been a poor week for me trading, lack of discipline cost me let the profits run is all i can say

anyway not alot of swing trades around canr see anything on the weekly charts and my last 2 trades the pins never broke so things have been slow on that front

well its that time of the night 9pm london time except i am in Los Angeles which feels a bit wired been 1pm for the gap trade

lets see if we get any gaps on the open so we cant play the gap close

EURUSD is opening up higher. Exactly the same levels as before. I think i'm gonna sell it and aim for a lot lower this time...

leaving the rest run move my stop to the high 9878

gap closed complet on eur/usd

all out for +18 on the other half as i need to shoot out ofr a few beers and cant watch the position

but it was a nice little profit tonight

so +19 on eur/usd full size

half +10 on aussie and +18 on the other half

gap still needs to close on aud/usd

hope you made some money brett no need to sleep on it, ideally we want the gap to close before 11pm otherwise we might get a bounce

:clap:
 
gap just closed on aud/usd

so if you stayed in for the whole thing

+29

and eur/usd

+28

usd/jpy is starting to look interesting on the montly chart

we have a 3 drives pattern

abcd completion at the 1.27 extension

previous major support within in range (as its a montly chart its never exact)

rsi showing divergence (falling bottoms, rising bottoms on the rsi)

you could just buy now (stop below the monthly low)

or wait for a chart pattern to get in

i will look at the weekly and daily for an entry ideally a pin bar break to go long
