Welp, took profits on the Aussie and got stopped out on the Euro. Wash. The Euro bulls just don't want to give up an inch.
The charts looks great, but I don't have the right "feel" for any trade right now. I need some more time staring at the book, tape and signals. It seems like a down EURUSD day, but we're in a range for now; toggling that 1.3300.
Two scalps and I'm slightly positive +2 ticks. The first was "accidental" and although it gave a profit at first, I had to do some other stuff and did not set the adaptive stop to profit .. yuck, got stopped at a loss aftert that - but it of course went inte what would have been a profit again. Confusing trade a little, the last scalp made me sweat a little as I got in early - in the middle, or triggering, a move. Now, today again, I see my entries were quite good ... got to watch again. I'm bull USD today - bear EURUSD as I said.
6JH5 ... wow .. 1520+ contract on 0.009593 .. That's a little big! edit: and it got hit with around 800 ... !!!! edit2: taken 1000 now ... all gone .. wow.
Again, a fan-tas-tic day for Ivan and the Aussie. I'm getting scared now. This is too easy. The EUR isn't making sense to me so I've stayed away. But the Aussie... Yummy!
All the hot air ran out of the JPYUSD after the Big One . The effect on the EuroFX is seemingly range trading as well.
Having difficulties deciding short term right now, but for the day it still seems probable of lower lows for EURUSD, higher for USDJPY. Running some big ones on USD daily "strength" would seem interesting, but like things look now - range trading and chop seems like the theme. USDJPY at high for session is telling -- and 105 is pretty amazing given the situation a few days back. Nothing has changed that much though, so it shows the shallowness of these latest moves. The EURUSD seems reluctant to give up much ground still though.
Just made three more profitable scalps on my buddy again. I'm done for the night, before I get myself into trouble. I have a short on the Euro open at 1.3320 with a TP at 1.3240 and stop at 1.3350. I'll let it sit over night and hope it works out. Night!
Have -6 ticks right now on roughly 7 trades. Pretty lousy. But after a couple of glasses of daily red wine, I'm seeing it much clearer now and I even was -12 ticks. I guess I got into a little overtrading back then a little - changing bias very fast - and trading very fast. Not the best thing to do in choppy waters with big lurkers. I'm stopping as soon as this last ticks are rounded up and commission to boot. Just my nerve getting the best of me today - although it has been a long time since I was negative for a day. I'm probably tired of all the mental strain by the telekinetic excercises yesterday. It's even warmer today, so I guess the earth moved the wrong direction too ... Good and steadfast entry on that EURUSD, Ivanovich. I'm thinking too fast for comfort today - when there really isn't anything more to reflect over.
