Okay I'm all caught up. I will check again at the next candle open as there are no new entry setups. I see I missed the Euro, Swissy, and Cable setups earlier today. Those three trades would have offset my loss by more than a little, but ...

And here I was complaining about Japan! So here is the story. I placed my trades knowing I would be away from my computer today and saw there were no scheduled high impact news events. I thought I was doing fine with my stoplosses moved a little ...

Two trades running. Usd/Cad short +33pips Aud/Usd long +26pips Both are trend following trades and will hold them as long as I can. Looks like I missed two entries(Longs on the Gbp/Jpy and Eur/Jpy) but that is okay as they are counter trend trades.

Skracor's Thoughts and Journal of Trading

All three trades moved just far enough against me to knock me out. Reentered Usd/Cad Short on new H4 Signal. Stop Losses hit Usd/Cad -28pips Aus/Usd -42pips Eur/Jpy -40pips Shorted Usd/Cad

Skracor's Thoughts and Journal of Trading

Very quickly this candle there are three trades taken. Short Usd/Cad Trend following Long Aus/Usd Trend Following Eur/Jpy Counter Trend

Skracor's Thoughts and Journal of Trading

Immediately after posting something in the market let go and I was up 21pips and closed out the trade. Reasons for closing: Running late in the Asian session(at least until the LO), counter trend trade, M5 in oversold territory. I think it may go a ...

I took early stock of the H4 charts and didn't see any opportunities for entry. My Usd/Jpy counter trend trade is still running. At the moment I am up 8 pips thinking it should go a little more but I will not push it too hard.

Skracor's Thoughts and Journal of Trading

I don't like the whole idea of the Japanese overnight call rate being tentative. It's like they are waiting to see if the Yen strengthens any more tonight then lower the rate to bail themselves out. I don't see that helping them in the long run ...

Admittedly my progress has been slower than I would like, but I have promised myself I won't give up. Good to see you around and kickin!

Skracor's Thoughts and Journal of Trading

Shorted Usd/Jpy from M5. H4 overbought looking for a retrace.

Skracor's Thoughts and Journal of Trading

Another H4 candle has come and gone with no friendly signal for an entry. I should have held my Yen trade.

Skracor's Thoughts and Journal of Trading

Explanation of what I am thinking with this strategy: I have plotted four MAs. 8 smma high 8 smma low 8 smma median 35 sma median You will notice none of the MAs are on the close price. This makes them more stable and they will not 'run away' from ...

That was a fun Eur/Jpy trade. Shorted at 124.57 exited at 124.74. Reasoning H4 was overbought M5 went into a down trend. got price confirmation and used a 17pip stoploss.

Skracor's Thoughts and Journal of Trading

Two possible trade entries coming up. I will be watching the close of these candles very closely. Eur/Usd Long Usd/Chf Short

Skracor's Thoughts and Journal of Trading

Usd/Jpy trade closed profit of +56pips. No new trades to be taken at this time.

Skracor's Thoughts and Journal of Trading

There are no new H4 entries at this time. My Usd/Jpy trade is still running and, I am up 30pips at this time. I will try to identify my trades more clearly in the future. For example: this Usd/Jpy trade is counter trend when I am looking at the ...

Stopped out of two trades. Stopped Eur/Usd -42 Usd/Chf -36 Usd/Jpy trade is still going strong and I am up 40 pips.

Skracor's Thoughts and Journal of Trading

Trades are still on and starting to move my way, so far Usd/Jpy is the best performer. There are no new trade opportunities according to my rules this four hour period.

Skracor's Thoughts and Journal of Trading

With a little over an hour left on the first candle from the opening of my trade I am not yet in the money. I am only down 30 pips so that is not bad. I want to see this next hour move my way or my chances of these trades succeeding goes way down. I ...

Skracor's Thoughts and Journal of Trading

Entered three postitions on the close of the last candle. Long Usd/Jpy Usd/Chf Short Eur/Usd I realize these are all dollar Long positions. Perhaps one of the other countries will be slightly weaker than the others giving the advantage to my ...
