Rate rise on the cards for the CHF. Might look for 20 pips short on the announcement. Nothing more though, it whipped around last time.
 
Thanks to the info here I decided to have a look at the vegas system.
I am glad I did ! :LOL:
Also very near a vegas entry on the swissy.........

Morning all,

OK these trades are as follows:

Cable - stopped out for -44
EUR/JPY currently +27 (although did scale out 50% at +50)
USD/SEK currently +20 (but did scale out 50% at +300)

All stops are at b/even and now looking for new set ups. Gold is looking good for a buy in around 30 mins.

BTW, does anybody use any scanning software to identify set-ups? I was at a friends yesterday and he has something that scans 50 pairs and identifies them for his set up (MA cross on hourly close). Anyone else do this?

OK,

EUR/JPY stopped out for b/e. So overall, made +50 on 1/2 my size
USD/SEK is currently + 272, I have amended target on this to 2428
 
API to go?

Ahhh that makes life a bit easier. API all set up and done me proud today :D

Leaves me plenty of time to concentrate on on our Nordic neighbours who have kindly just cleared this months and nexts minimum income so happy is an understatement!

Now if I could only learn how to trade the markets instead of using these MA's to find shortcuts. :eek: back to UK stocks and shares to try and get me head around this price and volume malarky :confused:
 
I have been filled on the following trade:

SHORT 1.8870
Stop 1.8915
Target 1.8750

Still short on USD/SEK from 2963 - currently +339
 
Yep, bought a book and CD thing of Amazon at the end of last year and it took me 6 months just to get my head around that!

Credit to you. Which broker are you using for that? Did you use Java?

Scratched this Cable trade for -9. Not happy with price action yet. Need it to settle more before I go short.

Hi zuke, who do you trade USD/SEK with? Oanda don't offer it.


I SB it with Capital Spreads at the moment, but will soon be moving to IB.

Close out first lot for +89.
Move stop-loss on remaining 2 lots to 1.8780. (b/e)

EDIT: 3-pip spread included, so the +89 is a net figure.

Lost my nerve!!
bail out second lot on 1.8900 for +120.

Excuses:
01: 130 pips is about the average daily range.
02: ChowClown seems to have found the ideal exit at 16:00.

209 for today. ( 209 / 3 lots = 70pips, assuming third lot goes out at zero. )
 
NOK, will it keep puching on? It's gained about 900 pips today against EUR and has had a look at 8.3000 already today.

Its with Oanda and yep, used Java... I'll mail anyone the details for a one off fee off only £2'500 plus P+P. *

All done now and now 11 weeks ahead of myself in income terms... anything else now is beer money :D




* That was a joke before you start laptop1
