Sell order on gbpjpy hit at 143.84, closed out for +23 on this short term drop. Had a good feeling it would drop from the high at 144 by looking at the daily chart plus the bearish bat pattern which formed on the smaller timeframe. Also, the gbpusd looks like its gonna drop off a cliff.

Pending buy order on GU waiting at 1.5019, 10 pip stop, looks like a prime place price will bounce from as its fresh, meaning price hasn't revisited that area since that upmove.

Well, that news released pushed it up earlier than I'd of liked and it missed my order.

Pending sell order on eurjpy @ 123.453, just under yesterdays daily candle open which finished bearish, I anticipate a considerable move down from this area, lets see if gets filled..

edit, that was a small loss, remind me not to trade during days where unpredictable volatility is likely to happen...

EU has been in a channel for about a month now, if it breaks out north I think we'll see 1.33 not long after.

I want to short EU tonight. Have set a pending order. Maybe not have chance to get in.

Ahh, hows trading off your phone going? I couldn't imagine doing it 100% off one, If I've got a position open via MT4 then I'll use the app to modify or close but thats it.

Speaking of MT4, I'm back on that for now as the platform I was originally using is having some strange disconnections during the day, a few minutes here and there a couple of times a hour.

Got a few orders set up, buy limit on GBPUSD @ 1.5264 as I reckon we'll see a bounce back up from here given the fresh spinning top candle (4hr chart) which hasn't been hit since that large upmove from it. Sell limit on EURUSD @ 1.30345 just under this weeks main pivot and this months pivot, they're both clustered together, oh and a daily resistance pivot which hasn't been hit yet, last weeks weekly bar on EURUSD finished rather bearish so that is another reason for my sell limit there.

Thinking to long EURUSD @ 1.2910 as I think we'll see a pretty big bounce back up from here as theres also a nice spinning top (1hr chart), which hasn't been re-tested since the large move away from it, but I'll see how the PA churns out.

It's okay, bigger 20-25 SL so don't need to be so accurate, I just set limit orders 2 of them at possible turn points, with the trend and see what happens.

Wish I'd of not sold the NOTE.

Prove it, bump up account and get back on the day trading only for a living, work is killing me!!
