Yesterday market was so slow and the US market was closed. So took a day off after the first negative trade for the week.

Quick one this morning on EJ, missed the 1st rebound but took the second one. Its a counter trend trade so quite risky.

Currently I'm reading an old book ~ Steve Nison's Japanese Candlstick Charting Technique. Sometimes we do need to go back to the most basic, but essential trading tool.

Hey man, I'm trying to stop my hand off from the trading platform during my day job time Can't let THEM see so many candles floating around in my screen.

But reading a PDF seems to be normal thing during office hours

Good catch right on Euro opening, always sudden move till London open an hr later. get it or being killed, quick result in either way.

No, I am on GMT +2.

I can only trade from 3 hours before till 3 hours after London open.

When I switch on my computer you already made pips.

2 trades, look for 61.8, but seems stalled at 50%; so closed one by one

Dont be greedy, when we take the sudden move, especially right after the news.

Haha,

Sorry, U/CHF seems no direction for couple of hours;
The GU I got stopped out for -18p

Anyway, just got +7 from GJ on long play. Quit at previous high.

Still in negative today.
