Also had a crack at the same counter trade that Musashi took. Had to go do a few things while this one was open so set the TP order which got hit for +25 pips

Currently short USDCAD @ 1.04850 and long AUDJPY @ 74.110 see how these 2 pan out.

Contemplating putting a BE on AJ pretty quickly so as not to give too much back today if it doesnt do what I want it to.

This is a typical price action. Maybe now we can see some trending price action this session..

...prices are down.. down down... prices are down...

USDCAD came within a few pips of my PT before reversing back up, annoying when that happens. AJ has pretty much just gone sideways and sitting pretty close to my stop at the moment. Both poisitions been going for a while now and only just in play on them both.

Almost time for sleep for me guess all I can do is let them play out, stops will most certainly get hit I would imagine, I will be very lucky if they dont.

edit: USDCAD got hit as soon as I hit submit on post -21 pips.

Hi Doggy,

Nice work with the marathon. Is that running between two cities im assuming ?

How far was it ?
The course does run between St Paul and Minneapolis. It is 26.2 miles. In kms I think it is around 42 kms.

Geez, long way. That certainly a fair achievement thats for sure.

Sleep time for me. DST has kicked in here now so add an extra hour to our time diff for the time being.

Hope you pick up some nice pips today doggy if you take any trades.

After running that far doggy I would imagine your legs are going to be feeling it for a few days.

The best part is I took a week off work. Now I can sit on my ass and watch these charts.

Gotta be careful, sometimes more time to watch the charts is not necessarily a good thing

I did a half marathon once.... and once was enough... it certainly takes a degree of self discipline to keep going when your body is screaming at you to stop, but you just keep going, one foot in front of the next.

Once you push through the pain it's just a matter of time.

It's a bit like charting, once you have the discipline to wait for price to come to the levels you want, it's only a matter of time. Plus putting the mouse in the drawer helps too.

When I was running I said never again.
You do push it when there are so many people shouting encouragement around you especially the last few miles. But when a few older guys who looks like they are more than 70 pass you, you try to atleast finish the race.

I'm quite happy to keep shorting EU today. No problems, xx00 level acting as resistance for the time being. One thing you'll find in asian session, these number typically will contain price.

It actually lets me try a couple of things I have observed in the last month or so.

That is fairly common during the asian session that is for sure.
