Weekly wrap up and some rants

by Gav Leave a Comment

This is a relatively quiet week for RDT (read: Really Dumb Trend) system. It does not generate any signal until closing hours of Thursday U.S session. Short signals acrossed the board. I am currently shorting EURCHF, AUDJPY, Long USDCHF. I shorted EURJPY , unfortunately, got stopped out. I did not take another EURJPY short trade after judging my exposure to Yen and EURO now. I feel YEN is going to create trouble for me again.

Another system (I haven’t named it, let’s call it ‘I-hate-forex’ system now ๐Ÿ˜† ) is running in live account now. But, in micro account at the moment. I can see a lot of improvements to be made. Right now, it is long USDCAD, and short EURGBP. Looks good. It shorted USDJPY which was a crap. Yen just doesn’t synch up with me.

Anyway, crazy people are still Long USD, so I had to long USD in order to make profit from trading. Although, it is still stupid to hold USD, I reckon. ๐Ÿ™‚

No doubt, I am a trend follower. Long term, or short term. I just can’t , just can’t , just can’t and again, just can’t do contrarian or counter trend trading. I don’t have the mentality to trade in this style. I can give you some fancy technical analysis rubbish to show you reversal is coming, but I will fail miserably when trading them. That’s just me.

Anyway, process is still slow. Trading is still not really taking off for year 2009. I have to work harder now.

Other side of my life. My day job is not stable (well, in fact, it has never been..:lol:). Rumours are nothing but budget tightening again. I am not sure if I will still have my job next month. In fact, nobody knows. Let’s see how it works out. This is out of my control.

By the way, did anybody open the dam of Twitter? I can see a spike in my twitter followers. Welcome to my world.

    Remember that you can always hedge your long call position by selling a further out of the money call at the same time. aka Bull Call Spead. January 17, 2009 by Alexander Shlepakov.
