Damn, I really have to work on changing my opinion during the trading day! The Yen rallied another 120T over night after I covered! Damnit!Quote from Scientist:
Wow. 1,200+ contracts went long at the market on this bar, it's all over...
Holding JPY longs here with firm faith in the land of the rising sun.
Hitotsu! Makoto Nomichi-O Mamoru Koto!
I am sour about this one, but then I guess that's just greed creeping in. I can condole myself by saying I took enough gain to buy myself a new car. Or something like that. Ah f*ckit.
Baruch, to answer your question: Of course I never went short! I already explained that to Jayford here: The uptrend was way too strong, and unless I see a clear reversal sign, I won't take a fade! Retrospectively, you can now see exactly why I meant what I said.
Would have kept my position by a hair's breadth, but got scared out and lost that gain to better and more informed players...
GBP, as said, was covered for a tiny loss.
EUR was covered for a mediocre gain.
Overall, it was a decent day though yesterday. If you add up all the trades I posted here, you'll see. I also took a little bit on ES and the ER2 on top of that.
I think I should post less here though. I don't think it really serves anybody disclosing my positions, and I'm getting too much PM which I'm feeling uncomfortable to delete / not answer. For those who read this: PLEASE DO NOT PM / EMAIL! Ask questions on this or another thread, and I may answer, also many others can answer. There's nothing community-productive about private messaging. Thank you!
And besides this is Baruch's thread, not mine... I want to see more of Baruch's stuff, he's got a great system!
Flat now, waiting for a place to go long just about anything. I suppose that's a bear-sign for the greenback.
Scientist.
P.S: I suppose if you consider that +27 on the EUR equals +6.75 on the ES, the gain wasn't all that mediocre at all. All a matter of perspective.
