GJ was a great trade today. A retest of last weeks high after the market turned its intraday intentions towards the upside warranted buy orders.

Shorted USDCHF on an IM basis with a SL of 24 pips.
Price fell and found acceptance, for now, back inside yesterday range. Protection mode is ON and am @BE with about 1R of profits.

P.S. EURAUD stopped out @BE. The 3rd BE trade this week, I hope USDCHF won't become the 4th!

B/e is not so bad buddy. For about a month now I feel like a newbie trying to solve the FX puzzle. Yesterday's orders went not as planned. I had to take back my words after naming them 'healthy trades'. Kiwi damaged account by 0,5% and Aussie was stopped out at the entry price. Had a pending Geppy long today but didn't get the price.

Enough of FX adventures for today. Calling it a day. As always - will be back tomorrow. Take care all!

As I was going thru my charts @ EOD, I noticed a missed opportunity to take a long position in gold.

The attached chart is pretty self explanatory. It demonstrates market psychology as well as price pattern behaviour.

Good morning people,

Was away all day yesterday and looking at the charts am glad I was away. USDCHF stopped @BE too. Let's see if friday is offering some nice opportunities. Good luck.

Small holiday for me buddy. Yesterday was energy consuming. No trading today at my camp.

Green pips to all who's hunting today and a nice upcoming weekend! Sun is shinning - bicycle day for me. Will be back on Monday.

I ammend that with UCHF. After the fake BO at the top of the month, market demonstrated its true intentions. It also had an early down MM providing 18.4 entry.

Trade of the week.

Hello people, hope you're having at least as a wonderful weekend as I have. Outside is too hot now and I am using this time to make a review of the past week trades and opportunities.

The trade of the week, imo, was on monday, ID EURJPY long. The main reason was a clear false break of previous day, week and month lows. If you want to get in at a start of good move just watch for false breaks of important levels. I have loads of them saved in my playbook and most of my best trades started out like this.

I was aware of the ID context but completely missed the big picture, thus I ignored it and didn't trade it. My loss. Consistent day to day preparation is paramount to success.

Wish you a relaxing weekend for what's left of it.

Hello people. New week means new adventures in the markets. Had too many of them recently (more often not the pleasant ones) so decided to make some further changes in my everyday trading. Almost 70% less of ID orders. That means that there is going to be only 1, 2 MAX of intra-day calls left during the week. All eyes on IW's and IM's. Also bigger TFs on the screens for other setups.

Wish all best of luck this week!

Hi guys,

I had 1 trade earlier today, UJ short with a smaller position that ended up with a loss.

Nice picks J, I have AJ limit for shorts too. Will keep it a bit more then cancel it if nothing happens.

C, the market definitely changed for the summer, its definitely more dull than usual. I'm also trying to be more picky with my entries nowadays.

Good luck guys!

And again the potential trade of the week was yesterday on AUDJPY, this time I had my limits in but wanted to get a better fill and didn't activate unfortunately. And by now it already engulfed previous week range. I hope you guys see the reasons, this chart goes into my playbook as well.

As for this morning, watching EURJPY, GBPJPY and USDCHF. Good luck!
