Well here it goes if I start loosing this is tabu.


Well my eurusd reached it profit target of 1.3220 but I was a sleep at the wheel and Currenex doesn't have OCO orders so I missed it. Got unlucky on that one when I got to the screen is was bauck up trading around 1.3233 so I set the order to BE then ADP came out and pushed it up just enough to take me out at BE the rest is history. Other wise it was a great day and good way to start off the New Year.

Made a few, lost some, and got real lucky (-:

Well I defiantly wasn’t expecting a better than expected number but what do I know. Anyone who knows me knows I don’t trade the news. I may already have orders on but it’s not to catch the spike (-: and today I got a lot of luv from someone’s market order on the GBPJPY they made around NFP. FX is made up of people biding/offering usually around the news specially NFP people pull all their order right before the release I keep mine on cause there usually pretty far out there sometime, but the market is made up bid/ask and if you’re the only left and some hits that market order button they will get the next best price even if it is 300 pips out of the money. My point is I had bid on the GBPJPY at 225.89 and got a partial fill I closed it immediately at 229.02 no reason to look a gift horse in the mouth. I wasn’t planning on attaching any more statements but if I didn’t on this one you wouldn’t be leave it so I have highlighted in yellow for ya.

Well today just wasn't my day started off with catching the wrong bus on the GBPUSD only to watch it at the end of the day run up and reach my profit target of 1.9380. I must say those hurt, they hurt a little more when there really close and get stoped ou by one 1 so at least that didn't happen today lol. I had the mojors set for $ weakness so I ran a small hege w/ the USDCHF which didn't work out. Then to top the cake AUDJPY came down to it my stop only shoot back up 70pips back near my entry point, but Mama said there would be days like this.

I think i got out of the gate a little to fast so wanted to give MrTrend a chance to catch up...

Someone let the $ bulls out today. I only needed about 9 or 10pips to reach my euro target and its probably going to bounce right off my stop and be back at my entry price in a few hours but that just how it goes some times. Lucky for me some news trader gave up a few extra pips during todays CPI (slippage)

All I have to say is chop chop. I thought we might get some action in one direction or another so again I placed a small hedge but my long was triggered on the exact high only to get stopped in the chop... I'll be happy when the mkt breaks out of this range.

Well we knew it had to break out in one direction or the other. So my GBP short that was up 100+ pips last week ended up getting stoped out. Which I'm sure a lot of you are thinking F#$% that, I would take the 100pips. But I have to stick to my rules cause you never know. It not how many pips you make today or tomarrow it how many you have in 90days ect.

Was today a hard day for everyone or was it just me, LOL? I guess it all started to go down hill after the AUD data you see that move. Then I took GBPJPY & EURJPY trains south but they both decided to make a small trip north to stop me off, before continuing to my destination. Then I missed my CHF target by 2pips. But I can't really cry to much cause I still made a few pips (closed EURCAD)
