LiveFX Trades/Setups

Just the one trade today - got hit on my trail on a nice KnovaWave Fulcrum spit - took 3 pips and waited for the Australia v. Italy match. For those who don't know Australia lost on a penalty kick 4.50 into injury time - it was a dubious and unsportsmanlike play by the Italian and a very dodgy call by the ref and as for the wanker on ESPN who called it a great play by the Itlaian in milking a fake penalty it says it all why that guy is nameless and faceless - what a turkey.

Give me strength!

Just put one order on late a short at 1.2604 but no fill - a few others in the room where giving them 20, 25 and 27 pips respectively - nice work :) Pity I did get it - I felt robbed - twice in the one day :)

Just a few trades in the afternoon - missed a few fills on EURCHF and EURUSD this am by a pip or too and then waited for Paulson's testimony.

Not really pushing to hard with the illiquid pre Fed and WordCup marketplace.

Some nice set ups but got hit on the trail wicks - keeping it very tight as I said with the World Cup and FOMC chatter.

Just 13 pips but not too unhappy about that.

A difficult month but at least consistent - never would have thought he World Cup would take so much liquidity away.

Well my first day trading in July and volume though still light is coming back - have to wait until next week after the Italy-France final for normality one suspects.

A day of being hit on trailing stops - had them pretty tight given the holes out there - unfortuante as a lot of 20/50 point runs hit the trail just prior to the run.

A lot of emphasis on the US jobs in the AM especially with the hoopla with the Markets latest obsession - the AFP prediction number that came out Wednesday - through in Mr. Kim - can't help thinking of the latest South Park movie everytime I hear about the missiles.

Nice set ups on the Eur crosses developing on multi time frames so keeping an eye out there.

Profit = 19 pips

Well - back to normal trading today - had plenty on so wasn't at the trading desk too much and jsut a few scalps here and there.

THe tech guys worked on a few new features which should help the trading and also a few swing scenarios some good some not so good - but had to test them.

Be interesting if August is as mellow as in past years as I am sure many traders took their vacations in July for the World Cup - we will see I guess.

Be back posting the blog and here from tomorrow and also July's results for you all.
 
Was out all day yesterday and only partially in today. Will be full time from tomorrowas we have been tweaking a few things and will be accepting trials to the floor again tomorrow - remember the criteria test. :)

One of those days it just didn't carry through on the Forex. We all had a very nice day trading the DAX, Russell and S&P - yes Bob even trading the Nasdaq - what a slow August will drive you to in Forex!

Just the one trade today - was shy on two EURUSD 80/20 Spits though. Just traded classic 80/20 MM 2-8 on EURJPY on A-B off all time new highs. Got 28 pips on the play - did go higher but nice reward all the same.
