ordered cancelled on euro now breaking up

and welcome dave, thanks for the post and good luck with the trading

 

[davechilde]

EUr/USD now broken up, but pleased to see my off piste EUR/JPY going well. In fact while typing this it's just had another push north to +37, so given the poor start to the week on other strategies yesterday, I think I'll put the 37 in the bank to make +39 for today.

 

[davechilde]

Contrary to normal outcomes greed came up good this time. Rather than taking the 37 I put a 5 pip trail on it and got out at +47, so +49 for the day so far.

stop to b/e

stop to b/e

Out for +0. Considering the lateness in the day, i had decided to cash in if it reached 11482, yesterdays high but i blinked and the bottom fell out. Someone, somewhere must have said something...i'll find out what it was after tea...

I know it's before the Londond start, so outside Pocrel's rules but I've just taken a short on EUR/USD based on a break of the 6.00 -6.30 pin.
The reason I took it outside the rules is that it was a perfect pin, reversing in and out of a strong s/r level from yesterday afternoon and from my entry point (1.4401) my stop is 18 pips, but S1 is 50 pips away, so r/r of nearly 3-1.
But currently -9 on a pullback......

 

[davechilde]

How stupid do I feel....
Set my initial T/P at S1 circa 50pips. London opened and it started falling fast, so removed my T/P, and felt quite smug when it sailed through S1, on it's way i thought to S2 where I would happily take 100pips.
Nearly cashed out when it slowed at 75pips, but greedily hung on to have my protective stop at +20 hit.
A win is a win, but I see it more as at least 30pips given away.

Worse still I took a short on GBP/JPY which was 0.9 pips from S1 at +19, now showing -16. So from having the chance of an easy 69 pips before 8.30 am, I will be lucky to stay in the black on these two trades. Must learn to manage my stops with more discipline !!!

gbpusd long

 

[davechilde]

On my broker's platform GBP/JPY came within 0.003 of touching the pivot in the 8.30 -9.00am bar. R/R is 1/1 or just over, so is anyone taking it?
(I'm already in it from the pin in the 7.30-8.00am bar.)

Just broken north, so last pin invalidated, just home my earlier one stays intact.
