. If I can do this for the majority of 20 or so full trading days, I will contemplate quitting my job, and start forex trading part-time with school. This would be a huge step for me. Considering I only make $9/hour at a camping store, it shouldn't be too hard to match up the incomes, if not exceed it. This would probably be within the course of a month or two.

Regards,

Kevin

Liquidate GBP/JPY @ 236.86 = -381 pips

I think something went wrong with my broker data... or I entered my S/L in wrong. I should have lost 300, but lost 381. Ohh well.. I've gotten to the point where I'm ok with losing if it means I will win later for being disciplined.

Long USD/JPY @ 119.64
S/L = 118.45
T/P = ?

$2000 account started April 1st:
Now worth: $1932.65

Good luck,

Thanks man, I hope so, too

It looks like I've caught a big one(Long GBP/USD), and for my Long USD/JPY trade I am getting a "White signal" for a short, that is more important than my "blue signal". I will just have to take my loss. Since the price is so close to the SMA, it is not worth the risk for me to take this trade; I will stay out of USD/JPY because I think the price is confused at the moment.

Liquidate Long USD/JPY @ 118.526 = -111 pips

Current Account Balance since (April 1st $2000) = $1839.91

I think I may be done with my drawdown, and my account stands damaged, but markets are beginning to trend more.

Attached is my current trade for GBP/USD using BB on Steroids. Edit: upload files isn't working. GBP/USD Long up 254 pips.

Kevin

was good for 65 pippos ;-)

nobody should go long on this and other yen pairs except for short term punts like this one. Not while we are seeing lower highs. This is a quite measured move down on the usd.jpy, no panic selling

Greetings Kevin. Got those dual BBs up on the dailies and i'm studying them, LT trading is ultimately my goal (well making big$$ is my long term goal. hehe. don't care how it happens as long as it's legal). On the Job thingy? Camping store? Sounds fun. Do you live in a local that has a Costco Wholesale? I've been working for them for many years (stepped down from management to trade FX). They welcome students and you might be able to ask to work the early stocking shift from 5am to 10am or the evening shift from 4/9 or 5/10pm...it's fun money at their starting pay of $11 an hour. Just a thought. I pulled rank and work weekends and Mon/Tue nite's from 4pm to 10 pm so i've got plenty of fun time for me/myFamily/myTrading. You can go to their website (www.costco.com) and look up the locations and even fill out an employment app online.

Back to the charts, could you enlighten me on the "Happy Time of the year" part of your backtesting and what you believe it may indicate?

Jedi, I hear you on "the GBP/JPY, a very tempremental mistress." I either Luv her or Hate her...in all i've made more positive pips than negative ones, but closing out a trade that cost me 2% of one of my accounts did sting a bit on the downward move this week. But i'll trade another day : )

Cheers,
Thom
