Took the loss on this one and closed it out early before the original stop loss position.

In hindsight now looking back at this particular trade it is a position that I should not have got into.

I decided to close out all the open positions I had on this pair. The red line is where I had my trailing stop placed but wanted to take the profit I had. I had already given back plenty on the swing back up.

USDJPY has made a nice breakout from the consolidated area on the 4 hourly chart

Hello, what u think about long here ? I see strong support there.
Hi Machal,

This is how I see this and what I have drawn on my charts that I have been watching.

I do also still have a current short position on this pair on the daily charts. I am thinink about getting my BE in place on this daily trade rather soon.

Entered BE. Have been in this position for some time now and really hasnt done a whole lot. If it can break support completely and that holds as resistance then all good and if I get a BE so be it.

Thanks Spongebob,

Hi Guys,

Well I hope you all had a great weekend.

As you can see on the charts we once again had some gaps appearing on open this week, and once again we can see those gaps have been mostly closed by price.

Here is another losing trade that I took, this time on USDJPY 4 hourly. I took an entry below the bar that broke out of the range and through the 79.00 RN area.

Upon open this week this went straight up and through my initial stop.

I havent taken many of these of late but as I am sitting at my PC doing some work tonight I have had the chart up and watching it. This one turned out ok.

First entry away from RN. BE entered after reaching the trend line, second entry below the bar that broke trend line with the target area being the previous lows for both positions.

Target area achieved and both trades taken off at that level.

Took another short on EU 5 min with price breaking the lows and one of my longer term horizontal support areas. Target was the 1.2600 RN area.

Target achieved soon after. Smaller time frames mean smaller profit targets but the principles of the trade are still the same.

Was busy those last 2 weeks and did not really have the energy to trade.
But I've opened my chart today, to see if there are any setups.

The xxx/yen pairs are looking like if they are ripe for a continuation down, after retracement.
My favourite is A/J since here we have a 38.2 and 50 fib retracement, solid resistance and pinbar in the making. But also EUR/JPY for a continuation down from parity after consolidation. Plus trendline.

I like also EUR/CAD, where we have a nice bearish bar from channel resistance.

Hi Quezoy,

I am keeping an eye on all of those same charts.

I currently have a short open on EURCAD 4 hourly. So far so good

Came quite close to the projected level, still a good chance that it is going to continue straight through it.

Good idea Quezoy. The close is morning for me right before I take off to work so it good timing for me to check the charts before heading off for the day and enter any orders or move stops etc.

Set my TP on this trade just above the 1.2900 level and the target was easily achieved.
