Check this out guys.. look how broker screwed me out of my tp.. I know it was news time but look at the gap and chaotic pa.. most likely the widen of spread got something to do with it, overall it cost me there unfortunetly.. cool 70+piper not capitalized.. now this better make it there today or %$%$ else.... lol {image}
remember this earlier today where missed my tp by hair.. luckily it came back to it and capitalized +70.. pretty grateful about it, but it required patience.

just triggered long on eurcad 1.52153.. I know, i know, cad got some major news coming in couple of hours, but it has walked right into my signal which is off the lower recent bracket support line.. who the hell knows whats going to happen.. but here is the deal.. I am up about 500pips this month already, its a big time start already so what I do when I am up, I keep on pressing the f out of it and wont let anything to stop me.. plus there is a 50/50 chance of win here where could payoff big if it gets bullishly wild.. and if i lose, well, based...

just closed this one for breakeven.. had me deep in the losses but not enough to hit my stop.. grateful that news went my way.
yesterdays news took it down, today's news took it up, lol.

my only trigger for today was this one which is working out great.. I see more drop on this one.
based on so many major datas make it hard to get new one off but this one off the pretty solid res where it bounced off nicely and was couple of hours before the news and gave me a bit of cushion prior to gbp release which caused me to hold it.

closed EU for 120+..
and a nice spank on gbpnzd -100.. funny enough this was the one out the bunch that I had high expectations.. probably part of the problem that I stubbornly kept it longer than i should have to finally do the U on me for a full stop, uglyyyy.

I think this shock might have something to do with that. Still feeling it, but it *should* bounce back soon. Strange day.

well there is always shocks and strange last couple of days of first week of every month.. nfp still coming baby. now to add to the mix we got ww3 up our ass too, lol. who cares, can't do much about it but to keep on plugging according to trading plan and stay tough, some will go your way and some don't, with some solid management and patience the results should come out ok.

closed this one for 110+.. target was around 130 at lower level but it's close enough considering that i let it be over Asian session to maybe get another full leg out of it. anyways pretty satisfied with this trade as i needed to compensate the frigging gz loss.

Correction. Maybe not. This could be why the pound is in freefall. What a pillock.

Attempting a breakout on the daily. The fakeout is out of the way so this may be the real deal. I know, I know, NFP shortly but I have a decent SL so fingers crossed.

I took a stab at the NFP here with half load.. since eu is at 2year high and crossing over solid resistant to add positive job number.. it makes it ok risk.. lets see how it plays out.

I had a short just under where you went long on EURJPY, closed it this morning for about 10 pips profit, good job really considering todays movement

I took a loss on my gbpaud long position, for some reason when my stop was hit the position didn't close so I took a pretty heavy hit. I also had a few orders yesterday which weren't hit by a pip or two, out of frustration I moved my high risk trading account funds over to a new ctrader ecn account where the spreads are as tight as a ducks arse, but for some reason the candles are off on most timeframes, the closing price of the previous candle doesn't line up with the opening price of the next one, it's like there's a delay from one candle to the next and it looks silly, I totally forgot that the ecn account closes trading at 10pm gmt for 5 minutes so when the next 4hour or daily candle opens, that is off by a few pips in relation to the close price of the previous candle, this week has been a nightmare not only on the charts, monday can't come quick enough I've just this minute put the funds back into my mt4 account, I won't be using ctrader anymore.

Roll on next week.
