Took more partial profit off my E/J trade at 96.72

Now only 15% of the original lot size remaining. No TP or SL at this time.

Time to party. That was the best 1 week trade I did all year.
Great! Party on

Where did you jump off?
I traded usd/chf in correlation with the eur/usd so I jumped off at 0.9700 (I believe eur/usd was at 1.238x) usd/chf is now at 0.9720+

edit: I tend to avoid trading the eur/usd directly as it has a higher margin requirement with the broker i use.

Thanks Bud. Glad you profited from it also.

That one trade all by itself was worth 5.6% of capital. It's been a great month. Let's see what June brings.

ADD: The balance of the trade is floating at another 1.65% of capital. Almost tempted to take it.

I dont know why I dont reenter on 1.24... Well I know, I should be a little more risky. I jump out my last short on 1.236 yesterday, I am in 1.2355 again, that was the confirmation to downtrends...
Why you keep picking bottoms Luis? You know PT's quote?

You did well. Now that we're at Europe close, I don't expect much more heavy movement. NFP tomorrow.

But you shorted near the bottom. If you were going to short at 1.2355, why wouldn't you short at 1.2400 or near the 50%-61.8% retracement from yesterday's H/L?

Because for me that was the confirmation to go down. Exist some correction that could trick you and then rebound more higher to get low again, and I dont want to happen that. Besides my lows are 1.232, 1,224 and 1.219, so in my mind I am still in the money.

P.D.: What a yen killikg today I pity dont have any position right now :S

By the way, I shorted in the retest

We are all in agreement that PA will target your lows if not even lower, but you should never want to short a break of a trendline where PA is in uncharted territory. At least it's been so #@$# long since it's been there. Price also had to drop 75 pips just to break your trend line. I'm just sayin, you would give yourself higher % by shorting at retrace. Next possible intraday short, I would assume it to give you your best entry would be at the golden 61.8% fibo from today's H/L @ 1.2393. Just my opinion. Happy pips.

Yep. If we measure the move from Jan low to Feb high and add that to the Jan low, it should put us around 1.17. That's my target and I believe same with PT.
