G'day all,

Just entered the following trade:

GBPUSD long @ 1.8894
SL @ 1.8855
TP1 @ 1.8905
TP2 @ 1.8935
TP3 & exit @ 1.8955

There is GBP news due in just under 3 hrs...closer to that time SL will be tightened...if price goes sideways or struggles to break tunnel I will most likely exit trade prior to news.

Cheers,
Art...

G'day all,

Took a LONG trade on EURJPY @ 149.11
SL @ 148.74 (just below the lowest low for the day)
TP1 @ 149.27
TP2 @ 149.60
TP3 & exit @ 149.85 (this will be a new weekly high, so tight stop will be in use after TP2)

Cheers,

and upcoming news.
Total: 0

Art's total for the week was: +893 over 9 trades.




And I apologize, I am not as organized as Art is, I did have my numbers all recorded and have lost/thrown them away. I do have the ending number though.
Note, one trade, I did lose bad, it was GBPUSD for -135 pips amd I did have another loss on one of the pairs for -15 pips. All in all it was a good week for me too. My ending number of pips were +832 pips
And that is figuring in the losses. My numbers should be pretty close to Art's becasuse we do make the same trades. The question is, are we at the computer at the same time?
Let's see how this next week treats us.
