Only one trade on Monday. I went long with Euro , and it turned against me during U.S session, I closed the day with – 1 R loss. It is going to be a busy week, we have U.S interest rate statement, GDP, and the notorious Non Farm Payroll report. It’s going to be a volatile week.
Here is….no, no chart today.
These are the charts that caught my attention. And I will be targeting on these pairs for my day trading.
NZD/USD is approaching resistance area. I might not be trading this pair , or if I do, I will exit around 0.77 if it stalls.

AUD/JPY is coming back nicely. It looks pretty bullish to me. Making higher lows, and bounced from support areas. No question, it is in my list.

AUD/USD. Look at that! Sky is the limit. You must be thinking, it is too high, but heck, didn’t you think the same when it was just below 0.92?

CAD/JPY. Another pair that bounces from support and forming higher lows. I am watching it to swing higher.

Well, the ‘Trading while sleeping’ strategy continues to be profitable 🙂 . Just kidding, nothing fancy. Just put in my trade, set the stop, and off to bed. Exit the trade at the close of U.S session , which is then morning in Melbourne Australia (that concludes a trading day). Basically , the idea is to reduce the time starring on trading screen and subsequently reduce most of the psychological problems of trading.
I made 2 trades on Friday. I long NZD/USD and EUR/USD. I missed AUD/USD entry. Kiwi and Euro were both forming a nice ascending triangle (well, I like this type of chart setup). I went long at the break of resistance level. End the day with Kiwi ,+29 pips, Euro, + 47 pips.
Here is the…………..CHART!
Kiwi

On the side note, one of my brokers continues to surprise me with its spread widening game (You know which one I am talking about! 😀 ). I was planning to close my trades before closing bell of U.S market. However, around an hour before closing bell, I was surprised to see spreads of all currency pairs on my screen were widened, and Euro and Kiwi all having 10 pips spread. WTF. I lost a couple of pips profit because of this. :-p
Here is the ……WIDENED SPREAD.

Have a nice weekend, traders!
Another ‘ Trading while sleeping’ trade. I entered a Long position of AUD/USD around an hour before U.S session started, set the stop, and left it. I closed the position at the close of U.S session. I have increased my position size. End the day with around 41 pips or +0.89 R.
OK, here is the ……CHART!

Not so exciting. I Long AUD/USD , set the stop, went to sleep, and exit the trade at close of U.S market (which is 7am Melbourne, Australia). End the day with +16 pips, which is tiny +0.14 R.
At the same time, I am testing a new strategy in demo account, and hopefully the result is good enough to go live in the coming week.
ok, here is the …….CHART!

So I timed my Long entry poorly. I exited the position with 1 R loss. Basically, recent uptrend line is broken. Wrong now, wait for next entry.
Here is the ……CHART!
