Hey guys, just posted a preview of London. Breaks discussed have started..... I need to work on my timing on getting the video out.
I just realized a major mistake I had reading the EURCHF chart. I was only reading the last 2 digits, and didn't realize that it had moved 300 pips! Just goes to show you that I haven't been getting enough sleep as of late.

The EUR and CHF moves had really slow PA. Made a slight break, but I think the weight of the GBP is pulling them both down with it.

Hey Dad like the reviews of the market before opening you did, the most obvious one to me was GU up against the daily pivot though it went south as opposed to the expected north. I missed the start of it though.....a bit tougher getting out of bed with the GF back . Think you has a slight issue with the sound today. Keep up the good work if your sleep pattern allows Chuck!

Hey Links,

I'm sorry you are having difficulties sleeping! That is a terrible reason not to get any sleep!

I took the Cable on a break of 1.6430. I got in at 24. Moved my stop to .6374. I usually take the 100 pips when I can get it, don't know why I didn't. Looks like my deviation from my normal trade plan will cost me 50 pips.

If you are referring to sound trouble on the Tokyo vid. After I was done recording, I realized I had not pulled the mic down in front of my mouth, but rather it was still on top on my headset, pointing toward the ceiling. Rookie mistake! LOL!

Good to hear from you Links!

Oh, I forgot to say that one of the reasons I took the Short on the Cable is listening to Bloomberg. I love keeping it on while I trade, because they are really good about commenting on currencies. More so than any other US Financial Channel. The negative comments about the GBP is what dominated the currency reports.

I got lucky, thought it was going to retrace and take out my stop at .6374. I just closed at .6315. Now I can go to bed with a smile on my face.

No time to make a video today before Tokyo. Just thought I'd point out tight ranges on Cable, EURUSD and USDCHF. GBPJPY looks like it is setting up into a consoidation squeeze around the 157 area.
I'll check back in later.

PA is weak on the GBPJPY. Good moves on the range breaks for the EURUSD and GBPUSD. Opportunity to clear 30-40 pips.

Sorry Guys, on the phone. See a consolidation on the JPYUSD. That's about all I see for the normal setups. PA is really choppy on all the other pairs.

Sorry Des,

Was still on the phone. Old friend I haven't spoken to in ages.

This is how I'm seeing your Kiwi. Consolidation has already happened and now it looks like it is looking for a bottom, or might settle into a range. I'll admit, haven't kept up on the fundies for the Kiwi as of late.

Looking at the 1h, I see more support at 6404. But, that's my eyes. I know you watch this pair and the Aud, more than I do. Maybe watch for Support at 96, and then if there is a break, watch for PA to hold and place a tight stop just abot 6400

By the time I read your post and answered, it had already broke your consolidation lines. Did you take it? Hope you did, cuz it's moving down.

I like this better on the 4H chart, just because the Kiwi doesn't move as much as other pairs. The spike through the bottom blue line was a news event I believe, but it corrected, and then some. Not a pair I trade much, especially with my setups. With the smaller daily range, my setups are inclined for a 10-20 pip scalp. Tends to move more in the Asian Sessions

CHF is trading in a tight range, 30 pips. The Swiss KOF Economic Barometer news release is out later today. Probably why the action is slow. An early break could mean there was a leak of the info, but it doesn't happen as much as it seems to do with the GBP,

Hey Icarus! Was thinking about hitting the course today, but didn't come to pass...... I was going to take a short on the GBPJPY on a break belwo 158, but missed it, as I'm trying to catch up on emails and such. Falling behind with friends and family. I did OK this week.

Hope you have agood weekend! See you Monday!
