That's OK. I like it! This is part of the job anyway to relax and interact little bit. Chinook

Did you think about living in Buenos Aires? There were some mostly positive discussions about it here at ET. Man, a breakfast for "8 ticks" is kind of steep. Did you trade when you were sailing :) Hopefully, I won't repeat my past mistakes and be able to consistently earn a decent living...

I think it's becoming obvious that there are stops over 1.2250 because it keeps selling at that level. So if the 1.2250 level is penetrated, stops will get busted perhaps up to 1.2260 level and then new buyers will jump in lifting it to 1.2280-1.2290. This is preventing me exiting my long with a...

You're a very short term trader. I'm not sure if the news help you at all besides giving you a bias and perhaps limit you. But overall you seem to be doing fine. There seems to be sellers at 1.2250 spot. If that gets busted perhaps we'll see a 20-30 ticks pop up. I'm still betting on it. Chinook

Gringinho, Are you from US originally? Where are you in Brazil? Couple of my friends are going to Brazil in a month. One of them lives in Miami and has been to Brazil several times. I'll definitely visit your domicile once I become a mobile "laptop" trader. Maybe we can hook up and you show...

I'm obsessively holding onto my long. I let go 18 pips of open profit all the way down to 1 pip from my stop! Damn, how many times my stops got busted by 2-3 ticks, today was an exception :) Chinook

I'm long for now. It's kind of weak though. 6 pips stop, 2 below the daily low. No target. Chinook

Did you hold on to your shorts from late yesterday? I was shaken out before the session end and stayed flat during US overnight. It's though to predict what EurUsd will be doing next--It's like a psycho girlfriend :) Chinook

I was trading index futures ES/NQ before switching to FX futures. I guess I like Globex :) I definitely like the moves in FX compared to ES/NQ. Chinook

All this action today and only +5 ticks for me :) Oh well, I had some good gains in the trades but sacrificed them for hopes of larger trend moves. Chinook

I missed the long entry during the dip after FOMC announcement. I was still deciding to go long or short. I was also waiting for at least 5 mins for things to settle. There was a small window of opportunity. Man then it popped up like there's no tomorrow! Good job. Chinook

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a retrace down to 1.2280... My first short at the top got nuked with about 6 pips. Now holding onto second short after FOMC... Chinook

I'm getting too tired--I couldn't sleep well last night. Time to take a nap. Otherwise, I'll start taking trades to keep me up! I'll be up for the FOMC mania but I'm not sure if I'll trade for the rest of the day. Happy Trading :) Chinook

I wonder which exchange these FX options are traded at. I took a look at CME website and it doesn't look like the options mentioned are CME products. Chinook

I couldn't help myself but entered in a short trade close to the top. But I think this is a "healthy" pullback here. Stop is at breakeven currently so the question is to run or not to run with 7-8 ticks of profit....I'll wait little bit more and see. Chinook

See my previous posts from last Wednesday-Thursday. Chinook

Good job. I made 22 pips on one trade. I kept my stop 3 pips looser than what I was supposed to. Damn it, I'm not going to use my brain next time I trade, I'll just follow the plan! Chinook

Well that's my secret, he he :) We're trading the Euro FX futures at CME. Volume is reported for each trade. Euro FX futures is the most liquid FX contract at CME and spreads are lower. I'm also working on my "mental balance". That's why I'm only trading the EurUsd futures right now. Chinook

Regarding the exits. Yes, (when long) if the top of the range is tested on lower volume then I usually exit. But now, the bottom of the range is rising up so I have a feeling that we might spring up. It's quite fuzzy right now. I wouldn't get fresh long here but I'm still happy to trail my...

A trader after a bad trading day :)
