Stopped out of GBP/JPY shorts. In hindsight, obviously, wish I'd taken profit sooner. But definitely psychology playing a role... wanted to get the account over $6k and though there was a good chance we continued lower. Didn't happen.

I like focusing on USD-based plays going forward as it seems that's what the market is focused on now. REALLY like shorting USD/JPY and will probably add more to that position. Currently in a long scalp in GBP/JPY but not planning to take it for much.

I was asleep

But I looked back at where I would have placed TP's before bed. I had mapped it out but didn't end up putting them in place because it wouldn't have "been enough" had it hit (they'd have hit perfectly). So regretting that a bit, but not going to stew over it.

My biggest weakness is trading in conditions that aren't heavily trending. I have the patience to hold positions, but it takes me time to switch gears and realize I need to be taking profits much more frequently in conditions like we have now.

Basically same thing happened here. Before i nodded off i peaked at my trade, I was way in the green and way overconfident that GBP news would be bad. Boy was I wrong. The funny thing is I been telling folks that the UK economy isn't as bad as the news is letting on, wish I would have heeded my once advice for once. Tough day guys tough day

Yeah, it's tough seeing unrealized gains get chopped off in a big way. But hopefully you had some gains locked in, yeah?

I did, but trust me... not much solace right now lol

I actually didn't.. See I jump on the first part of GJ trade late and then monday it took that nice dive. I never ratcheted down my sl, basically greed got the best of me. It was a perfect storm and completely kick my butt watching it smash through every bit of gains and then some.

Im now short UJ from 100.37, the 21ema on the 1h is proving some nice resistance so I put a stop above that.

*GJ- Im not a buyer YET. A move up above 131.75 and a strong close above that price would definitely get me thinking about joining the bulls.

Sorry to hear that, bro. Hopefully just part of your tuition and a lesson learned.

I like the USD/JPY short... a lot. We're actually short from almost identical levels... mine is 100.387 averaged. I'm not sure what level the 21 ema comes in at, but I like stops above the old blue support range we've been talking about for awhile now (at least above 101.10).

More thoughts on USD/JPY in today's roundup: http://www.forexmademillionaire.com/...undup-8162016/

I wouldn't be so quick to even be thinking about longing GBP/JPY. I know it's tough looking at that pair right now because it likely has you all twisted up mentally. But the reality is we're still below the 100-hour SMA which has proven solid resistance for awhile now. So I'd need to see PA at least above that to move me from bearish to neutral (still not bullish though).

Again, more on that in the roundup: http://www.forexmademillionaire.com/...undup-8162016/

Twee did.

It's ridiculous. Apparently someone complained. Likely GJscammer.

I can't even reply to Twee via PM because I can't send more than 1 PM every 24 hours. Can someone please send him the following for me:


Hey Twee,

I really do not want to be a commercial member. I'm not actually asking for money or providing a service, the donations I receive through the blog simply go toward maintaining it. Regardless, I could see how that'd violate your rules or make others here angry.

What can I do to NOT be a commercial member? I'd really like to continue on FF as I have the last 9 years. So please tell me what I'd need to do.

I can stop blogging, remove my link in my sig, and stop posting urls. Would that suffice? And apparently I can only send one message every 24 hours so it'll be some time before I can even reply.

Join the club and good luck trying to get this status reversed.

I've been fighting my Commercial Member status for over 3 years against deaf ears....

Oddly enough I can still post in other Commercial Member threads so this is the first time I've been able to post in a Geppy thread.

Haha, I guess there's a silver lining then for my new status.

It's pretty jarring... PM's cut off, not able to post in all the threads in interactive trading, and my TE is not working for some reason (again).

Not sure at this point if I should just embrace it and carry on as usual or work to have it reversed.
