GBPNZD pushed its way to the top and I liked the look of this early CCI signal, banked half for 9 pips so stop sitting at a net BE position...

Looks like the EUR strength is holding up with the EUR pairs pushing higher , maybe I shouldn't of switched to GBPNZD but it came to the top and setup well so what can I say??

You make your choices and you live or die by them..

Moved my stop to BE to lock in my first halves profit as this last push up has gotta take us higher or we could be in trouble..

Love this entry what I would call almost perfect whether it works or not is totally irrelevant...

Strong uptrend nice pullback to a key level and CCI leads us in , they don't get much better to be honest...

Nope out at BE so even perfect entries don't always work... just not catching anything thats moving away from my entry fast enough, the charts all seem a bit hesitant today, pushing one way then quickly coming back....

Gonna give this top trender GBPNZD another go as it looks to be desperate to break above 1.2275 to me...

Nope lost 12 pips at full size there which basically wiped out my profits for the session, never mind it just didn't work out today I think theres a fair bit of profit taking going on with these GBP pairs, they've had a good run up over recent weeks so gotta expect profit taking which always leads to a bit of confusion for a bit.

End of the 2nd quarter approaching too so can expect the professional traders to be looking to bank their profits for the quarter and earn their bonuses. Last two weeks you can expect to see some counter daily trend moves whilst its going on but get ready for the daily trends to resume start of July as those same professional traders try to get their money back into the daily trends.

makes no difference to me as the 1 minute will follow them whether their banking or investing, just didn't quite happen today, close but not quite...

Can't see any much going on now so will call it a day licking my wounds as about 1% down for the morning....

{image} What a stupid day today is
Yes a bit tricky today and I was trying out my bank half leave half to run strategy but just ended up with half size winners and full size losers so ended up negative for the morning. If on the other hand I had been orphan hugging the full size would of been a winning session, for the bank half hold half to workout I think you have to catch the sessions runner but the EUR strength didn't follow through. Never mind will see how it pans out for the week trying to catch a runner..

Meanwhile I thought I'd have a quick go at this perfect break and retest of yesterdays low just targeting last low as wrong time of day for a runner...So Orphan hugging this one..

Oh the ones that get away are so big......

Desperately wanted to buy this top trender GBPCHF as it pulled back to yesterdays high but thought better of it as wrong time of day just before NYO so let it go..
