Today was one of the days it was just hard to focus - Australia v. Croatia a win or draw and Australia goes through. The world cup has really dulled volume and today it took me into that camp also - tried trading the Aussie and very choppy - not unlike the Football. Though it was all...

I am sure you saw the news Houston got pretty wet - and for safety we shut down most of the servers - no need to it turns out but how bad does it always look on TV these days. Just did a EURCHF set up which unfortunately had too tight a trail on and an Aussie 80/20 Spit The Result was 17...

Relief - sums it up. I had one objective today that was to make sure all the technology was in order and the damage caused by Yahoo was a thing of the past. I concentrated on just trading the Aussie in the morning and was very pleased with the result - nice crisp fills - no transaction...

Today I talked about the World Cup and distractions. A classic day in forced trades and tardiness saw me down for the first time I can remember as I got caught in that post NY slipage buying Euro off the daily 50 - none of this is part of my trading plan. Sometimes you need a wack to remind...

Just traded pre world cup - post US trade report. Some nice Yen moves but the choppiness on the Swiss Franc told me the European players were glued to the World Cup with the Tikos ready to challenge Germany. I also learnt to cancel your near orders as a ton of double fills today in a very...

Some nice moves - still very choppy though and hard to stay in and really benefit - interestinmg wave patterns developing after Monday's dollar bottoming - US Trade numbers tomorrow should really help tell the story.:) Profit = 60 pips Time Instrument Type Symbol Entry Stop Exit...

look back at today and look at what could have been - so many great set ups either exited too early through patience or through too tight stops. Trading like a very corrective wave - but which one? - fun ahead tomorrow as we attempt to decode Trichet and the ECB. Profit = 22 pips Time...

Some nice trades but hard to hold onto - espeically when the JPY far away exceeded my thoughts on the move extent - very hard to hold onto with some severe slippage rushes - seemed to be the one possessed today! Overall can't be too unhappy given today was traded very defensively with a...

The Swiss Trend play played out nicely - covering at 0-8 and -2-8 for over 70 pips. took Monday nice and easy as week will pick up with the ECB this week providing plenty of noise to feed us on. Profit = 74 pips Time Instrument Type Symbol Entry Stop Exit Profit/Loss Trade Basis...

Choppy end to the weak - left with two good CHF set ups on continuation and completed ABC on CHF - the fundamental back drop of KoF and Iran supports also - same pattern of 3 weeks ago for stop test and Euro close. Profit = 35 pips Time Instrument Type Symbol Entry Stop Exit Profit/Loss...

Spent most of the day getting everything ready for the new month - work has exploded here and the problem is finding good support stuff - that is time for another discussion. Just did the EURCHF play that came back and reinstated and one JPY - 2-8. Tomorrow should be hectic with NFP and...

Very choppy and difficult to stay in positions today - had some great Aussie shorts that got out of and traded the CHF which was chaotic with KoF and then all the stements from Ric about Iran. Was a good month with a difficult last week. Monthly Profit = 795 pips Profit = 17 Time...

Just a few trades Friday market was very thin as expected - just held a nice break retest from Falcon in USDJPY for the afternnon to give me a nice little 16 pip fillip. Will be off until Tuesday Morning due to Memorial Day in the US and also it is a bank holiday in the UK so Bob is on...

A thin Ascension day - saw lots of slippage as evidenced by my Euro trades - stopping me out of good set ups or having me get out early one nice trade on the EURJPY - expect a thin day tomorrow as it is all quiet on Monday with Memorial Day in the US and a UK Bank Holiday. Profit = 14 pips...

Today can best be summed up by the 1 hour I spent in the dentist's chair getting my teeth cleaned! The market seemed to be a replica of that experience. It was very choppy and gappy and I had my dollar buy orders one grid away this am missing a classic Euro 80 8/8 spit expecting a figure spit...
