  1. Stop moved to 1.1002.

    When I was on top of my game I would have liked to roll this to the weekly. Unfortunately I'm in profit-defending mode as I'm not in tune with the market as much anymore and can't get a good read. It will take time.

  4. I made a mistake. That first order was on the GBP/USD

    The GBP/USD would have triggered at 8:15 am, the EUR/USD at about 3:15 am. So in EUR/USD.

    I'm not persuaded that this is just a holding period within an uptrend, so I'm tightening my stop down to 1.4260. I may revisit it later tonight and close it after thinking it over.

  5. Reading your log and I can tell you one thing based from my own experience. Get away from the noise of day trading. And stick with long term trading.

    Long EUR since Jan of this year and holding. Target 175

  10. The last order should have read "long", not short.

    New Order

    Long USD/CHF
    Trigger: 0.7326
    Stop: 0.7180
    Cancellation: 0.7180 or Thursday 5:30 pm
    Risk: 146 pips = 1.99% of mark = 1.00 risk point

    Record: 3 wins, 12 losses

    Cumulative risk points: -2.96

    Normally I would think this trade is foolish if not an outright waste, but the intraday signals look amazing. This leads me to believe that the trade has the potential to be a major intraday, daily, weekly, and even monthly reversal. If any percentage of that is true, I intend to take a chunk from it.

    This will be fun. : )
