Average week in FX for my trade.

GBPCHF trade that i cancelled I the place the order back ;live. Still open.

AUDUSD sell stop was stopped out loss $237. However I took a GBPAUD short as a hedge which worked out ook witha small profit against the AUDUSD of $3336 = $100 profit

TF Dax and CL trades during the week all produced nice returns. These trades are to quick to post. As with my short term FX trades. In all the FX trades produced about $1200 for the week including the GBPCHF open trade at $380 profit.

NZDUSD stopped out with a total gain of +34

Also took a couple of 5 minute trades.

Trade 1 was a buy stop order on GBPAUD entry was 2.11462 hit target at 2.12307 = +85

Trade 2 Buy stop GBPNZD @ 2.36440 current stop 2.3691 closed 2/3 at 2.37424 = +98 and have remainder holding +47 pips @stop.

When in a trade such as the NZDUSD long I'm always looking at other pairs such as GBPNZD and finding S/R and consolidation area's where i can place buy and sell stops. And if i am trading the GBPNZD am watching (Cable) GBPUSD for movement.

Is this all hypothetical play or the real thing?

How long have you been at his game?

SUCCESS? Details? $$$/transaction?

Why I asked? I traded share/stocks for a few years. No fear!

Been trading since 92.

Its the real thing. Have a look at your charts and watch the trades happen. Keep in mind the signals I am posting are from the daily charts. However, am using several intraday strategies , such as hedging and dollar cost averaging. Also use a matrix correlation model.

I do some stocks but not many these days. Trade more DAX , ES, YM, TF, ZN, CL. GC and a couple of others. Forex isn't my main focus.

Cheers.

Best in your trading, Sir.

Best in your trading, Sir.

Cheers,

It is what it is, doesn't change much. I know the systems expectancy , so don't worry about loosing trades as long as you keep money management correct. Position size, stop placement and also knowing when and not to be aggressive..

I am thinking this AUDUSD and NZDUSD could be a bit cheeky on the longside. Was an aggressive sell that took them down.

If you want something to go up and you own it, sell it. Murphy's law. Watching the commodity based currencies yesterday i became unsure because of the yuan devaluation so was better to close those trades for a small loss. Both moved to approximate targets 160 pips higher. Thats trading.

CADJPY sell limit @ 95.79 stop 96.27 target 94.65 Triggered.

AUDCAD buy limit @ 9560 stop 9514 target 9666

Pip stands for percentage in point. A pip is equal to 1/100th of 1 percent. If you buy the EUR/USD pair at 1.40 and sell it at 1.41 you have gained 100 pips, If you buy EURUSD @ 1.4000 and sell at 1.4010 you have made 10 pips.

You also have the spread which is the difference from the bid and ask.
