Gold isn't backing down. Bad sign for dollar longs.

Would love to short the pound here 1.3429 but no bullets left. Haha

Got stopped on usdjpy. Added Aussie short above . 7570. Added to EUR short above 1.1780. Gold 1291 support. Looks like it's going to break, then it's off to the races again.

Short eur 1.1782. Long Usdjpy 1.11. It appears at this moment that the tide has gone back out. Very tenuous though.

Flat. Just couldn't take the pain anymore. One day rally? Possibly.

Still long AUD from .7599

Still short USD across the board. Got stopped on EUR and Cad longs, reentered. It seems that the tide has temporarily turned. Till proven otherwise.

Short Usdjpy 1.1098.

What do you mean if? Someone is making you trade size? Call the police!

The Australian dollar is a real turd. It doesn't want to go down when everyone else is going down, and it doesn't want to go up when everyone else is going up. And when you're wrong, there's no jiggle to let you out easily. So why do I keep trading it?

Trading is not hard work. If you believe that it is, you'll probably over trade and have a tendency to fight against the market. Keep it simple, trade small. Right is easy, and easy is right.

Going to shut down for awhile. Traders who couldn't wait to get into USD yesterday are falling all over themselves to get out. I missed it so far and I don't want to chase.

Ended up scratching that trade. The Usdjpy went up about as much as the Aussie. Carry trade, anyone?

Long AUD .7585. I can imagine someone still trying to pick a top here, thinking they are trading with the trend. Of course they could be right. I'm betting otherwise

Short Usdjpy 1.1097. Small. Don't want to make a mess of things.

Beware moves which have become obvious, especially the shorter time frames. If you're already counting the money in your head, it's probably an overly traded move. Standing aside is also a position (L. Raschke)

Resist the urge to chase. When you see others doing the same and getting trapped, you'll see that there are some pretty juicy setups which come from this awareness. Be willing to miss moves. Some of my best trades come after i think it's gotten away from me and I shut down the platform for...

Can you say "Reversal?" Sure I knew you could.

Closed everything out on push down/up. Ended up going long a small amount of Euro around 1.1770, out around .86. usdcad covered too soon, just locking in profits after the mistake in the Aussie this am. But it was that mistake which tipped me off to the reversal. There's probably still more to...

Gold should pop here too.
