Target 2 now hit - 2 lots taken off for +55 pips. Remaining 6 lots will run to next target (477) So, I am now:

6 mini lots
Long 388
Stop 388
Target 477

...should be some action in 7 mins or so.


thanks for that chow was going to close at 423
but your post saying some action in 7 mins
so I waited and closed at 443
made 20 points extra just because of you warning
thank you
 
hi HB, no worries, although it could have spiked the other way :) I find keeping an eye on the reports schedule for the day very handy. I use the dailyfx.com calendar.
 
Down Down deeper on down

it would be so nice to finish the week with a 293 hit don't ya think

Hmmm, got a paltry 5.5pips out of the figures (Oanda's spread was 8 pips at news release), then had to leave for work.

Sure miss trading fulltime when I see that nice fat 70 pipper bellyflop :(

Was wondering when 23 hours trading, 1 hours sleep was gonna catch up with you Marm! Funnily enough, because of the widening of spreads near news by the brokers, I tend to SB major news events instead.
 
Speculative long @ 360, Target 420, Stop 345

Told ya there'd be some weird trades today!

Hey! I got 4 hours of sleep last night, only at 8 a.m. some construction dudes started banging away with pneumatic jackhammers outside my window :devilish:

Now I have that 80s Captain Sensible song in my head all day:

When I woke up this morning I was feelin' fine
But this cat starts banging man what a swine.
So I called reception but to no avail
That's why I'm telling you this sorry tale.
It went bang - I said shut up

It went bang - I said rap up.
Well I'm aware that the guy must do his work
But the piledriver man drove me berserk.
He said captain
I said wot

He said captain
I said wot

He said captain
I said wot

He said captain
I said wot d'ya want

Once a lifetime
twice a day
If you don't work you get no pay.
