short eur/short usd

O

oldtime

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner

here's one you can stay with for a while

no stops

but take your losses like a man

so that makes me

aud.usd long
eur.aud short
eur.cad short
eur.gbp short
gbp.usd long
usd.cad short (this one is the problem)

avoid jpy, it's got it's own deal going

not sure how I wil trade it

other than adding to winners (maybe, probably to losers)

and getting back even

had a dream

adding to winners was good for me in the dream

so I'm going to focus more on adding to winners

the funny thing is, you think I'm kidding
 
Largest notional exposure is short EURAUD:

I know that aud.usd is sure acting like it wants to go to 0800 (or parity), not sure which will come first

short eur.aud was my bread and butter all last summer

you know what they say about lightning striking twice

thanks for the warning

I'll be careful
 
well, that was nice

I think I tried this before

man it's bad when that eur moves against you

I'm still 1:1:1:1:1:1

might just stay that way

at anyrate, all the move today was in the eur

usd is just sitting there
 
so I'm flat now

I've been doing this long enough to know when they offer you that kind of profit

just take it, you can sort it all out in the mix

so yeah, I like getting back in here, short eur/short usd

at this point, doesn't take much brains

just try to buy a dip or sell a rally

later, maybe it will develope into something

Given DX contracts are heavily weighted with Euro.. and I'm not sure of any Euro currency index that's not heavily weighted against the dollar... how are you visualizing or pricing out what a 'dip' or peek is on a short EUR and short USD directional trend? Just monitoring the individual pairs involved in your legs?

I know a lot of traders who build out custom indexes with their own weightings to chart their baskets, though I'm not aware of any software for TWS that does it.. just some metatrader stuff.

well first time out, I just put them on all together at the same time

now I'm legging back in

like right now, the only thing that got hit was long gbp.usd and I won't add to that until I get everything else back on
 
and I got filled on some long aud.usd at 545

it's really a mentally stress free way of trading

I know I am a seller of the eur, just looking for what I think is a better than average price

doesn't have to be the high, just better than what it has been going for

and right now, now matter how good a price you give me on gbp.usd, not interested, already have some
