Will take 50% off at 55 if offered and several pivots lined up south between the RN and 20...could be interesting.

50% @55 filled. Locks in 0.80%.

Edit: 10:57 - DOW futs ticking up, so EU intraday trend north may resume soon. Will exit final lots if momentum begins to tick up before b/e.

stops to 73.4. 0.99% locked in. Will take another lot off @55 if offered.

Edit: 11:13 - 55 filled. Stops now @72. 1.22% locked in. Want those pivots to magnetise price south now. :)

Bullish piercing action developing on the 15min now, so likely to TP on final lots at the close of this candle if PA continues and will then consider another long...busy day :) Having said that, a long this close to daily R pivot unwise, as only 10 or so pips in it. If this current trade gets stopped that will probably me done for the day as US elections kick off this afternoon.

Flat. 1.22%, wk: 2.43%, mth: 13.11%. Unlikely to trade again today.
 
Morning, will be busier at work today so i'm unlikely to have time to journal trades - likely to be trickier today what with FOMC. Good luck.
 
...quick update as it's lunchtime - took an EU short earlier hoping for all out exit around this morning's demand between 00-07. 1% risk.

...another busy day at work, so amended the strat accordingly today, taking hrly signals and entries off the 15min. EU has been the first to signal and counter-trend but working out atm with stops at b/e, so no stress.

Entry 4246, risk 1%, initial sl 4265, tgting 4190-95 initially...

Will consider all out exit once the current 15min closes as strength north returns...
 
hah, Oanda has locked on me now, so current TP and SL orders are in play...i don't think it's stopped out just yet...

Edit: Oanda back up and stops now @18, locks in 1.47%.

OK, as it's nearing 6pm and home time for me, i've exited at 07, to give a tad over 2%. 2.05%, wk: 4.48%, mth: 15.16%.
