Moving stop on AUDCAD very close.

1/2 AUDCAD was stopped for -39 pips.

Entered long CADCHF with full size.

Chickened out of CADCHF for -11. Not moving like it should.

THIS is the trade I want to be in, I think.(chart)

Pretty shitty entry on the last one, but like I say, it's the final result that matters.

I'm changing the target on AUDUSD (chart).

EURUSD went 90 pips towards my target, but snapped right back so I'm still awaiting the move to either 1.2660 or 1.2876.

AUDCHF has been a dud, yet somehow I wasn't stopped today. I still think it has a chance, so letting it decide.

Looking back at the AUDCAD loss and trying to learn from it, I can see where I went wrong. I think if I see something like this again (and I will), I will wait until the line at today's low. Not that particular #, but a spot like that. Of course, by stating that, I am saying I still think this pair has a good chance of going up from here. Not enough of a chance for me to re-enter, but I don't think 1.0436 is that unlikely to be hit before 1.0300, which is an absurd r/r trade---in a good way.'

I'm in enough positions right now, though.

Really, USDCAD is probably the best pair to be in, but I'm just going to stick with what I'm already in.

OK...screw it. Just got out of EURUSD at -1. Took that money and put it in USDCAD. This r/r is insane, and I actually think this will happen.

Jeez, last post in here was over a year ago. Time flies!

Well, I've evolved quite a bit in the last year. I'm going to post some trades in here occasionally, mostly due to boredom. Maybe they will be of use to someone or maybe even of use to myself.

Here goes. Stop, entry, and target on chart. BUY GBPNZD

will be following, thanks for posting.

not sure if the AUD rally is finished yet my pull NZD up lets see

well done all done before london opens!

Thanks a lot, momochi! Just barely nicked the target while I was asleep. Not looking so good now, so I'm glad to be out.

Here's another one. Sell EURUSD. Same thing---target, entry, stop are red lines.

Last trade not so good. Trying a buy here on CADJPY.

Raised stop to 96.29. Raised target to 97.60. I think this triangle on the daily will break to the upside. I don't care anymore about catching the big move, I'll be happy at 97.60.

I risk the same amount on all these 1/1, r/r trades. Sometimes I go for more, but never less than the risk.

As far as that EURUSD trade earlier today that ended in loss. I always study my losses. I should have seen that trade better. Main problem was taking the trade too quickly and still a little groggy from waking up. Didn't even have coffee yet. Not excuses, but mistakes that I try to learn from. I should have seen that better before I hurriedly put the trade on.

Raising stop/target to 96.53 and 97.80.

Moving stop to 96.81---locking in +20 pips, or 40% of initial risk. Target started same as risk, but is now 2.4X initial risk.

Don't know where EURUSD will open, but if it's possible to short at/very close to 1.3740, then this trade will be taken. CADJPY trade still open.

Bought USDJPY. 1/3 r/r on this trade

Both USDJPY and USDCAD look like they will reverse from here. I am still in CADJPY, but I took 3/4 off the table, and went with the usual risk in USDJPY. Letting rest of CADJPY reach target or stop.
