I love these kind of set-ups that top-and-tail the day. USDCAD is particularly good for that.

I took this trade as it took about 45 minutes into the hour for it to move up and then back down through the open. I was content to take a +5 profit. I like it when it move up toward that high quite a bit and then moves down. Often I see very slight upward then it will trigger my trade only to move back up and take out my stop. That is when the market is usually on a one way roll.

This morning trading has been very erratic with abrupt moves in either direction. I suspect just a lot of playing around as there is no news and it is Monday, content with +5 on this one and call it a day, there is a week ahead.

Because I like to live life on the edge I took this trade after it had blasted through Friday's high. Net +5.

Yeah, it's nice to see a good, solid move all in one go.

The market is just too slow this morning, pun intended, and so am I. I got in this EU short at 1.07664. The chart entry should have been 1.07657 so I jumped the gun a smidgin. So far it got as low as 1.07603 and technically should have moved my stop to BE+1.
I didn't as I was asleep at the switch, Zzzzz, as it is very early and.... So now I am waiting to see my fate. My suspicion is it will move to take out yesterday's high there. But one thing I know for sure is the market does not give a hoot what my suspicion is and it will let me know when it is ready, in due time. My stop is at 1.07874.

Update: The trading gods were on my side and the trade did move back down to 1.07597. I moved my stop to BE+1 and was promptly taken out thereafter. Success. So the lesson learned here for me was: There is always a second chance in trading, sometimes. Now I can go back to sleep.

I thought this EU one would go down to defeat but it held in there and got my +5 pips. I shorted at 1.07246, It initially went down about 3.5 but then inched up throughout the hour toward my stop and came within about 4 but turned back down to finish out with a plus, it was educational.
