That euro long seemed to work out and as I got up at 9am BST and saw huge spike I decided to close it out for 50 pts. I'm definitely not trading for "fun" in future.

It seems I shouldn't have traded for fun, this could turn out to be mildly costly. I'll have to remind myself of this.

Greetings, how are we all doing? I have bought euro for a little bit of fun. I'm considering trading the Asian sessions these days but need to observe the market more in depth before deciding.

It seems sleep is an expensive commodity these days I've been long usd/cad and big since this morning. Think I might hang on over GDP - it could either be very good for me or something i'll kick myself about. But I don't think it'll have ...

A week or so ago I was looking at betting on USA and Canada to get gold. I could have got 3-1 on Canada and 5-1 on USA, meaning I could bet both and still make money. A bit of a no-brainer but someone told me it's not that obvious as the ...

I think it'll be 2-2 and canada will win in overtime. I'm going to bet on it, when does it start?

This is going down as a day to forget. I completely tilted, got in positions far too big on ninja and wiped out a fair chunk as a result. Couldn't stop myself trading at one point, i'm a bit calmer now, but still a bit frustrated. I hate to finish a ...

I'm rather frustrated at not being long usd/cad earlier. Got back just after data, saw it was pretty bad and have been buying euro since. Not been going great and taken more losses than I should have. Currently long for now, i'll see what it gets up ...

I'm bored of these markets so far. I've clearly been trading the wrong ones and not on cad where there's been some good moves. Took a pip or 2 on a few trades earlier buying euro. Bought ninja and took a handful there. Waste of time really. Hope ...

It's been a crazy day for me. I don't recall how many trades i've been in. Long ninja, long cad for a few pips and nicked a little chunk off euro after data then bought some more after the greece comment came out. Think i'll stop there for the day, ...

Well I took a ninja long at 90.22 only half size, it went ugly and I bought more at 90.00. Got out for a few pips loss overall. Not going to bother with that any more. Got to up my trading game now i'm trying to do 4 day weeks.

Trading's been a joke for me lately I've been in and out of things over the last 2 days and hasn't been doing me great. Been getting long of usd/cad and taking 10 pts of a 50pt move yesterday. Then today I got in about 20 mins before data. I felt ...

I don't know how you get involved this late in the week. I'm well and truly done, 4 day weeks from now on I think. I'll spend friday doing shopping/poker/ enjoying life/volunteering/taking advantage of bookmakers/being a bum or just burning money ...

I had a hell of a day. I'm not trading fridays again. After CPI I bought cable, but it wasn't good so I closed it for about 30 pts loss. Then I saw it moving back so I bought euro and cable. Took some profit on those. Then figured it would be worth ...

Yeah, I noticed the fed stuff. Crazy day, at least it's moving. Maybe i'll just buy cable and euros big and mop it up tomorrow Watch skeleton Pippy, UK is going to get the gold in it. For some reason I can't figure out, the UK is always strong in ...

Cut the cad for 20 pips loss, long eur/usd. Edit: 14:40 (GMT) cut eur/usd took 55 pts on it, should have been long on cable too like I wanted. Another 50 pips in it potentially but i'm happy to take this. Now back up on the day.
