Igrok Method. Q's & A's. Comments, thoughts and ideas

We all know FX brokers have their own dirty little tricks. Sometimes it makes me sick what they are capable of. Last week I had a great trade on AUDCAD. A long buy limit order waitng to be executed @ 0.9589. Due to spread, slippage or whatever (!!!) the trade was not taken and the train departed without me. Anyone can check the actual result of the trade on H1 and understand why I am sooooo pissed off!

Today I had a similar trade on EJ and the same thing happened! I am glad I was fortunate enough to be by the terminal and therefore able to enter the trade manually instead of my original buy limit order. However, my original buy limit order had a much better price tag on it.I had to give away some 7 pips to the broker just because of their dirty little tricks.

Anyway, this trade is healthy at the moment and I hope it will keep going just like AUDCAD did.

Am on a similar trade only on GU (already protected).

Best to all.

PS: UCAD had a similar trade monday.

Hello traders. The one day holiday is over now & I'm back to trading. Monday's AUD/USD was stopped out at b/e. No new active orders at the moment. Chart scan for new positions is ON. Wish all a great day!

AUD/USD: the situation on my screens is a bit ambiguous now. But still - south move somehow looks more trustworthy for me. 0.9417 - 0.9387 is the zone that can still hold and awake the up move but breaking down the 0.9387 would confirm that bears are back in town for this week.

EUR/USD: leaving a pending sell @ 1.3575. SL @ 1.3615.

AUD/JPY: IM south move in action. Will be looking for an ID or IW short entry.

EURJPY LONG trade is/was probably this weeks trade thus far.


A few other entries are/were possible:

GU LONG(didn't quite really reach the expected level on ID), NU IM trade (didn't quite reach the expected level yet), USDCHF short on ID basis (perfect touch and trade is somewhat healthy),AUDCHF (similar to UCHF).

Chfjpy might also provide a nice LONG position @ around the 106.87 level in the near future.

Another trade taken. During Asia session, UCAD provided a nice short entry. Looks quite like a diamond top.

Good day traders. Day off yesterday due to the chart situation that didn't offer anything worthwhile getting myself into the market. My AUD/USD short that I took two days ago was stopped out at +1 after giving 70+ pips. (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=747647771918658&set=a.259433740740066.84135.197693770247397&type=1&theater) It was the second stop out at the entry price this week so I simply decided to stay aside and monitor the Aussie situation with no orders. It seems that the pair is waiting for some serious movement catalyst ranging in quite a small area.

Some news regarding my pending orders. EUR/USD that I was waiting from the 9th of this months got activated today and is running with +15 pips. Last day of the week today - will most likely move my SL to a safe place. As always - wish all a nice day!

EUR/USD: +25 pips floating, SL moved to b/e.

GBP/USD: canceling my pending sell @ 1.6299 has been kept from September the 26th and not activated.

Calling it a day and week. One active EU order left with SL @ b/e. Wish all a nice weekend!

Joined AUDCHF short earlier today. Good floating and trade already protected. Nice week to you guys.

Good day guys. Back to work after a wicked weekend traveling to some places here in the USA. Chart scan in progress. Will share some sketches if I'll find anything worthwhile mentioning. Green pips to all as always!

EUR/USD: the pair goes first. My short order placed on the 9th of October (was activated last Friday) got stopped out at b/e. It usually doesn't bother me a lot when such things happen. But when the price drops something like 100 pips without me and all the work has been done - I'll be honest - it sucks a bit. No mistakes as the position was secured before the weekend. At the same time it was a mistake as it was a planned and waited longer term position. EU is still on my list. Will definitely return to it tomorrow to see how the PA will develop.

USD/CHF and GBP/USD: on the list for this week. I will most likely act tomorrow or later this week. No exact numbers yet.

Hello traders. Back to EUR/USD. If I had a short, I would wait for something like 1.3448.

Good luck to all today!

EUR/USD: sold the pair @ 1,3534. SL @ 1,3574.

Good morning world. My EU short failed. Was wrong about it. 40 pips (1%) loss on this one. But was right about Swissey. USD/CHF: south move caught. Added a sell before going to bed yesterday. Closed for 110 (3,6%) pips this morning.

Wish all a nice day!

AUD/CAD: pending short order @ 0.9909 with stops @ 0.9949, placed on the 17th of September - activated today.

No more new calls today. Calling it a day. Take care all. Will be back tomorrow.
