Good trades DW. I decided to sleep last night as I had a good start of the week. Seems like everything is still rangebound. Lets see if i can get anything in this session.

Hi dan,

Thanks. I keep my risk pretty conservative, I only risk 1% per trade, but I find that is more than enough at the moment.

Finally got broken to the downside. I am hoping it goes a little further down so I can short it on the retest of that area.

Something looks fishy. Price is acting really weird. Cant make heads or tails out of it. Will let it break on either side and then decide.

Hi Doggy,

Its still very much sideways, but you can clearly see how the horizontal areas are holding it and how the RN areas work well in containing the range. Lower range was between the lower RN areas and now its caught between the next level up of RN. Been in that 100 pip range since the open yesterday.

Need to be a little careful of sloping lines in rangebound markets as price will tend to just move sideways through them eventually. They will work once maybe twice then it will just continue on its merry way.

The horizontal areas are the ones to keep an eye on but those too will eventually break, and if your on it your going to get stopped, with any luck you will be on it from the opposite direction when it breaks out

I was home early from work so I guess I was trying to make something out of nothing. I rarely use the trend lines to get in a trade. The US equities sold off at the end of the day so I thought I would try to get a nice short off of that. Then when I saw the prices stalling I took the dog for a walk to clear my mind.

Ya when you find yourself trying to push trades out of nothing it is sometimes best to walk away from your charts for a bit or it can sometimes get messy.

I try to avoid paying attention to anything to do with correlation, simply look at the PA on the chart im trading and the longer term view of that chart to be aware of the key areas.

It looks like EU is trying to break to the upside but if it tries that in the Asian session it usually reverses. I am just letting it play it out till the london session and see what that brings. I am closing this and have dinner with the bride and see what the next session brings. Good night all from here and I will see you guys when the Europeans wake up.

Took this trade earlier today from the top of the range area. I got very lucky with this I think with price coming pretty close to my stop on a number of occassions. I decided to let the trade run and simply see what happens with it.

Took most of the day for anything to eventuate. Once price did break there was a good opportunity for a second entry so I added to it but put a BE in quite quickly to minimise any risk. Price hit the BE and as soon as hit it moved on down nicely, but thats trading I guess. +32 pips from the original position so happy with that one.

I had to make a couple of phone calls, so missed this entry but as you can see would have been a good trade.

Good morning, the price is a bit lower but still range bound. I might as well wait till the feds speak this afternoon.

Well what a day. We made a higher high and a lower low than yesterday. I managed to grab 50 pips on the downmove. I was at work so couldnt post anything then.

Nice work on the 50 pips doggy.

Well I headed off to sleep kind of early last night looks like I missed a bit of action.
