USD/JPY
5/8 cross on 15min for 0 p/l

+12
Took this off a double top on the 1min point and figure, at the peak of this it was a +39. Again I should have took map or more.


A few trades a little late in NY, the 1min was channeling, then spiked on news. I traded the news channel/channel break. Need to get a little more better with the mt4 trading platform. Turned a winner into a 23point loser. At the peak it was +23 then turned it into a -23. wtf? anyways reminds me to take my map on half my size. Looking at the chart there were a few places to enter, at the bottom of the channel a 5/8 cross occured on the 1min, then the first news fib at 38.2%, then the news fib I took outside the channel.

short e/y
nice trade for me
+20 or so
+60

Faded the short term move into the long term direction. Took 15pips right away, then let it run, then took the other 15 or so pips as it came back.

Missed trade

Well that missed trade ended up being the spot trade for the NY session.

Going from 1.3617 to 1.3258 which comes out to 359 pips.

Bah...I was so close to pull the trigger. I should have checked the long term charts 1 and 4hr. It clearly showed a descending trendline in the 1hr that was overlapping with a daily pivot and weekly pivot zone with pressure from the 1hr 55 and bollinger band going into the long term trend.

I have got to wake up at 300am(HI) to begin to get a feel for the market so I can look for the spot trade that occurs between 4:00am-4:36
I also must remember the pre market whips caused by hedgefunds.

Ah well I chalk it up to world experience and atleast I caught a nice trade in the London session locking 15pips in for half my size and the other half at 22pips.

Been having CPU problems

Sucks lately, my cpus are not up to par.
My primary is down and I am only able to use my secondary and tertiary, which I was finally able to get my correct layout up, but the cpu is slower and only has a limited amount of memory.

Did a demo last night, locked in 15pips, then let the rest run and it showed signs of reversal so i took the rest of the profit at 22pips.

Here's a missed trade this early NY, the missed trade is up 100pips right now...wth. Well it seems like I am back with my cpus, this weekend I am also going to try to buy some a new cpu, not sure if I am going with a new desktop, as I trade from two locations, home and work, so I may have to get 2 new cpus. The laptops keep crashing on me, it's the long hours runnning.
