Ivan's Trade Thread, part II

Quote from Gringinho:

Very skittish now - did several hits...
Secured 2 trades for 2x50pips...
Will let last one ride... secured a +20pip for it with a stop at 132.85
That will give me at least 120pips from this. :)

... and at that moment it jumped up another 50 into +100pips for that trade, but secured at +60 now - i.e stop at 133.25
for at least +160pips total for those scalps.

If it doesn't hold 133.50 well, I will kill it as high as possible

lol, money for old rope, wouldn't it be nice if they were all this easy?
 
Stopped it at 133.45 ... and that was a +80pips ...
3 scalps for total of 180pips


Timing was ok... :)


EURJPY more erratic on its way down again ... will just chill for the rest of the session .. my longs are red, but healthy :)

Both at roughly €-18k now...
But I just made €27k on those scalps... :)

Hehe, it is just so frantic trying to type and doing scalping - it is very scary at such fast moving markets.

LOL - talk about good timing for those scalps!
Both my longs are roughly -30k now.

I hit it again .. but only one for €1mn now... 132.40 target 134.40 ...
Wow, it takes off AGAIN! :D

Secured at 132.60 for stop.
oops, that was close .. stop at 132.50 ...

Lost confidence - killed it at 132.72 ... +32pips more :)

Perfect wasn't it, even if we do say it ourselves :p

I find trading and posting helps when it's like this, type a couple of lines and the trade's up another 30 pips, it's a useful distraction!

I'm done for the week, left an order to Buy Usd/Jpy @ 99.00 and a T/p of 101.00.....well I can hope can't I?

And what's all this '30k, 27k, 1m, 10m' about, wtf, why so small are you trading your Grandma's pension or something, lol :p
 
Now I'm done .. not getting in any more on scalps today .. even with the trace down again...

Clearly they are just clueless on directions there now - and just shaking about...

That just gives more comfort about a coming upside - although I will need to see some "good news" too... hehe


EURUSD is dragging down the EURJPY - but I'm not worried - will look for direction from Japan.
 
I think some of the drop was because German finance minister Peer Steinbrück said they weren't committed to a UK-style bailout for now. That is no wonder when property prices in Germany have not been run up like elsewhere - but when adjusted for inflation actually had net negative price development...

Doh - are markets just dimwitted? :p

cabletrader,
I prefer just adding to posts sometime - because if not it will be pages and pages of mini-posts .. hehe.
 
Lookie, lookie... 134.50 even on the EURJPY :D
But I guess I've already had a few days good running with scalps...

Those scarypants can't hold their water into the weekend - with EU and G7 meetings, as well as Japan and China protesting against markets... it looks like it will be a very profitable weekend and next week.
