Good morning

managed to get the eurgbp trade to breakeven just before the close of the candle this morning, so happy with that as we're now in a free trade.

eurcad has been a bit slow getting going, it was looking like it might head up to break even yesterday, but has slipped back overnight, but stochastic is still heading up, so hopefully will reach break even today.

I've taken the euraud trade this morning as well, as all entry conditions have been met...I could have taken the trade yesterday but I have made the decision to wait until there is a confirmed clear break of the signal line over the o/s level 20 before I enter. I have seen many times where the signal line has turned back and headed the other way....

so happy with my discipline with entries so far this week especially the eurcad and euraud trades were perfect entries to the rules!

Off to work now, let's see what happens today...

Happy pips to everyone

things got a bit messy last night...my demo expired almost exactly at the time my eurgbp was closing the 2nd part of the trade

Anyway managed to set up a new demo and was able to replicate the existing trades onto the new demo.

Basically, I opened 0.01 eurgbp where the 2nd level of the trade was closed and set a stop at 50 pips (which would have been where the jumping stop would have been on the original trade). Once the trade closes I'll do some math and post the results.

eurcad and euraud were still hovering around the original trade open price still, so I was able to take these trades again.

Looking this morning, both eurcad and euraud have struggled to get gong and both in drawdown still. I'll update again at the close of the candle.

eurcad

Trade is still open, was consistently in positive territory yesterday, but slipped back a bit overnight....
currently around 20 pips down, stoch is still heading up though, so hopefully we will reach break even today.
update 23/06/11
eurcad

this trade just not seem to want to get going, managed to get into positive territory for a while yesterday, but currently about 60 pips into drawdown.
Stochastic is still heading up, but has flattened ever so slightly, so let's see what today brings!

eurcad looking like we may get a cross of the stoch today...
I'll be putting out positive vibes overnight to try and get it to move on up

Looks like my positive thoughts may have had an effect
eurcad has moved back up overnight and I think we may now avoid a stoch cross at the close of the candle.

The trade is still in drawdown, but this is daily trading and the pace is definitely slower, so still very possible for the trade to keep going up.

euraud somewhat came back as well

I don't think any other trades will be confirming this morning and won't be at the pc today at 8am and will probably wont get a chance to check the charts till around 9.30am...
but this is exactly one of the reasons I enjoy trading the dailies is that an hour or so is not going to matter too much.

I hope you all have a good day (evening),
Happy pips

Well from what was looking like an almost certain stoch cross for a loss has turned around and actually made it into positive about an hour before the end of trading.
At the close of trading the trade is down 1 pip.

Hopefully today will see it continue on up to break even!

euraud

No break even today, despite the strong direction of the stoch, this trade is refusing to co-operate and was down around 145 pips at it's worse.
It has headed back up by the close of trading, enough I think to avoid a stoch cross. Hopefully it will continue in a positive direction once trading opens again on Monday morning.

gbpchf, gbpcad, audcad, gbpusd, gbpjpy

all heading into oversold....

probably another couple of days yet before any decisions are made on these trades.

Off to work...Happy pips everyone
At close of trading on Saturday morning:

gbpchf - this pair is well oversold but still looks like there's a bit further to go yet

gbpcad - still watching but looks like there won't be a valid signal for this pair. stoch signal line failed to cross into oversold and starting to turn.

audcad - no longer watching, no valid signal to enter, price has started to turn back.

gbpusd - still watching, could go down a bit further yet

gbpjpy - similar to gbpusd, still watching but a little further to go yet.

audchf - watching, could be ready in the next few days

usdchf - watching, possibly a few days away from an entry yet


I hope everyone has a successful week trading...
lots of pips to us all

I'm not going to have time to put charts up this morning, but will after work, however in a lesson of patience both the eurcad and euraud are now at breakeven +2 with 50 pips locked away each.

I am really pleased that I have strictly followed the rules with these trades.
This was the first time since I started testing this strategy that I entered correctly and still both the trades went well into drawdown and looked like closing for a loss at the cross of the stochs.

The cross didn't eventuate on either trade and we have finally locked in some profits and happy to let the trades run for what they will now

gbpjpy - similar to gbpusd, still watching but a little further to go yet.

audchf - watching, could be ready in the next...
the following pairs...

gbpchf - is looking like it is starting to bottom out. Will need to watch as sometimes trades can stay in the o/s or o/b for days on end. Will only enter once there is a clear confirmation from both stochs.

gbpusd - similar outlook to gbpchf, although may still have a little bit more downward movement in it yet.

gbpjpy - starting to move back up, could be an entry at the open of the new candle. Will be watching this one closely.

audchf - still could be another day or 2 away from an entry yet, will continue to watch

usdchf - as with audchf still maybe a day or 2 away, will continue to watch this pair also

chfjpy - this is just shown up on my watch list today, could be an entry tomorrow or the next day.

depending how the markets move, there could be a few trades placed in the next few days

Very happy with the results and the fact that I had the patience to sit it out and stick to the rules!

Hopefully another good day for us all

usdchf...

gbpchf - still going down

gbpusd - looks like there may be an entry on this tomorrow morning

gbpjpy - trade entered

audchf - could be an entry tomorrow morning for this one as well

usdchf - this pair seems to have bottomed out a little bit, will need to see what price action brings overnight

chfjpy - still heading up, this pair has had the uncanny knack of being able to stay in o/b for some time lately before turning, so will need to make sure there is a clear confirmation to enter before taking a trade
