What I missed, What I made.

So last night I was trading the D2 that happend on the Eurusd. Im still in it and up a lil over 100 pips at the time of writing this. I actually entered a few times on 30min breakouts and took profits on those. I have my original entry still left and it is running strong going long. We tapped the Blue River line on the day, if we can break it we may be able to see more Bear action on the eur. It has been in a long upward trend for awhile, so a good drop may be in order, espcially since Mr. B was talking favorably about the dollar this week.

Not to long after I got in the Eurusd, the Eurjpy did what i thought to be a head fake on the 30min consolidation trade that I do. It broke my low then retraced, then broke it again. According to my rules, I need a candle open below my breakou range. By the time I got that my stop would have been about 70 pips. I should have traded it anyway but didn't. Now I wish I did becasue that entry is now up over 150 pips. Not only that but the was possible opportunities for maybe 1 more entry on it. I have been wanting to go long on the Eurjpy because in my opinion the over trend of the day is to short it.

Eurjpy, Going short

So, I got in the Eurjpy on a 30min consolidation breakout. As I was about to get in the trade, my internet dropped. I was flipping out cause these breakouts, when they happen, tend to pay pretty fast. By the time I got my router restarted the market was about 20 pips above the open. So I lucked out and got a GREAT entry that created a 15 pip stop.

Around the same time I got in the 2hr cross on the Eurusd for a sell. That trade hung around until Mr. B started talking favorably about the dollar. When that happened the Eurusd fell like a rock. I think I took about 60+ pips on that until it stopped me out with profits.

Eurjpy Dropped pretty good around the same time. So as you can imagine, I was going crazy trying to keep up with taking profits and moving stops.

My game plan is to keel entery short on the Eurjpy as more 30min consolidations form and break on the short side. We have the Day ROI failing and 4hr BB's being created. 4.30 trades pretty well and consistanly on the Eurjpy, so I will be looking for that as further confirmations to get in. We are also looking at Day trendwall lines to be broken on the short side also.

short target on eurjpy for me is 132.60 area. then 132.15-01 area. So we shall see how the rest of the Eurjpy will act over the next coming days.

What Im Working With

So I finally got my desk set up after 3 months. I cannot wait for next week of trading. Talk about being able to see what's happening. I bought two 25.5" Samsung Tv's from Sam's a few months ago and they have been sitting in their boxes. Im primed and ready.
