  3. Shorted Eur/Jpy at 149.23 one lot for now

  4. Shorted Eur/jpy at 150.10 second lot
    Avg. short 149.67

    This can go even higher, I only have one more lot to spare for this trade, and that one will be above 151.00 if forex crime ring manages to push it that high.

  6. This was the loser of the year for me, right now deep in red.
    I have decided to close eur/usd long at 1.2724 for +230 pips.

    Will keep gbp/usd short (-450 pips at the moment). This is now the only open position I have (just one lot) and will short more above 1.92 if seen. Market is pricing in - not one but two rate hikes by BOE, I think that's just crazy, we will see in few days what they do.

    Hello TM

    Nice trading in general - shame about GBP to spoil your month.

  9. Hi Arco,
    If you scroll back a page, you will see this was part of synthetic eur/gbp long trade (long eur/usd and short gbp usd)
    I have already taken 230 pips from eur/usd long but gbp/usd is 400 pips in red, so total minus around -170 pips.
    I don't have stop yet, its the only trade I have so plenty of margin to play with. I can buy eur/usd again on a dip and hope for eur/gbp to go higher or stick with shorts and add more above 1.9200. We have nfp tomorrow and BOE rate decision on Nov. 09, so I'll wait and see what to do.
