More trades than usually at my camp this week. 5 b/e trades during the first part of the period. All of them have been skipped because of the PA movements and my personal feelings about the situation. USD/CHF and USD/CAD were the first positions opened. Less power and action on Monday because of the US bank holiday made me close loonie with small profit. The USD/CHF order closed because of no significant price breakout (less action and power than usually after opening the position). Both orders could be good for 150 pips all together though. Patience does pay off! The battle continued with CAD/JPY. Three trades taken - all b/e. A nice trend line was misleading me. All trades were good for 20-30 pips but the PA showed that it would be better to put SL to a save place: no new low points and nothing more to lead my short trades. I'll be honest: it was the chart hypnotizing me. Glad that I didn't make the revenge trade that would be a loss and had a look more thoroughly at what was happening. Skipping the CAD/JPY was a correct move. EU and USD/CHF were the only trades that generated this weeks profit on the account. Nice opportunity to open some positions based on range templates. Used it.

Weekly profit: 3.2%.

Have a great weekend time. See you next week.

Have had some b/e trades today: USD/CHF and E/U. Both went good for 70 pips all together but came out with no profit as the PA moves didn't manage to get to my TP points.
Have made another trade with CAD/JPY. Range trading again. Closed for 60 pips (3%) minutes ago (high ADR). RR - 1/3.

Back with E/U today. A trade with 15 pips SL. Half closed for 30 pips (2.5%) as it was a raised risk trade. A profitable week and the generosity of the market gave me an opportunity to put more than the usual 1% on a trade. Having more than 10%+ this week only decided to enter with a triple risk. SL @ +1. ADR, AWR as a target for the rest.

Cheers. Techniques + money management used at the right time = magic. When there is a row of profitable trades PUT MORE POWER into the gun. It's the thing I feel right about. The risk has been added from the profit I had. No stress - if it would be a loosing trade I would still have a profitable end of the week.

That is what I mean. And the feeling storage part - true. It doesn't matter how good or how long you're in the game - it always does bother when you make a mistake. Just it takes less time to forget it with the years in this business.

Thanks J. Always nice to see you here.
