Wise move I feel...it has hit first trouble area and reversed...need to remind myself sometimes that these are counter-trend trades and thus need to cut quickly if they dont work..had quite a few of them this week, want to try and play some more trends ... peaks / valleys etc.

Closed AU @ 0.9338...USD strengthening across the boards and AU broke it's 1HR TL.

Went short EU earlier @ 1.3648 and just added another one @ 1.3605 and have a pending order to add another one @ 1.3564 - target - closing of the gap.

SL on first @ BE SL (originally @ 1.3685) SL on second 1.3648 (2% risked on first , 1% on second).

Wish I was awake earlier to short aj,eg,cj and long uc.

Short G/CHF @ 1.6330, SL @ 1.6370, 2%

E/A and E/C have taken off south ...decided to remove TP on EC and see if we can break through the gap/support level, I'll give it a bit of space and move SL 's down.

Taken short GU @ 1.6330 - 2% SL @ 1.6370

Looking to go long UC above 0.9997, short CJ below 93.02, GJ @ 143.35, EJ...about now!, AJ @ 86.75

Have you tried Oanda...I prefer them over any MT4 I've ever used anyday...exact lot size, better spreads on average, less slippage and easier to get filled from my own epxerience...they dont have as many pairs as MT4 to trade and their charts suck, but for an actual trading platform for a retail platform I find them much better than MT4 brokers.
Tx for your reply.
One more question. Which broker do you use to trade oil, gold etc. FxPro ?
Any issue with them so far.

Exited EUR/CAD @ 1.3569...it hit the gap / support and is showing signs of retracing.

TAG now @ 172.96% (a new high woohoo! - Reached 160% briefly on sunday/monday when took profit on EU longs before realising losses from friday xxx/USD shorts).

Will not be trading tomorrow, need a break and some exercise (easy to burn muscle and put on fat when sitting on my arse for most of the day!) so will look through trades (I trade off 3 different brokers so record all trades in an excell spreadsheet) and produce some stats so I can can constructively critiscise later.

fxPro or Oanda...no problems with them so far.

Oanda is easier to get more precise lot sizes (I am rubbish at working out correct lot size for amount @ risk of available equity quickly - I need to use a calculator like Oanda has)...although I am looking to try out spreadbetting gold and oil at IG Index (it's a UK thing - the biggest advantage is that any gains or not subject to capital gains tax compared to using a forex broker!).

Big thumbs up for you. 170% in 2 weeks is really something.

I'm going to do that sometime in the future.

You traded the plan, and that's a good thing.

I went short yesterday on that little EURAUD daily pin but got out too quickly (got scared after the fast retrace off FTA @ 1.4570). Didn't stick to the plan (gap fill) and that's a no-no. Another entry in the journal to review at the end of the week.
