  3. I got that +35p on the EURUSD, but the size was crazy :)

    03:27 -- stopped the EURJPY at +78pips - I don't get this anymore... I'm too tired.
    03:28 and just as I say that and do the stop it jumps to 135.50...

    That's it - I just let go +52 more pips just because I'm tired .. hehe.

    03:30 -- the trend is upwards - at least 136 on EURJPY - but it might be just a little struggle or a wild breakthrough ... argh, and writing that makes me want to enter again.

    PS! The EURUSD trade was 10mn... I will not do that again - it was just silly. A tired brain...

    03:34 posting like this is silly .. but I'm glad I'm going to get some sleep without any trades to think about ... the long EURUSD from 1.3478 is acceptable to swing a lot...
    Will wake up tomorrow and see what happened.


    PS! 1.3540 is a very strategic stop ... they will be gunning for that level, so watch the action.


    03:41 EURJPY 134.57 ... I couldn't keep my promise .. €2mn gunning for 136 and stop at 132.50 - I already scalped more on craziness, so it doesn't even matter if it gets stopped ... (uhm, throwing away money?)
    03:43 .. what a sucky entry ... my brain is worm fodder... oh, and size on EURJPY is €2mn with a €-7,800 at -50pips right now...

    03:45 confessions of an addict ... will watch a little. :p

    An addict that doubles up on a hunch ... to average down the entry ... that is very stupid again. The stupidest one can do, in my opinion... but ...

  6. Hehehe,
    my doubling up - and I'm net positive already at ...
    wow, too fast moving .. brb

    03:52 ok EURJPY €4mn average entry 134.34 and target 135 for +66pips... then it's over with this madness. stop is 132.5
    :)


    03:53 .. and then it heads south .. keeping me up and more tired...

    EURUSD is scary.

    03:56 it seems they are all on 5min bars .. crazy volatility... c'mon 135 ... just like hitting the Balckjack table this .. nothing intelligent - just gambling.

    03:59 listening to Morcheeba - Trigger Hippie triphop music on streaming Groove Salad Interent radio .. 134.81 ... and I need convincing... 1min bars now on EURJPY :)

    04:00 CET .. g'damn ... can't turn an eye even for 10-15 seconds to type...

    04:03 .. out on 134.58 ... that was +24pips ... argh.
    I suck at this.

  8. I just stopped for thinking some moments .. the action is toying around ON EURJPY and EURUSD ... whiplashing. I think that is indicative of the creeping lower we saw up to this situation and some counter-measures into the market - which made it so erratic.

    That's it - I think it will go higher - but conditions are volatile and erratic right now - i.e market tension is building - some will get tired, just like me - and a trend will emerge from this. A tug of wills it seems....
    Big yawn
    G'night!
