What really makes me mad is when I mismanage a trade. I sold the daily open on GU today and the price just ranged around all morning so I closed the trade at 1/1. It is now trading right around 2.5/1.
Indeed, it was like watching paint dry....

If you think about the psychology behind the market right now. It was a very emotional experience last week with very BIG winners and very BIG losers because the market moved so viciously. I bet if you missed making pips last week you spent the weekend feeling like a bit of an idiot.... Well

You're not the only one... Every man and his dog came into this week looking for revenge or more glory... It's a catch 22.. So whats our great friend Ms Market do... Basically the opposite to whatever mass psychology is going on out there.

The very reason I elected to go long on alcohol tonight instead of any currencies

We'll start moving again about the same time everyone has given up on their weekend hopes. Maybe I'm wrong but maybe I'm right

The money is in fking the most amount of people.. When has is never been

There was some scalp money available on the open drops but on this momentum I'm waiting for relativity (personally).. And as tempted as i am to drop a music video in here in respects to the ballzy fella above I think it may be better to "fk off to my own thread" haha what a legend.

Olarion, Did you play the OR trade this morning? I should have pulled the trigger. I see that trade scored again. {image}
Yes, I did trade the OR (as SP mentioned correctly). I closed one half at 1/1, other half was stopped out at BE.

There was a valid entry off the daily open today on UJ. I don't have much success with UJ from this price. I think its because we have to wait for NY and Tokyo for the biggest moves normally. I find that it responds to the NY close very well though.

I've had a history of bad Mondays actually whether it be complacency or what I'm not sure. 60MM on the other hand claims that they are his best days... I wonder what the difference is there? hm...

I generally suck at Mondays. It is, by far, my worst day of the week. Tuesday through Thursday are my producing days. Mondays and Fridays I just dick around if I trade at all.

Yeah, me too... I'm always anxious to trade come Monday so the first one is usually some kind of bull at the gate attempt.
But conversely Fridays historically have been very good to me.

I have some forced discipline because I only will allow myself to trade at specific levels. Of course if you zoom out far enough there is always a level. Last night I had about ten weekly lows and highs in a cluster between 128 and 129 on EJ. I didn't know which one would turn price but there were so many I knew there would be a nice retracement. Soooo... I sold a bunch of them. I had eight units out in all. I didn't risk much on each trade but I made a killing on the big down move at 10:00 AM London. Risked about three percent and made five plus. Best Monday in weeks and all because I was just screwing around.

Long alcohol does sound pretty good. I haven't had any party time in a few months. twin babies take the party right out of you. they both have the same tree and plant allergies that I have so we are all three up all night sneezing and wheezing. Its a non stop party.

Same here but my fridays are historically a little below breakeven for me. The trades are there but it never fails that when i do decide to open a trade on a friday the interruptions just pour in.

Thank you.

Do you mean that regarding UJ, the right price level to take trades is NY close, but the first trades are about 2 hours before London open just like with EU, GU and EJ?
