Day Trading for a Living

I'm long GU @ 1.56299 just above the daily pivot & quarter number. TP 5674, SL now at trade open @ +13... R:R 1:2

This could be short and violent....

I've put a note on my screen now, don't close trades early!
Nice


My SL was to tight I figured it would head higher just miss timed it and to close a SL still up just on the day

First trade via the Note I was trying to move the SL and it wouldn't select my order which is annoying had to get the pen out then to late. POS!


Should run again into the close!
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

Closed for +25 a few hours ago, It never reached my TP in the time I'd hoped, oh well, +25 is better than feck all.

Edit, my TP would of been hit aswell right after london open today, lovely!

GBPUSD short @ 1.56822, perfect entry IMO - inside bar/inverted bearish hammer right on a pivot level and made a high for the day, TP has been moved to 1.56. SL has just been moved to break even, lets see.

Closed half the position for +44, netted some decent profits there, SL has been moved to 5659 on the remainder as price is finding support at a weekly support pivot and the daily pivot is just under that..

Missed that good sell opportunity on eurusd also, same as gbpusd - insidebar/inverted bearish hammer 15m tf.

Just closed the rest of the trade.

That being said, I've not bought anything from a shop in a while, only food shopping, I buy mainly everything online as its more convenient plus if I'm in a shop I'm more reluctant to buy anything, I'm like a woman when shopping and can never decide on anything, if its online a few clicks of a mouse and its done and forgotten about until I get a knock at the door.

EU is currently at its daily pivot so that may go north, AU at a whole number area......

5660-5720 area looks like a massive resistance cluster so I'll be trading reversals from this area until it breaks through, I'll only be wrong once

The fetish for currencys has returned.

I prefer trading currencys in london only before the US opens, daily S/R areas are fresh so the chances of them reversing at certain levels are higher, IMO! even though theres more volatility during US-London, then moving to the dow in the afternoon to try and catch one of them 200+ pip moves, just lovely!!

Looks like a good entry, pulling away from a decent support area, it'll probabaly hit 96.67 or 96.75 how tight is your stop incase it makes a U turn?

I only trade GU and EU now, dropped AU as its range of pips just isn't as high.

Nah closed out a while back @ 5638, +44

EU went north after stalling at its daily pivot, GU stalled at a weekly support level and sent that north.

The most likely culprit!! ---> http://www.forexfactory.com/news.php?do=news&id=374487

by the time you find out about the news, the move is already priced in by moves like that unless you pay to have the fastest news feeds, or just throw some money to a twitter 'fx monkey' where if he farts it moves the market, insider trading? never!!

I was counter trend so rules are if it stalls expect trend to resume and bail not that Ej is that trendy.

Dax on the other hand was with trend coulda held to 40+

Getting there I think, need 1 of 3 big contracts I've been waiting on for months to start so I can role some money over and eat lol
