gbp/jpy a little short on pull back {image}
lets hope it get moving... concerned action at 88 area would be better entry and your stop is going to get hit there. don't be afraid to give it another go if it moves up on you and gives you a new action. if you are around for it.
Be bullish on you.

Thanks G
Yes stopped out . I new it could be trouble when entry bar closed as BUEB. better entry would be at daily pivot or overnight low, if I get PA.

This is a great example that summarizes all trading on low timeframes. There was nothing wrong with Das' trade, he went with the move, waited for action, reduced risk and took the trade. But this would be the most aggressive entry and when you trade you have to recognize the entry you are taking and the associated risk so you aren't surprised at your outcomes if you get a run of bad trades. A good hint is to look at where your stop would naturally be for your trade. If it happens to fall where a logical entry would occur, then you are in the risky trade.

Look at price now, new action, and I can get a 96 entry. This would be the mid-level trade. You get less of these opportunities, but your risk is less. Wait for the 161,20-40, lowest risk, but least amount of opportunities, they can pay very well, but psychologically you miss a bunch of other trades that pay. So, you have to match the entry you are taking to the type of trade it is. That way you can match your brain to the likelihood of outcome and you won't drive yourself crazy trading forex.
Be bullish on you.

First post updated. GU options on the weekly.

Bonus pairs would be long AU and short EA on small time frames with a move in the corresponding direction.

I went ahead and took 61 pips on the GU weekly short. Moved the other half to BE. I am going to keep the 4680 marked for the days and weeks ahead. If it doesn't get there this week, its a place I would be interested in a short during a big news spike or something somewhere down the road.

Didn't have a chance to update during the week. On GU, took a half of a half before news. 280 pips, it reached 300+, so 140 to the front page tally. The last part was taken out BE.

The bonus pairs didn't give much. A decent AU trade long on Thursday during US. Same for EA, decent shorts from top of the range on Thursday. Mainly a week of letting things sort out and back at it next week.

Let me know how your week went

I just updated for the upcoming week in post 1. No trades for me on GU since I traded it last week, but I will be watching GU again on a continued move up.

Bonus pairs: Again, these are for low time frame and to be traded each day if my bias and the actual move are the same.
AU - I'll keep an eye on it for longs again

stopped out of new short gy loss 2x14 pips, as I had tightened stop from 25 original pips.
On reflection entered far too early, should have waited for retrace to 160 and then look for PA to go short.
