Day 6

Trade1
Entry : Short 0.01Lot USDJPY at 112.313
Actually, i wanted to go Long. Shorted by mistake. I closed order immediately upon entry at 112.303. Gained +1pip.

Trade 2
Entry : Long 0.01Lot USDJPY at 112.315
Target : 112.601
Stop Loss : 111.799

Trade 3
Entry : Long 0.01 Lot USDCHF at 0.97071
Target : 0.97301

Trade 4
Entry : Short 0.01Lot AUDUSD at .079522
Target : 0.79199
Stop loss : 0.80101

Current use of leverage : 8%

Hey dude, are you open in all of these at one time?

The Ever Interested VIPER

Yup, What do think? is it a good idea?

Actually, i’m more confident with Long USDJPY. But because i’ll be working, thus won’t be able to look at the chart to make any entries. So my Long USDCHF and Short AUDUSD trade, i may have entered the trade somewhat early.

Trade 5,
Entry : 112.172
Target : 112.315 (Trade 2 entry level)
Stop : 111.799 (Trade 2 stop level)
I decided to Long another USDJPY. My initial bias for USDJPY is bullish and USDJPY is doing a small correction, expecting price to bounce off ema240

Current use of leverage : 11%

Updates to Trade 5 Long USDJPY, Hit target +14pips.

I closed my Trade 3 Long USDCHF at market execution manually at level 0.97293. It was 0.8pips away from my target. I was worried that market might just turn on me like the USDJPY trade in the morning. I was aiming for 112.601 but market decide to turn around at 112.520. It just kind of irritate me.

Current use of leverage : 5%

Right now, i saw Adnan’s post of buying GBPUSD. I’m contemplating to enter as well, but seems to contradict my own position. Thus, i’m still thinking.

Trade 6
Entry : 112.059
Target : 112.180 ( average point with Trade 2 )
Stop loss : 111.799 (same as Trade 2 SL )

Current use of leverage : 8%

Thats the stuff. Trust in yourself. Wonder whats adnans thinking about that trade at this moment

Hey dudes, GBPUSD bottom of a range, looking for a pop back to the top. I did the same last night on the Yuppy.

The Ever Adaptive VIPER

I agree with that, but awesome oscillator histogram bar is showing me an open wedge formation. GBPUSD price action is uncertain to me at the moment.

Most importantly, the US index Futures is showing me that USD is quite strong at the moment and may be going up. Notice the breakout of pitchfork price channel and Divergence in price vs True strength indicator?

I think i will hold on to my Long USDJPY. I will pass for now on the Long GBPUSD that Adnan proposed.

The reason you are seeing uncertain movement is a function of the price action, stuck in a range. With range bound pricing, if you are a trend trader, you are best to stay on the sidelines, until you understand how to trade a range.

The Ever Helping Out VIPER

Yup, you are right on that one. I’m more of a Trend Trader. I guess i will stay on the sidelines for GBPUSD this time round.

Update to Trade 6 Long USDJPY, I manage to hit target and gain +13pips.

Update to Trade 2 Long USDJPY,i’m changing my target from 112.601 to 112.801. Reason being US Index Futures is showing me potential DOLLAR Power Bullish breakout. Just formed this conclusion after i attempt to find a reason to enter a Long trade for GBPUSD, unfortunately, i was unable to convince myself. I’m aiming for USDJPY Daily R2 level.

Trade consideration,

  1. AO breakout
  2. Price trading above 3 Alligator lines as well at both EMA240 and EMA480
  3. US Index Futures illustrating bullish sentiments for the dollar

Trade 7,
Entry : Short 0.01 Lot GBPUSD at 1.35109
Target : 1.34999 (Fibo 38.2% level)
Stop loss : 1.35401 (Immediate 5min Swing High)

Trade consideration,

  1. Weaken bullish AO histogram
  2. Price seem to bounce off ema240
  3. My bias for USD is bullish

Bingo! Trade 7 hit target in 13mins, gain 10pips. :smiling_imp:

5 Winning trades so far


Actually 4 winning trades, 1st trade of the day was an error.

2 open trades at the moment, Long USDJPY in the red & Short AUDUSD in the green.


Use of current leverage : 5%

Trade 8,
Entry : Short 0.01Lot GBPUSD 1.35157
Target : 1.34999 (Fibo 38.2% level)
Stop loss : 1.35501 (Major level midpoint)

Use of current leverage : 9%

Update to Trade 8 Short GBPUSD, Hit target gained +15pips.
Update to Trade 2 Long USDJPY, Hit STOP LOSS! Lose -51pips.
Update to Trade 3 Short AUDUSD, manually closed at 0.79510 gained +1pip

Reason for closing my Short AUDUSD is mainly because my Long USDJPY hit stop loss. I felt particularly unlucky. I think there is a need for me to re-assess market conditions. My initial judgement was wrong. Need to chill a bit, look thru the charts and browse thru the news for more clarity. Fortunately, i was available enough to execute some hit and run scalping trade to offset my overall risk.

The Long USDJPY losses bite a big chunk out of my overall gain. :pensive:

Trade 9,
Entry : Long 0.01 Lot NZDUSD at 0.72631
Target : 0.73101 (Fibo 38.2% level)
Sell stop order : 0.72499 (Major level midpoint)

Trade consideration,

  1. Price close to 1HR chart Swing LOW support level. Expecting a bounce.
  2. Daily average range for NZDUSD is 78pips, current daily High Low range is 76pips. Price correction expected.
  3. 1HR Awesome oscillator bearish histogram bar weakens.

Day 7

Trade 1 of the day,
Update to previous NZDUSD, position got hedge at 0.72499 level.

After reading Jerome’s Trade journal. I decide to give market profile indicator a go. And i lost 3 trade immediately. I guess my understanding of Market profile is not quite there yet.

Trade consideration, upon seeing price breached the peak of the red colour activity at 0.72730 level. i closed my 0.72499 Sell stop at 0.72761 and lost -26pips.

Trade 2, i quickly entered another Long NZDUSD at 0.72748, the next level of red peak activity was around 0.73120, but i was only aiming for 0.72901. Which got a stop loss at 0.72499.Lost -15pips I thought the price wouldn’t come back down to the support level.

Update to my Trade 9 Long NZDUSD at 0.72631 from yesterday, i place a stop loss at 0.72499 as well and got stop out as well. Lost -13pips

Total losses accrued from the 3 NZDUSD trade was -54pips.

Trade 3,
Entry : Long 0.01 Lot EURJPY at 132.458
Target : 132.901 (Immediate next major level/ red peak)
Sell stop order : 131.899 (yesterday daily LOW)

Trade 4,
Entry : Long 0.01 Lot GBPUSD at 1.34785
Target : 1.35201 (edited) (yesterday’s Highest red peak activity)
Sell stop order : 1.34499 (Immediate Major level midpoint)

The yellow colour activity represent asian session
The blue colour activity represent asian Euopean session
The red colour activity represent US session
The peak of the horizontal mountain represent highest amount of price exchange taking place. In theory a level of significant S/R. My trade consideration is base on the level being breached and aiming for the next level of S/R as target.

Trade 5,
Entry : Long 0.01 Lot NZDUSD at 0.72515
Target : 0.72901 (Immediate Major level)

Ya, having fever now. Should rest now

@alphahavoc old mate. Take that market profile indicator and bin it. It will do nothing but confuse you. K.I.S.S!

:sweat_smile: i’m having fever. Sick. Need rest.

Hopefully, GBPUSD and EURJPY continue to crash. Only then will i have opportunity to release the hedge.

Current of leverage : 0%

Ps: i guess i duno how to use the market profile indicator. A tool is useless when you duno how to use it.

Get some rest dude, and Market Profile cannot work with a financial product that has no central exchange, because, you can’t know how much is being moved at any one time.

So get some rest, and like I kind of told someone else, if you were working for me, and you were infectious, I wouldn’t even let you in the office. So, if you were in NC, go home, get some rest, C U Next week. :grin:

Hi AH,

Are you feeling how I think you might be feeling?

If I have understood your trades right, there is a load of sincere virtual tea and sympathy coming your way. Or have I (hopefully) misunderstood?

The annoying thing is that good chance that not only 132.80 but 133 will get hit within the next 24 hrs.

It’s the problem of timing and tight SL’s, not bias.

Yes. I think you know how i feel right now. I’m going to ride this one out. Base on the average monthly range i have calculated. The stop i have set should hold out in theory. The mean level i have calculated should arrive by end of next week. I’m taking a break, doing a set and forget approach right now. Throwing my laptop in the storeroom for now…
