I started the the week with bullish view of Euro dollar. Since it was testing historical high, I did not jump in immediately. After the sell-off gap in the Monday Asian session was filled, I went long with extremely small position size. Yes, it was extremely small. LOL 😆 . Heck, I was stopped out sometime around Tuesday London session. Cost me -1R… I was still bullish, and I WAS looking for another entry opportunity..but AUSSIE dollar caught my attention, so instead of proving my view of EURO , I switched my attention, and capital, to Aussie.

What can I say? Gav knows how to trade Aussie dollar! 😆 Just kidding. But I feel extremely comfortable, and confident trading Aussie dollar. :-), this is yet another 100 pips Aussie trade.

Here is the…..CHART! Yet, another snake oil style chart. I have no idea why John did not include me in his snake oil salesmen category. I have working so hard to produce this type of trade/charts… Can somebody talk to John about this 😆

Another trade was a Short position of GBPUSD. My target was kinda far. I was looking at the break of 1.96 level. (Was I too ambitious? Uhm….let’s see) I bailed out the position on Wednesday right before London session began as the spike of GBP did not impress me. I decided to bag the small profit and RUN!! 😆

Here is the …… CHART!!

By the way, I am applying Variable Fractional Percent method for my money management recently. I will try to write up something on this topic later.

What a day for EURO! Just as I thought it might be a boring day, I saw something was cooking in EURUSD chart. I went long during London session. This is a classical text-book style setup. OK, again, it is Trader Gav’s text book though. 😆 My plan was to catch the ride when it tried to test historical high again. So, I was looking to exit the position some where at mid 1.58-ish. Yup, it was mission accomplished. I forget the number, I think this is another 100 pips trade. (Maybe I will update the figure after getting my journal done.)

Here is …… commercial-class CHART! looks like a snake-oil trading course advertisement now. 😆

Monday, I had a couple of currency pairs in my box. Generally, I am bullish about Aussie dollar, EURO, and kinda bearish about GBP. I went in for long positions with EURUSD, AUDUSD, and do a intraday short of GBPUSD.

GBP trade was a crap. It was a bad-timed entry. Nothing to write home about. I got -1R on this, smaller than normal R-sized for this trade though. EURUSD was a surprise. I was thinking the trade might be going nowhere, but heck, profit target 1.5800 was achieved during Tuesday asian session. Not too bad for a night’s work, around +90 pips profit. 🙂

Here is….CHART! another trading course commercial-like chart. 😆
