Two morning short term TF trades; I broke with my rule set due to the spike on EUR/CHF, although this swissy pair doesn't always correlate (short term) with the EUR/USD I closed both trades and will look for other short term opps later today, perhaps US opening...

Details;
Stops of 25 on both pairs
TP of 70 on both pairs

Pips - + 46

Short EUR/USD 13605 entry.

Target is 13515

Stop loss at 13651

Would normally micromanage this without stop or target but I have to go out. Will close the trade just before 9pm tonight if the above isnt hit regardless of profit or loss.
 
interesting action in CHF this morning over 40 pips up in 5 minutes, just after London open(SNB?). I'm still in my aussie short & swiss long btw, but only by taking on a stupid amount of risk, likely to undo a fortnights work here...

Yeah, I think I'm going to stick to WELL established S&R from now on, new territory is a bit of a gamble...
 
i need a 50 pip winner to bring me back in line with my wifes expectations. that is the beauty of trading.As long as you keep your discipline,you always have a chance. 5,6 or more losers can be paid off for with 1 or 2 good trades. Lets see how i get my pips back
 
It's part of experiment. I may be gone forever if I disappear again. Live calls (short term trades) vs swing trades. ( I know that it awfully sounds like ODT.. )

lord knows the truth, I swear :cheesy:

The main reason is I want my trading to be simple so that I can make it complicated in other areas..;)
