  2. Stopped it at 133.45 ... and that was a +80pips ...
    3 scalps for total of 180pips


    Timing was ok... :)


    EURJPY more erratic on its way down again ... will just chill for the rest of the session .. my longs are red, but healthy :)

    Both at roughly €-18k now...
    But I just made €27k on those scalps... :)

  4. Reply to my own posts?
    Hehe, it is just so frantic trying to type and doing scalping - it is very scary at such fast moving markets.

    LOL - talk about good timing for those scalps!
    Both my longs are roughly -30k now.

    I hit it again .. but only one for €1mn now... 132.40 target 134.40 ...
    Wow, it takes off AGAIN! :D

    Secured at 132.60 for stop.
    oops, that was close .. stop at 132.50 ...

    Lost confidence - killed it at 132.72 ... +32pips more :)

  5. Perfect wasn't it, even if we do say it ourselves :p

    I find trading and posting helps when it's like this, type a couple of lines and the trade's up another 30 pips, it's a useful distraction!

    I'm done for the week, left an order to Buy Usd/Jpy @ 99.00 and a T/p of 101.00.....well I can hope can't I?

    And what's all this '30k, 27k, 1m, 10m' about, wtf, why so small are you trading your Grandma's pension or something, lol :p

  6. Now I'm done .. not getting in any more on scalps today .. even with the trace down again...

    Clearly they are just clueless on directions there now - and just shaking about...

    That just gives more comfort about a coming upside - although I will need to see some "good news" too... hehe


    EURUSD is dragging down the EURJPY - but I'm not worried - will look for direction from Japan.

  8. I think some of the drop was because German finance minister Peer Steinbrück said they weren't committed to a UK-style bailout for now. That is no wonder when property prices in Germany have not been run up like elsewhere - but when adjusted for inflation actually had net negative price development...

    Doh - are markets just dimwitted? :p

    cabletrader,
    I prefer just adding to posts sometime - because if not it will be pages and pages of mini-posts .. hehe.

  9. Lookie, lookie... 134.50 even on the EURJPY :D
    But I guess I've already had a few days good running with scalps...

    Those scarypants can't hold their water into the weekend - with EU and G7 meetings, as well as Japan and China protesting against markets... it looks like it will be a very profitable weekend and next week.
