GBP/JPY Trading 2008

Realised i took profit too fast. Think this could spill over into major selling in the asian session.

So short 215.02 st 216.3 tp 212
 
I have target profit set at 214.75 . . . just missed it, but I'm sure it will get hit


EDIT: lol, just missed target by I think 1 pip, gotta love that spread . . . headed to lunch
 
Quote from atticus:

No offense, but you're posting this offset 77 pips higher and nearly 90 minutes after 215.58 printed. 216.35 when you posted your last at 10:28 EDT. Why the delay?

In fact, GBPJPY had already passed your 215.58 exit when you posted your 216.92 short at 9:20 EDT and the price was not revisited, yet no mention of the short-cover at the 9:20 EDT post. Strange, and oddly convenient.

Nice try but completely wrong. Check the T & S from my broker. Others may vary. 9:23am my system closed out the short at 215.58. There is no way in the world I could have known that while I was typing at 9:19am.

If you were playing along you'd know I run GY fully automated.

Got up at 8:50, checked my overnight activity, posted it and made coffee and took a shower. Reported the closure after returning to my office. After the post I had a 11:15 tee time, got back at 4:45 and guess what - now short from 216.02. Amazing right. The purpose of automation is to not be sitting in front of monitors all day ... I never do. In fact I'm out enjoying life. As I said, based on the fact that I cannot report auto trades in real time due to the fact that I am not there most of the time. If no one believes my trades it means less than 0 to me. If no one believes my system can accurately indentify turning points and manages to carve out 70 - 80% of a trend that doesn't bother me at all. I also suffer losses but they are very small as the system finds the right entry point. That's life.

Bullshit, but I am gratified you took me off ignore. GBPJPY was trading under your fantasy short-cover before your 9:20 post. Nice of you to post the entry after the price has met your exit parm.

Thanks for the explanation. A BS response is better than none at all. For the record, I don't give a rat's ass if you're trading the Grail. I take issue with your fantasy, hindsight fills.

Thanks for the time and sales, but it doesn't change anything, as I had pricing. Post your blotter instead and I will be happy to issue an apology.
