OK so my GBPCHF short was closed early for -16.8 pips. What looked like the start of a new down leg just couldn't break the support. We might get another go at it. Possibly... Anyway, a few pairs have been disqualified for trading since I last posted so here is the updated list of pairs I am actively watching.

SHORT -

USDCHF(being cautious)
GBPCHF
NZDCHF
AUDCHF

LONG -

GOLD
EURNZD(being cautious)

Only as additional confirmation or for tweaking target levels. I dont use them for trade ideas.

OK so only that 1 GBPCHF trade for me today so far.

However, I think that we are shaping up for an exception to the dead Asian session rule, as we have had hardly any movement on most currencies all day through both London and New York sessions, except for JPY which weakened today and is now retesting recent lows. So, it would make sense for there to be a bit more activity from Tokyo tonight. It may be the right Asian session to dip your fingers in if you feel so inclined. But beware any consolidation patterns and wait for them to break first before entering a trade.

Potential for EURJPY longs look to be the best choice to me. Just my 2 cents.

Cheers and best wishes for green pips!

OK so, just that one trade for me.

I ended with a loss of 1.8% on the account. Not much movement on any market but a pretty reasonable day overall. Tomorrow should be better.

Here are the screens, which will account for the recent deposit of 9000 GBP on Friday.

Thanks for this. It let's me know that it wasn't just me not seeing anything today.:-)

What did you think of the trading day today?

It was definitely trying to do something but really ranging market overall... however there was a bit of opportunity on GBP longs which I didn't take advantage of because longer term MAs as possible overhead resistance made me a little skeptical of the potential. Glad I didnt dip my fingers as I see it was more of an ulcer creation situation than a money creation situation... haha...

Watch for Gold to breakout to the upside today or tomorrow.

How'd you make out?

Cheers!

Yes it was really choppy yesterday. I took a GBPCHF short during Asia that failed to breakout. I know you said Asia is bad time to trade but, I would like to give my old strategy another shot. This was the Strategy where I made 55% in 2 months.(not doubled in a week like I thought;-)) So we'll see.

Cheers, hope you make out like a bandit.
