Long on GU from RN area, raised stop but that was soon hit. +22 pips
Seems like a counter trend trade ? From your charts you usually trade with the trend. what made you take this one instead of waiting for it to break below the round number ?

Ya it was a little bit. At times I will try some counters but not too often. I was looking at the move up then down to the highs and was originally going to target the RN area back up but I put a BE in as had to go do a few things and got a bit lucky with the resulting move up.

Hard down on the news though the trail was taken out just before that for +32. Was hoping the news was going to have the opposite effect and go in long while I was still holding which would have been nice.

Ya I have been looking at at GU, AU and EJ for some time now but dont really trade them on the short term but have been watching them to see how they go.

Guess that is why you need to stay away from pairs when their bank rates are due out.

Yeah i've been looking at the longer time frames the last week but nothing much to trade + i only look at a few pairs.

Its just that my sleeping pattern is way off at the moment. ive been sleeping at around 4am .. cant seem to get to sleep any earlier then that. When i get back into my regular routine then ill start trading properly.

Hi guys,

More than likely will not see much trading from myself today with this being NFP day.

But as always will keep an eye out for anything if im around.

Well that is a nice sharp move from the good old NFP.

I had a 4 hourly trade open on USDCAD that went down nicely on the release. I closed it out about 20 pips short of my TP target just in case of the sharp move back up again that is common with NFP.

+74 pips.

EU stalled at the daily trend line and a resistance area.

Another one of those areas where the bulls meet the bears

Took a short EU @ 1.34955 see how it goes probably a bit risky.

This one I had put my stops and limits on yesterday and had to get some errands done. Came back home for -30.

Hi doggy. Thanks.

It does not matter as when your busy off doing other things the market will always be waiting for you when you get back

Plus its always good to get the things done that need to be done sometimes trading can distract you from that

This short on EU not looking promising so far its just sitting there.
