A sell stop below 1.353 in Euro looks promising

Trading's been a joke for me lately

I've been in and out of things over the last 2 days and hasn't been doing me great. Been getting long of usd/cad and taking 10 pts of a 50pt move yesterday. Then today I got in about 20 mins before data. I felt like chancing it as I was already down for the day after messing around with ninja longs and cable. I got out of cad near day's high and then it jumped another 70 - that kind of hurt. I managed to nick something on a cable long before it plummeted. Tough day out there.

Considering a ninja long but I might not bother on such a day - it's hard to see there's much momentum in it.

Well I took a ninja long at 90.22 only half size, it went ugly and I bought more at 90.00. Got out for a few pips loss overall. Not going to bother with that any more. Got to up my trading game now i'm trying to do 4 day weeks.

I got smacked twice on ninja today to the tune of -55 pips

a break has occured.. I would not buy again til lower.

if it pops a little higher I might actually sell ninja

yep.. I'm short ninjy 90.15 stop 90.4

but I might as well not use a stop since I'm planning on killing myself if this doesn't work

I'm still alive!!

banking 25 on ninja and taking back half of yesterday's irritating losses

It's been a crazy day for me. I don't recall how many trades i've been in. Long ninja, long cad for a few pips and nicked a little chunk off euro after data then bought some more after the greece comment came out. Think i'll stop there for the day, not too disappointed with the result and the market seems largely random for now.

I'm considering an EJ long near the month's lows down at 125.56

also tempted by long ej, just need to wait for a dip

I'm long EU 1.352 stop at 1.348

After a 1% rally I wouldn't be surprised to see Euro try for 1.36 within 12 hours or so

unless some Greek schmuck runs his mouth about the Nazis

my ej trade went all wrong, off to place my faith in a bottle of red and the Canadian ice hockey team against russia

Our men's team wiped the smile off of those chocolate eating Swiss chumps earlier today.. Our women's team will easily win gold. They beat Russia 13 - 0 and Sweden 9 - 1

My love Julia Mancuso didn't do very well and started crying like a little girl.. but I noticed that it didn't affect her fine ass one bit..

what happened, do you have an article link?

All I keep reading is that "Japanese exporters provided the initial trigger for the fall.." and "The euro's drop later gained steam on stop-loss orders, as well as yen-buying by hedge funds and Japanese retail margin traders"

and todays credit rating talk...

Oh, and howdy...its been a while

I'm back in Euro 1.3455 stop 1.339

it's true but now's not the time

I'm bored of these markets so far. I've clearly been trading the wrong ones and not on cad where there's been some good moves. Took a pip or 2 on a few trades earlier buying euro. Bought ninja and took a handful there. Waste of time really. Hope economic releases make things a bit more lively.
