LiveFX Trades/Setups

A thin Ascension day - saw lots of slippage as evidenced by my Euro trades - stopping me out of good set ups or having me get out early one nice trade on the EURJPY - expect a thin day tomorrow as it is all quiet on Monday with Memorial Day in the US and a UK Bank Holiday.

Profit = 14 pips

Just a few trades Friday market was very thin as expected - just held a nice break retest from Falcon in USDJPY for the afternnon to give me a nice little 16 pip fillip.

Will be off until Tuesday Morning due to Memorial Day in the US and also it is a bank holiday in the UK so Bob is on holidays also.

Have a great holiday everyone.

Been a very nice month with plenty of adjustments. :)

Wil post some charts later.

Profit = 28 pips.

Just played in the Aussie today as testing new execution connectivities - expected a bit more ahead of Australia's trade report - look forward to some nice set ups into Friday's US jobs report.

Very choppy and difficult to stay in positions today - had some great Aussie shorts that got out of and traded the CHF which was chaotic with KoF and then all the stements from Ric about Iran.

Was a good month with a difficult last week.

Spent most of the day getting everything ready for the new month - work has exploded here and the problem is finding good support stuff - that is time for another discussion.

Just did the EURCHF play that came back and reinstated and one JPY - 2-8.

Tomorrow should be hectic with NFP and OPEC/Iran all over the news so wanted to get much of the month end done as possible.

Choppy end to the weak - left with two good CHF set ups on continuation and completed ABC on CHF - the fundamental back drop of KoF and Iran supports also - same pattern of 3 weeks ago for stop test and Euro close.

The Swiss Trend play played out nicely - covering at 0-8 and -2-8 for over 70 pips. took Monday nice and easy as week will pick up with the ECB this week providing plenty of noise to feed us on.

Some nice trades but hard to hold onto - espeically when the JPY far away exceeded my thoughts on the move extent - very hard to hold onto with some severe slippage rushes - seemed to be the one possessed today!

Overall can't be too unhappy given today was traded very defensively with a result of plus 39 pips.

look back at today and look at what could have been - so many great set ups either exited too early through patience or through too tight stops.

Trading like a very corrective wave - but which one? - fun ahead tomorrow as we attempt to decode Trichet and the ECB.

Some nice moves - still very choppy though and hard to stay in and really benefit - interestinmg wave patterns developing after Monday's dollar bottoming - US Trade numbers tomorrow should really help tell the story.:)
