Thanks matey

Short this morning from 1.42427 stopped out in short order for a 1% loss.

However, still holding the long from 1.4235 and looking promising so far. As I use a broker based in the UK its no problem holding a longer term position one way and a shorter term position the other.

Kind Regards
Steve

Went long at London open at 1.42964 and just closed at 1.43251 for 28.7 pips (1.15%).

Still holding long from last Wednesday at 1.42350 & as long as we don't break today's low will be moving stop loss into profit at 1.42777.

Hi Stevie,
I am also taking some of these, but am much more discretionary. I am at home most days, so I move my stop when in profit and wanting to keep it that way.
Today I took it, but didn't like the action at 8am so waited until I saw signs of a reversal. Got +32 pips, so not a bad day's work.

Ian

P.S.You got more than me last week though - I was too cautious.

Hi Ian,

Yes, my issue is that most days I'm working so the 'method' attempts to work around that.

Any positive day is good in my book - well done

Well the daily long from 1.42350 was duly stopped out this morning at 1.42777 but a profitable trade nontheless.

London open we'd seen a push down the previous 2 hours and I went long at 1.42655. With stop loss just 25 pips below I needed 4250 to hold and at the time of writing we are at 1.4330 area, the last hourly bar pushing through important 1.4310 zone.

Barring a reversal during the US session things are looking good - be back in 5 hours or so....

Congratulations it is looking like a good week for you already! I chickened out today. It seemed to me that the 90 pip down movement just before 8 might have been London getting in early rather than a Frankfurt move.
Being around during the day give me more time to worry myself out of taking trades.

England regain the Ashes and Steve on a roll ? Business is picking up around here

Not that an Irishman like myself knows much about Cricket .

Although I remember when the Irish team was doing good in the 2007 World Cup (Well good for us that is) People in pubs talking about Cricket and kids playing it in the parks and streets lol. It's amazing how quickly a relatively unplayed sport can become popular when a national team gets a good run.

Hey Ian!

Thanks mate - yes been a good end to last week & beginning of this.

Looking forward to September where we should see some bigger moves as the big boys return from their summer break.

Kind Regards

Hey Jig!

Good to see you pop in - yes Steve's world has had a turn for the better the last week hehe

My youngest is very much like that at the moment - any sporting event on he will re-create (normally in the front room lol), commentating on himself as he runs around the house haha. Come to think of it I was exactly the same at his age lol.

Good trading to you

Kind Regards
Steve

OK, so after breaking the lows yesterday, my daily trade was taken last night with a short at 1.42975, stop loss above yesterday's high at 1.43655.

The London open trade is long from 1.43115, stop loss 1.42865.

Hopefully, whichever way we go it will push through and provide me with one profitable trade - the last thing I want is another messy rangey day that could well take out both positions lol.

Let's see how the day develops.....

Long trade stopped out for 1%.

Short daily trade now up nearly 1% so looking for a nice tank over the next few days.

Hi Stevie,
I managed to grab 13.4 pips from the long today - in hindsight i gave it too much room to breathe.
Am now in 2 separate shorts on E/U - one Jacko that I am still in (but he closes out when it briefly hit 1.4210), and one of my weekly FS style trades.
So i say more power to your E/U short!

Good to see you grab some more pips today Ian!

I'll be moving stop loss on that short to just above today's high so would like to see sub 1.42 tomorrow to lock some in

Be back at London open to set the new trade.

7am to 8am E/u rose, so I went short at 8 again. I now have 3 open shorts on E/U. Rather a lot of risk on a single currency pair (by my standards).

Yup Ian I'm short from 1.42567 too - s/l 1.42817.

Daily short from 1.42975 also still on with s/l at 1.43537.

Would be handy to see a big move down today eh?!

Hmm, go out for an hour & back to a 130 pip bar out of nowhere!

The daily short was stopped out so today not so great.

Predictable, I got stopped out of all of my short E/u trades. 3 separate methods all saying short and bang, up it goes!

So far I like this London reversal method, even though I am only at + 1.6% . The PA around that time (09:00GMT) is very interesting.

Yesterday short @1.4256.6 tightened stop, stopped out for -15
Today long @ 1.4337.8 got nervous (+ Jacko is short) out for +18.6
