Hey attila. Finally got to close my short like I expected yesterday and went long at 1.286x. I think I should be able to get a few hundreds of pips out of it.
I will be looking for shorts.. trend's still down and it just retraced below an important TL...

i have just realised i'm going about my trading all wrong but i have a new guaranteed plan.

get a cheap website/twitter acct and post some financial news for a period of time until my site has some recognition.

then i will post "breaking news" to get the market to jump in the direction i would like to trade.

heck of a lot easier than what i've been doing.

I am prepared to be stopped out at preset Sell stop. E/U might be stopped out earlier but E/J still has some room to unfinished at 124.63. TWT.
Yes, I'd agree that there may well be unfinished business on both pairs, although I'm happy that I closed, and will now wait and watch how things develop to either enter long or short. I always close my entire position at a pre-determined level, which, on balance, serves me well.

Who knows. There may be pips in this for both of us. I'm in it for the long term. I expect to hold this long for weeks. Let's see.

What will make the market move more do you think...Bloomberg or your blog?

What you're saying equals someone saying "I'm going to extinguish this bush fire with this single bucket of water." Not feasible

Good morning so far. Booked 1.5% on my long account. Some of it was an existing long I had since yesterday and got out (no SL for me hehehe). Renetered when the PA went above the 10 Min 5SMA. exited out of the spike. No shorting so far the trend is up and Big Ben and his merry men are on later.

Have another existing long at 59. Waiting for Ms Market to join me...

Signing off now have to drive to my office. Will join you all in a few.

If EJ goes back to below 123.30s this looks terribly bearish to me.

That being said, a successful back test of one of those TLs below, and I might start going long intraday..

Demo trade first until you're system is consistently profitable...at least for a few weeks so you can test various market conditions. Also back test your strategy for 2k candles

Don't trade a live account until that...or if you do, use crazy low leverage.
Real money = other body and mind reactions

I play with leverage 1:100 but very small positions 0,01 .... 0,02 max

I had a friend in OSTC who told me that:

If you have profits each of 3 month you can climb on 0,02

If you have profits each of 3 month you can climb on 0,03

etc

But if you have only one month minus you must back with size of position and make profit in next three month .......

Difficult to tell which pair out of these E/J, E/U or U/J is leading but when E/U and U/J are moving at the same direction will give twice the speed to E/J.

E/U pips to open = +63
U/J pips to open = +45
E/J pips to open = +114
