Of course you won't. There's too much money to be made out there over the next 24 hrs to even think of calling it a day. It's always nice to be able to say it, but reality is, traders don't like to take days off unless they have too..

Truer words have not been spoken. However, it's important to look at it like winning a great blackjack hand. You can leave and take your money, but the table's sweet whispers about how you can hit blackjack again are always in your ear.

Short USD/CAD @ 106.8 << A little late in posting.

*Worse than expected US NFP
*Better than expected CAD employment
*Failure thus far of a daily close above 107...looking for some retrace.

I'm bullish long term but have no problem shorting this down for some overdue catch-up. My stops are set above the weekly high but I'll look to close the position if we get a strong daily close above 107. Targeting 104 right now but will likely scale out earlier. Will move stops to break-even once I gain a bit more wiggle room.

Stops moved to breakeven, also pulled my t/p up a bit to 104.7

Risk free & +115pips at the moment.
 
Short 10 lots NZD.USD at 6750 target 6600 or lower. Stop 6900

Limited bounce off drop from overnight highs plus RBNZ announcement later this week I believe will put added pressure on downside and continue bear trend for this pair. Also looks like FRE/FNM effect has run its course.

Ha, well it was risk free.

USD/CAD short stopped out at breakeven. This was a pretty small position so I wasn't looking to take 1/2 profits until we were real close to the T/P. No worries.

I will take another look at the charts and will be ready to re-enter, this time with a full size position. I need to verifiy that I'm still seeing the setup I want...need a bounce off that mini-top we have going in the 107 area.

Short 350,000 AUD/USD @ 8200 for return sub 81.

I don't like the set up. Closed at 8130 - 70 pips, $2,450.

I have a feeling I'm early, and that we'll see another down move. But I don't have enough conviction on this at this point. Given all the market uncertianty, I'm pushing back and calling it a day. I did well in the last 24 hours.
 
Long aud/usd@8139 stop@8119 target@8227

Using a real tight stop for a bounce off of todays low of 8120. I'll doubt it will hold, but I will do a retest of that long should it get stopped out
