Isn't it a beauty? Down I would say.

Yes but the tape is up. Some conflict is always part of trading, but it's particularly strong right now IMO. Trading fast and light until it gets better.

Nzd hourly has a pretty nice looking chart. Aud too but it's not as tight.

I like how you get a nice looking breakout setup, then it sells off 25 or more points just to take out some stops and keep everyone honest.

Yep. That didn't look like a nice gentle pullback in aud, Nzd. Sitting on my hands

and why solid trade management is so important, mine is first tp at first structure or 38% retrace of swing whichever comes first and move stop to break even, second tp at 2nd structure or 61.8% of swing whichever first.

Short GBP at .36. long USD/JPY at .21 here. Missed short in aud-- scratched it higher up selling on first bounce towards.50.

 

[Cswim63]

Out of GBP -8. Still holding JPY, aud short. Aud from .36 on the most recent bounce.

 

[Cswim63]

Out of everything for some meager gains. Hey, it's better than a stick in the eye.

Gold just broke 1340. Added to short euro, aud. Already out of GBP from higher, couldn't pull the trigger on a retrace so I shorted other stuff.

Long USD/JPY from .21 before the break
