Looks like I called the usd/jpy trade a bit premature. A shame as it'd have been a very nice profit. I've got a usd/cad trade on, aiming for 1.0500 today. It'd make me a feel a bit better if it gets anywhere near that.

I missed a huge move in Euro by 10 pips seems to be the flavor of the month for old Pippy

Don't worry, I missed my predictions on the EUR and JPY's today because I was taking a nap!

Just turning out to be that kind of week

I won't say that I "had" my order at 1.38 because it's still there, sticking it's tongue out at me and doing some really obnoxious thumb-twiddling.. GET TO WORK!

banging out for the night, no obvious set-ups. Waiting to sell cable or euro on strength. Asian markets don't seem to be going anywhere at the moment.

Hey Mask/Count/Elitejets,

I don't know if you guys are aware are not, but the Winter Olympics are currently being held in Vancouver. I was scanning through the medal count and can't seem to find the United Kingdom anywhere in the results so I didn't know if you guys maybe got the dates wrong.

I fought the urge to get long of cable just after unemployment. Got long of usd/cad seems only slightly more sensible. Going for 1.05 and then i'll probably TP.

Cut the cad for 20 pips loss, long eur/usd.

Edit: 14:40 (GMT) cut eur/usd took 55 pts on it, should have been long on cable too like I wanted. Another 50 pips in it potentially but i'm happy to take this. Now back up on the day.

WOW.. that 2 man luge is incredibly gay. Sitting on top of another guy is bad enough but the synchronized thrusting at the beginning of the run really puts it over the top.

When reached for comment the captain of the men's figure skating team said, "2-man luge? no, we're gay, but we're not THAT gay."

I would sell Euro at 1.367 with a tight stop .. I think we're getting close to the time when 1.353 cracks and we slide off into the abyss..
