I have decided to Add 2 more lots to my sell, because the Euro had a nice move up today and I think it has run out of gas at the 1.2140 resistance. I also am seeing the start of a 1 hr pin of of the resistance level which makes me believe that it has topped at least in the short term. The bar has not closed yet though

This trade that I just entered is somewhat risky and I'm not as confident. From past experiences, this is going against the overall trend of the market, however, I really believe that there is a chance here to make a gain on a slight bullish trend that has taken place over the last two days. Im expecting the euro to go up to around 1.25 and then continue to become bearish. Right now its at 1.23 and Im hoping to ride it upward. Trade details..

Bought Euro at 1.23000
Take Profit = 1.24000
Stop loss = 1.21
Leverage .20

Last night I entered this trade and bought the Euro. Bought the Euro at 1.23000 and took profit at 1.24000 for another 100 pip trade. This trade was a little bit riskier because it went against the overall trade. The next trade I am looking to make is to short the Euro as I expect it to go back down against the dollar. Will place trade when it nears the 1.25 level. Below is my chart.

Just now I entered at trade where I shorted the Euro at 1.24500. The reason was because of the resistance level...also it met the trend line and looked like a great opportunity. With the mess still going on in Europe...this trade looks good, especially if the stress test on the european banks comes back negative. Lets see what happens. Details and chart of the trade below.

Trade Details:

Shorted Euro at 1.24505
Stop loss= 1.27000
Take Profit = 1.23505
leverage = .20

Well my stop loss was just hit and I lost 300 pips in the trade. Learned alot from this trade as I held on for dear life for 2 weeks in hopes that it would continue downward, but that never happened. Learned that I'm going to lower my leverage on future trades and stick to smaller stop losses. Chart is below.

Just entered a new trade as I am shorting the Euro at 1.29.
The resistance was at 1.28990 and I believe that it will resist this number and work its away down bearishly. Also the trend line leads me to believe that it will bounce off of that as well. Lets see what happens...

Trade Details:

Shorted at 1.29000
Take Profit at 1.27800
Stop Loss at 1.31000
Leverage .10

Just shorted the Euro vs the Dollar. My reason behind this is because of the fibbonicci and a the resistance are both located at 1.30890. I expect this to reject the Euro, making it drop. I tighted the details of this trade to make a quick 40 pips. Details of trade below:

Shorted at 1.30825
Take Profit= 1.30425
Stop Loss=1.31300
Leverage=.20

Last night, the trade worked out perfect as the Euro went bearish. It was only a 40 pip trade, but the opportunity looked good to gain some easy pips. Chart is below...
