Balls Of Steel - trading volatile pairs

Hi everyone.
Placed my first trade of the week, LONG GbpNzd @ 2.1148
After touching bottom (2.04) in mid-April this pair has been slowly climbing back up, apart from a dip back to 2.08 at the start of May. I expect steady, if slow, movement up, possibly getting more volatile as we approach the Brexit vote.

The ‘Balls of Steel’ way!!

Buddha hug!!!

Not so slow after all, 100 pips locked in already and still rising :slight_smile:

…and out for +140 pips.

…and back in again when price dropped to 2.1251

Nice call. Looks like it’s all aboard for the 2.15 train again. Missed it myself. Was in a GBP/AUD short from 1.97 which made me a little and erased the loss from being short DAX this morning (whoops… bad call).

Thanks buddy. Ive now got a Stop in place 40 pips into profit. Hoping it continues upwards but at least I’m covered should it reverse

Over 2.1400 now, highest level since March. SL moved up to +100 pips

GbpNzd just dropped 200 pips in almost no time, virtually no volume, must be down to Wheeler’s speech. Taken the opportunity to buy agsin @ 2.12, playing the long game

“NEWS Housing and dairy risks to financial stability
New Zealand’s financial system is resilient and continues to function effectively, but risks to the financial stability outlook have increased further in the past six months, Reserve Bank Governor, Graeme Wheeler, said today when releasing the Bank’s May Financial Stability Report.”

Wouldn’t have thought this would boost the NZD

That’s crazy… it had finally busted that 0.68 level and all was looking bearishly tasty for us :slight_smile:

I have been rather busy assisting my partner today, who gave birth to our daughter… Just home

now to catch up with things (sleep, mostly)…

So I missed all the forex action :slight_smile:

An unforgettable day…

:slight_smile:

Congratulations PipMeHappy, many more sleepless nights ahead.
Have you decided on a name yet? Pipette perhaps?

Very best wishes to all 3 of you

Good morning Eddie!

Pipette and Mother Pip are fine and will return

home today…

Sleepless night awaits as Baz said, so I

made the most of it…

I was looking at my partner’s unborn

baby’s heartbeat charts the past two days

and caught myself thinking they made an

excellent trading range ;p Mother’s uterine

charts during labour/contractions looked

like a NFP Friday several times over :open_mouth:

Seriously, what an effort it takes to get

us humans into this world… Mental!

Many congrats PMH. Fun times ahead! Going to be following in your footsteps in a few weeks time myself.

Wonderful, Tektolnes! Congratulations in advance!!

Finally back over 2, 12 again.
Onwards and upwards, eh PipMeNappy? (ps, hope you like your new name)

Friday the 13th and ive ended the week with 13 wins, no losses, and 9% account growth.
Have a great weekend everyone,
Special mention for PipMeHappy, best wishes for your first weekend as a new father. Yout life will never be the same, and I mean that in a good way. I know I loved being a new dad and im sure you will too.
