EU starting to erode just a little..not looking to cover just yet, I would like this one to make me 200 pips before I let her go.

I really should let this keep dropping, I bet I will regret covering.

Cover at 1.3130 (if/when) equals 220 pips and flat..

Great call there WALLSTREET, basically sold at the the top there.  gotta love that

I went with the news trade on that 8:30am friday employment no. It worked but I bailed with only 25 pips. It ran almost 150 in 90 minutes.  You did the right thing to wait out the run up and sell........great entry

Well I missed the top by 150 pips..and I imagine most would have bailed, but the way it had moved and the USM had moved so much, I thought the odds would eventually be with me and it worked out.

Now flat..gotta find a new trade..

That CHF trade just cannot catch a break..starting to break away and then the stupid market reversed on that garbage FED news.

Man I should have shorted the EU.Yen over 113.50 again.

Dang..

I was going to short the EU last night even though the price was where I covered last..it gapped down early session and I didnt think it would recover and it didnt, rather dropped another 100 since.

This market reaction was what I expected yesterday, the FED saying they noticed a recent slowing more than expected..

Yeah that fake pop yesterday made for a bunch of good buys/sells...FXinsider said they thought it would be short lived...guess he was right...

Need CHF to push up into mid 106s and close there to give me a sign of life but it already looks tired...dollar index up to 82.34 i thought for sure the trade balance # would hurt me this morning....-49.9Bthey were looking for -42B....

Well the USM getting kicked offset that number for sure.

Short term chart on the CHF looks pretty good, but you are getting close to that triple top test on the 4 hr chart.

If it breaks that gap down leg over 1.075 on July 1st you might be in business.

The way that the USD is soft against the stronger currencies, risk off currencies makes me question how far it can go here.

You need the Swiss government to make a comment about stopping the CHF run, that is about the only thing that could dramatically improve things quickly.

The further the USM falls, the better for you though..

Shorting gpb/usd.  In at 1.5573, tp at 1.5150.  Bounced right off the 78.6% fib retracement on the down trend on the daily chart (wish I would've gotten in there).  My tp is at the 50% fib level of the current uptrend.

lol

It seems like it huh?

I could have averaged in about 50 lower or so but I didnt..currently long from that area, and it is currently up 30 or so..I want 100-150 on this trade since it does not return the same as 100 pips on the EU etc..

Anything up with you?
