  2. well, I sold the GBP.USD for a small profit

    to that makes me

    short AUSUSD
    short USDCHF
    long USDJPY

    why, you might ask don't I just put on AUDCHF?

    that's what I'm trying to tell you

    when I put it on it was 4 CHF to 1 AUD

    I covered 3 at 953x

    then I covered the last one at 9545

    then I put one back on at 9553

    I just have it on because I'm not sure how long I want to get USD

  3. oh well, I just put back on the GBPUSD. So now I'm right back where I started, but at better prices and with a few profits already booked.

  4. Atticus if you care to share, what's your average holding time on trades and how many markets do you trade?

  7. am at a new high, thought I had a little more to go, but lost patience

    swapped out the short USDCHF for some short EURUSD

    and took the other side (at a loss) on the USDJPY so now I'm short.

    so that makes me short AUDJPY and short EURGBP

    (usually I sweep, but it's going good, so I bumped my miniscule unit size a little)

  10. that worked like a charm, I woke up and had been filled on the gbp at 5647

    nothing else has moved much

    now it's just a matter of putiing on small positions and averaging down

    by the end of the day I will be 1:1:1:1

    so I guess I'll be going into the weekend
    short audjpy
    short gbpchf (swapped out the eur for other reasons)
