Aye, I like it to move fairly quickly after I open the trade, if the price continues to stall and not move I get out.

USDCAD may be a nice short opportunity around the 1.0268 - 1.0288 area, will be keeping an eye on it.
Do you only trade FX?

eurusd short @ 1.26505, price made a higher-high double top pattern (thats what I call it anyway) and entered after the large bearish candle from resistance.

Closed just above the daily pivot @ 1.2633. +17
Good scalping, I like it.
TRADE WHAT U SEE NOT WHAT U WANT TO SEE.

EURUSD long @ 1.2601, TP 1.2650. SL 1.2570. Risk is low as I'm going against an obvious downtrend, however.

Back later, the gym is callin', the weekend was a heavy one..

Closed for +1 pip ( lol ), good job I can access it on my phone.

Well, an early start today for me.

EURUSD my bias today is short, the areas of the chart are areas where I'll be looking to sell.

The fib levels all line up with psych levels, strange, huh?

usdcad long @ 1.0228, price stalled and failed to continue down, I believe the downmove after yesterdays high was just a pullback before a move north day. closed at 1.0236, +8, as the price is stalling at the daily pivot which would indicate a reversal, either way I ain't waiting around to find out, pips have been bagged.

short eurusd also @ 1.2608, closed at 1.2576, +32, if it fails to break through this area or 1.2550 area i'll look at going long.

Currently looking at a Euro short if we can get a rejection to the 1.2600 level.

Just entered short AUDUSD at 1.01469, price stalled at the 1.0150 area aswell as the daily and weekly pivot/resistance levels, TP 1.01. The entry area was also pretty good support in the past, check the 4h chart.

SL 1.0169 hit

It is indeed. However I am still on the sidelines until the markets show me some momentum.

This is when trading is boring... but it is also what separates the profitable from the not so profitable... If you can't see a setup that meets your entry criteria then just say no...

Yeah its been fluttering around that area most of the day, with the very bad news this morning for the EU and pretty good for the US just now, you'd expect it to rocket south but its behaving rather strange today.

Lets see what happens..waiting to see what happens around the 1.2650 area if it gets there.
