Playing the odds - EUR/GBP — Thanks kharvell. It initially took hours - mostly on the repeated days, which, I'm not sure is all that useful. Now that I have my spreadsheet pretty much worked out the other currencies will be much easier. Below ...

Playing the odds on the Cable — I've done some analysis on the odds of various events happening on GBP/USD daily data. I have no idea if anyone will find this useful but I do and I thought I'd share. I will be doing the same thing on a few ...

I started using this trading model last week and made over 150 pips... mostly on GBP/USD. Yesterday was roughly a 14 pip day... the max potential would have been over 35 for me but I'm still working on my exits. Life got in the way so I missed the ...

I almost fell off the page. After missing the boat a few times and not having as much time to pay attention to the markets I finally entered a position in the AUD/USD and GBP/USD. Both short and both stopped out with a loss. 41 pips for the AUD and ...

The day after my loss with the GBP/USD I did re-enter. I sold at 1.8959. Currently my stop is set at 1.8820 and will probably move it down a bit. If I hadn't been stopped out earlier I would be gaining an additional 40 pips but I should never feel ...

I sold the EUR/USD at 1.2762 with an initial stop set at 1.2805. I have since moved my stop to 1.2752 - guaranteed 10 pips. 60 or More if the trend continues. I'm thinking about a re-entry of the GBP/USD but I'm wondering if I'd be better off ...

Well, after sitting on my hands waiting the GBP/USD to exhaust itself on the way down and avoiding the entry on it's rise. I finally saw my opportunity and sold GBP/USD at 1.9000... and was stopped out at 1.9060 for a 60 pip loss. The ...

Technically I gained .7 pips but for all intents and purposes I'm calling it break even. I got gouged on the rollover going short on the EUR/JPY to the tune of 5.3 pips. This may explain why the currency pair has been driving up for the last several ...

Sold EUR/JPY at 149.58 with an initial stop at 149.91. Have since moved my stop to BE. I wonder if the GBP has flattened out for the next couple of days. Time will tell. Manchild

Bought AUD/USD at 0.7532 stopped out at 0.7495 -.5 pip rollover. Well, Can't win them all. I entered this morning and was stopped out for a 37.5 pip loss (after rollover) negating a little bit more than my JPY gain. I just can't seem to get the ...

I was considering a re-entry on GBP/USD. In part because in the past I've avoided entering trends midstream and sometimes that just seems silly. The trend looks strong BUT... I have been doodling with Fibonacci retracements and that pair seems to be ...

Evidence that it is indeed *possible* to make significant gains by holding onto your trending trades. I know there's a lesson in my last GBP/USD trade. Probably more than one. The most obvious lesson is riding the trend to it's conclusion. The ...

I was going to ask about this mornings BOE Interest Rate Statement but coverage has already been started on a different thread. It's almost as if everyone was extremely disappointed that the expectations were met. I'm posting the link more as a ...

I was stopped out at 116.41 from 116.09 (plus 4.1 pip rollover) for a 32 pip gain. I'm glad to have a couple of decent wins to take the sting out of future losses... they will inevitably come... +32 pips +4.1 pips (rollover... I may have to loose ...
