  1. GBP/AUD - stop moved to 1.6718
     
    #61     Sep 9, 2010
  2. 2nd target hit on GBP/AUD - profit approx 45 pips, approx 0.45%
     
    #62     Sep 9, 2010
  3. USD/CAD final closed for 30 profit, at approx 1.0353.

    Long NZD/USD at 0.7258

    AUD/NZD closed for loss
     
    #63     Sep 9, 2010
  4. NZD USD closed for 0.25% loss
     
    #64     Sep 9, 2010
  5. NZD/USD - long 0.7264, risking 0.55%

    SO, after another busy day, I have a guaranteed profit of 1%, and depending on how NZD/USD performs, it could be 2%

    I will take half of NZD/USD at 0.7285, and the rest at 0.7310

    Stop at 0.7245

  6. Nice to hear from another trader who trades in a similar fashion.

    you see the same setups? do you take exits if PA looks bad? do you scale out to multiple targets?

    in what way are we similar?

  8. I'm a US trader that for some reason has decided to add spot to regular US session.

    So I am trading an hour before London through US session. I am mainly just watching Eur/Usd though.

    I'll be subbed. Do you have any charts showing what you are looking at?

  9. NZD/USD worked out, but I took the entire position at first target, so I finished the day up about 1.8%

    Now, 7.1% for the week, and over 13% for the month.

    Tomorrow will be light trading, I never trade heavy on Friday... Maybe 1 or 2 trades tops, risking more than 0.5% on each trade.

    We will see how the night shapes up.

    Good trading to you all -
