Bears still going strong, troops now under water. Biding my time to launch rescue(s) or bite bullet.


edit.
Update - As it turned out, rescued all my troops and made more on the retrace/ In fact I had my best day of the week :-)

Great journal Dong.

I've launched a scout here at 1.4150 on E/U. Will add more soldiers if it goes well.

So much to learn.

Good trading all.

never bite a bullet on a strong stream my friend... kill them immediately on the first sign of trouble...

remember... 3k's is in strong mode this means a strong trend... therefore we shall not go against it ...

but i couldn't help my quicky MO (piggishly me )

Thanks for the reminder. I must get out of habit thinking I got to rescue all the time.

Nice one Ed ! I dance differently to you as I tend to scale in and out much more. But like the say, many ways to skin a cat. I took some quick pips on the retrace after LO. Now all squared apart from scout.
High impact news for euro out in just under 10 mins.

Hi Jupiter,

Look at the bulls now, they are all out to play. Just shows why we cannot predict what the market will throw at us. Good figs for EU hence the strength but that's not a reliable indicator as we have often seen good news accompanied by a contradictory reaction. It's all funnymentals to me, lol. Best we just dance the best we can and keep our scorpions in check (self reminder, lol).

Regards
Bak

My chart. Only 1 position still in but rest all scaled out.

update - bulls going up too sharply, no opportunity to add on, waiting for a pullback...patience is the name of the game. Like Eddy said, buy/sell at discount price :-)

i'm still flat at the moment... waiting for a clearer view...

times like this... best if we don't become over aggressive... we'll play with foreign caps ... only with foreign caps...

i'm still looking for opportunity to short euro... but not just yet

Hi Eddy,
Understand what you're saying. I am playing with "foreign capital". from this week. The sizes of my positions were kept small when I was pig after London opened. I only left a scout in during the news and as it went in my favour, I then added a few more positions after the news was out, quickly pocketting the profits as I am aware of the rubber band effect that could happen at anytime.
Ok, back to babysitting duties, ;-).

Regards
Bak

@ Bakuli
You are so right...
However, “funnymental” is a nice word...
And “nimbleness” too... a word that I have to learn better.
@ dongsky
Don't worry, I'm flat. On the sidelines watching the show.
