Trade of the day 20 Jul 2010: $GBPUSD short

by Gav Leave a Comment

This is a pretty straightforward trade. Looking at hourly chart, cable was coming to a resistance level and price rejections was observed. I went short around 1.5283 (though I wanted to get 1.53 as entry..but..anyway..). Two profit targets were achieved with last portion of position was closed at 1.517 level.  Potentially, cable might head to 1.51. Well, let’s see.

Here is the CHART!

Trade of the day 12 July 2010: $EURGBP Short

by Gav Leave a Comment

My internet connection has been extremely unstable and crappy today. I am in fact taking additional risk by continuing trading 🙂 . Anyway, this is a pretty straightforward technical trade. EURGBP was hanging around Friday’s high, with failure to make it above 84 level. Short position was entered at 84, two profit targets were achieved, while the last one was taken out by the abusive price action around New York noon. The details of how I managed the position, you might want read my previous post on trade management.

Here is the… CHART!

Trade of the day 09 July 2010: $EURUSD Short

I shorted EURUSD at 1.27. If you have a look at hourly or 4-hour chart, a bearish rising wedge was formed. After observing EURUSD struggled at 1.27, I pulled the trigger. And, what a day. 3 profit targets were hit.

Here is the CHART!

Have a great weekend!

Trade of the day 07 July 2010: $USDCAD short

by Gav Leave a Comment

I was going short of USDCAD and long AUDUSD, however, Aussie order was not filled, missed the move. Dang. Anyway, I thought USDCAD trade was beautiful, and is worth sharing here. I went short after price reached the resistance level. In other words, I was waiting for the pull back to complete and the sell off to resume. I have two profit targets completed, and one still trailing. Looking at 1.05 as target now.

Here is the CHART

Trade of the day 30 June 2010: $AUDUSD Long

by Gav Leave a Comment

Hello from Jakarta, Indonesia. I will be trading from here for the next couple of weeks. All right, back to business. I was looking at AUDUSD to rebound from 85 level.  It did, however, it did not meet my final profit target, and, hell, I made an unusual panic exit today. Not impressed by myself.

Anyway, I thought the chart looks beautiful and it is worth sharing. This trade was off 5-minute chart, as I didn’t find a better stop level in bigger time frame today.

Here is the… CHART!

Trade of the day 25 June 2010: $GBPUSD short

by Gav Leave a Comment

I have made some mistakes this week, well, stupid mistakes. Anyway, I think  one of the essential trading skills is to learn how to pull yourself back after making mistakes, and bad trades.   Anyway, enough crying like a kid, I am still trading throughout the week. I thought the $GBPUSD short is worth sharing here.

I entered the short position near 1.5 area since Thursday session,  2 profit targets were achieved. This is not an easy trade, price was swinging around before actually moving in my favor.

Here is the…. CHART.
