closing all positions +83 pips .. not going to push it.

trying a quick scalp on cable long 1.4684 s/l -20

16 is good on that cable scalp.. closed..

howdy Count.. I was right.. beer fixed the choppiness and these poor little currencies fell right into my lap. Looking at an EJ long soon enough.. Seems like there's a battle between the Japanese who are aware of the situation and the Chinese who have shut down their financial system to celebrate "Dragon Boat Day" for two days [snicker] ..

Good trading Pip, that's an impressive tally for a nights work! I've been staring at the AUDUSD charts like a rabbit in the headlights (reeling after a short from 8655 (stop -15) from last night that got taken out after being 55 pips up I'm not bitter!)

I hear ya on the technique to smooth out the chop :-)
I also just bailed on a short of 27pip on the EJ and plan to take the next leg down also after the 1-min pulls up a bit and signals one more time before calling it a night.

Aussie murdered me for 55 pips Monday.. I was up 132 on my JPY trades last night.. I woke up to smoke a cigarette, checked my trades around 3:30AM, giggled thinking a breakout was imminent, moved stop to 1 pip .. woke up with 2 &^*&%^*%@ pips..

I hate it when that happens, those Australians have a lot to answer for. I've an order in long au 8590 s/l -15 t/p 8630. Maybe a re-test of 8660-70 level over next few hours but the last daily candle is making me think we're headed south sometime soon...

Yes, the hideously ugly Australians have much to answer for..

Point taken, that's the kind of Aussie culture I'd sign up to Not so keen on their beer or style of football though

Fosters is yeasty as all hell.. You keep half an inch in the can overnight and you'll puke from the smell in the morning..

The Australians are fine but I'm a bit partial to the Russian women The only reason we didn't have nuclear war a few decades ago is that the men refused to gather themselves in one area of the country and separate the women in another.. We can't incinerate those gorgeous blue-eyed Russian women.

I actually kind of like Aussie rugby..

That's a Nikita type for sure. I must say I get to work with some Russian gals and they're a mighty fine lot. Spent some time in Ekaterinburg and bumped into a few ladies drinking vodka (or wodka as they prounounce it) like their life depended on it. I'm all for encouraging Russian female migration to Ireland

I bet they'd fit right in in Ireland.. Russians tend to be blunt just like the Irish..

People where I live will give you a vague indication that you are doing something wrong and let you come to your own conclusion on how you are annoying them..

TEXAS: "You really like your music loud don't you?"

IRELAND: "TURN THAT MUSIC OFF YOU STUPID ####"

UJ is real trooper man.. traders will write poems about UJ's last stand.. It's holding up quite well.. OH but then again UJ has a habit of "looking" like it's about to tank, holding steady and then ruining your damn picnic..

AND THE ROCKETS' RED GLAAAAAARE! THE BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR.. GAVE PROOF THROUGH THE NIGHT.. THAT UJ WAS STILL THERE..

EJ is trying to poke through a pretty flimsy looking 1hr TL .. I'm not touching it. I've done what I needed to do tonight, Count.. Doctors worked all night tonight saving someone's life for $500... Lawyers compromised their morals defending a piece of human garbage for $750.. I made $1,057 drinking Heineken and listening to the new Devo album

God bless Capitalism my Irish friend.. time for Tylenol and sleep

Nice one man, glad the pips rolled in for ye. You're right about us Irish, we tend to cut out the bull**** & make the point which sometimes doesn't go down too well! Made 38 on the aussie long in the night & now I'm in short 8666 stp -15 with target 8605

Uj might not survive..

I'm long anyway.. UJ 91 s/l -20

I'm going to go ahead and short EU here at 1.24 s/l -50
