crazy day of news ahead Friday, a lot to fuel the market

I'm short GJ 134.7

wow.. just jumped 70+ pips into profit! don't know why but I'll take it.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm 25 pips underwater..

screwy market this week

I'm looking to short ej just above 113 next week

I'm with you

although it needs to be said that I seem to be making the wrong decision, stopping out way too prematurely before massive gains.. I was right every time this week, but with incorrect parameters.. down slightly for the week, down 90 for the sorry ass month of July..

I'm remaining short GJ .. down 2 pips presently.. no stop as of yet. I'll double down on a gap higher..

Been doing exactly the same thing, calling it good but then exiting too early or too late like my aususd disaster. And another thing whilst I'm whinging, missed entering euraus short which would have seen +500 pips minimum plus interest!!! At least forex opportunity is like a Dublin bus, there'll be another one along in a minute...

Yes, but sometimes the Dublin bus hits you and drags your bloody, mangled carcass alogn the road.. Therefore, another one coming along might not be well-received.

I've just been using stops which are too tight this week. Each one of my trades went where I thought it would go, it just didn't go there the way I wanted it to go.

The yen, that is the question!? I'm thinking we might see a break from the last couple of months range this week but could still get a chance to short it tonight around 11330 or just below that.

grrrr.. I'm 40 pips down.. could have had 100 on this one.

I'm off to watch US Motogp from Laguna Seca & wet my throat then back when the Asian peeps get going

my fav

I'm out of this MFing GJ in 30 pips..

Our greatest hero and my city's namesake General Sam Houston used this song to assemble his troops after our victory over Mexico at the battle of San Jacinto.

I can see the obelisk from my window.

quite a powerful song.. best version by Wolfe Tones, but I love the Dubliners version as well..

I'm really not feeling the love of these European these 'stress test' results but it seems we're going to see some eur/gbp strength in the short term. Can't believe the UK figures that came out and neither can they!?

dude, my personal feeling is that we're screwed.. we might survive Japan but I think Europe will run with it.. I won't double down.. I'm ready to kill this GJ trade soon enough.. not feeling it at all.

fantastic song, a few towns only a few miles away mentioned in it!

I think Europe will go as well but there's a lot of rot over this way about to rear the head again. Ben Bernanke has been a bit on the honest side, I think the Europeans have a lot to hide. The DXY chart is looking interesting...

Trying to find the much better Wolfe Tones version..
